It was a Monday and I was probably still in school, a high school Senior ready for my final year of formal education to be over. I probably only had a few days left of classroom […]

While GDC was busy celebrating its quarter-century birthday, I was busy myself celebrating a decade of GDC attendance. My first GDC was back in 2002 and it’s been an awesome ride ever since. People who have never […]

At the end of last month I was sitting at my computer and staring at the list of new poll options for GameDev.net. I run the weekly polls that appear on the main page and lately there haven’t been many people submitting poll ideas and I’ve had trouble coming up with good ones. After a […]

First Vancouver Trip

May 10th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Personal

I was extremely excited to finally get out to Vancouver for the first time, not just to attend GDC Canada for GameDev.net, but to visit the city itself. The region around Vancouver is very beautiful in my opinion with all the evergreens and mountains and snow-capped peaks. Seeing it during the Winter Olympics only bolstered […]

2008 in Review, looking ahead for 2009

January 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Personal

I’ve read a number of journals over at GameDev.net from people who have taken a look back at the previous year and assessed their performance in achieving any goals they set for themselves, as well as re-aligning their goals for the coming year. This is a great idea and something I’m going to start doing […]

A new look for Blade Edge

June 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Blade Edge

Well, this is a start. Yes, this blog still needs to undergo massive renovation. Over the past few weeks I’ve been slowly planning out the new architecture of this website. See, I had a bit of luck in choosing my domain name back in 2001. Back then, all I cared about was software, so naming […]
