So … in a previous life, I used to run a site called The Texture Studio (yep, it’s still there … thank you, GameSpy). The goal of the site was to release a ton of textures for free to the public, in the hopes of getting noticed by game companies. It worked, actually … I [...]
Well … I’ve worried about re-posting Voices – a novella I wrote in 2004 – for a variety of reasons. First, it’s far from polished; I wrote the story on a day-by-day basis, posting pages as I went. There was little time for editing, little time for going back and fixing things … and I [...]
Well, I was planning on doing an update last night but instead I ended up staying awake until 2am working on Crispy Gamer. So I’ll be working on an update tonight. In fact, here’s what I’m planning on doing this week: write cDebris Tutorial #3: CSS-based rollover buttons add Voices, Chapter 1 to the site [...]
My computer was bluescreening like crazy, then with the cable modem dying for 24 hours, and then with the assembling and setting up the new PC (still not quite done) … not a good set of days for blog entries! Relatively regular updates (at least 3-4 times a week, as has largely been the case [...]

See, I live in New York, but I spent my formative years in Massachusetts, and those are the years in which sports allegiances are formed (with the exception of [...]
I have a shocking confession to make, or at least … shocking to people who play video games, which I suspect is the vast majority of this site’s small audience: I have yet to play Portal. I know, I know … many people consider it to be 2007′s Game of the Year and it’s received [...]
I’d like to preface this update by saying it’s not a “woe is me” post but more of a random musing. New York City and its economic dynamics fascinate me because they don’t seem to behave in a way that has any relation to the rest of the country. I made the choice to live [...]
I watch a great deal more movies at home than I do in the theater. This has been true basically since I bought a DVD player back in the 90s, and has become even more true as theater prices have crept up (2 adult tix in Manhattan for a non-matinee = $22 + $2 in [...]
