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 [...]

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.

So I had the brilliant thought to edit the automatic first post generated for the article feedback thread to include a biography on the author(s). We have a bio field in the article admin, but I’ve never used it and I have no idea where it actually shows up. [...]

I apologize that there’s no featured article today. I was feeling a little sick – don’t know if I actually was or not but being that every other member of my family in the house (4 of em) have been sick over the past 2 weeks I figured best [...]
