Transcribed from my GDNet Journal Gaiiden’s Scroll 12:25pm, June 18th 2001 an email was delivered to my Hotmail Inbox. 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 […]

GDC 2011 Recap
March 7th, 2011 · 2 Comments · GameDev.net
It was another memorable year in San Francisco for me while attending the 25th Annual Game Developers Conference. 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 […]

My first foray into Interactive Fiction
November 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Personal
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 […]
Bored in Seattle
May 14th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Personal
So after my trip to Vancouver I had to shoot down to Seattle the following week for the LOGIN Conference, which you can read about in more detail over at my GDNet Journal. I arrived in Seattle Sunday just 11am and it was barely a 5 minute car ride to my hotel. After checking in […]
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 GameDev.net Collection
December 17th, 2008 · 8 Comments · GameDev.net, Personal
For the past year I’ve been fortunate to be involved with the folks from Cengage Learning in working on a book series that has collected dozens of GameDev.net articles into 4 books for mass-market publishing. We at GDNet have know the Cengage folks for several years already, but this was my first chance to work […]
And the day is done

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Great day today. Woke up early and got out to the conference venue early. Picked up Rich’s badge and went out to find something to eat for breakfast. Came back and chowed down while waiting for the keynote to start. Alex Seropian form Wideload Games gave a nice speech on the […]
Heading out to Austin
September 13th, 2008 · No Comments · Personal
Next week I’ll be in Austin, TX, attending the Austin Game Developers Conference on behalf of GDNet. It’s the first in a string of conferences that continue until ION in May, after which I enjoy a nice 4 months of not traveling before the conference season (mine, at least) kicks off again. This will be […]
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 […]
