Easter Break

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

I will be vacationing to Washington State over this weekend, so unfortunately I won’t be able to get another platformer demo out this weekend like I had hoped. I have finished the planned features that I wrote about in my previous post, I just have to create the level to show the new features off.

In the mean time, check out the Video that Brad Borne (Fancy Pants Adventures) made. It even offers a few hints as to how he get such beautiful slope hit detection. I’m watching you, Brad. I’m watching (wanna collaborate?).

Starbucks, the Social Oxymoron

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

“…Seattle has unleashed this weird phenomenon upon the world, called the coffee shop. The coffee shop, thanks to Starbucks, is the place where socially isolated, lonely, needy people gather together to ignore one another. That is so weird! So all these people who are lonely, go to the coffee shop to open up their laptop, and to drink their burnt coffee, and put their iPods in their ears so they can ignore one another in community.”

Rarotonga

My brother and I had the opportunity to send our parents to Rarotonga for my father’s 60th birthday. The party was a night that won’t be forgotten. This image was part of a thank-you card made by my father to all who participated in the planning of the party.

I myself am now off onto the trip of a lifetime to California.
