Happy Birthday, Tim Schafer!

Posted by GBGames on July 26th, 2008

Today is my birthday, and according to Wikipedia, besides sharing it with George Bernard Shaw, Mick Jagger, Carl Jung, Sandra Bullock, Aldous Huxley, Stanley Kubrick, and Kevin Spacey, I share it with Tim Schafer. Seems like I’ve got great company.
Happy birthday! I’m going to have some cake and celebrate with friends!

Back from SIC 2008

Posted by GBGames on July 22nd, 2008

I’m back from the Software Industry Conference. I wish I had more time to explore Boston, but the conference was great! I met a lot of cool people, saw a few good presentations, and got great advice whether solicited or not.
And yes, Boston had orange juice.

I’ve already taken actions to improve my business since coming […]

Corporations and Copyright

Posted by GBGames on July 8th, 2008

A few weeks back, Cliffski wrote about how some people complain about corporations and copyright as if they are all part of one big organization out to screw you over. He reminds you that not all corporations are huge, multi-billion dollar enterprises such as EA, British Airways, or Microsoft. Some corporations are as small […]

It Sure Is Quiet Around Here

Posted by GBGames on June 4th, 2008

I wish I could say I was too busy working on my projects to blog, but I haven’t been. It’s been crunch at the day job, and I’ve been spending any other time on higher priority things. Things are quieting down, so I should be back to a regular posting schedule soon.
I know you […]

Oh, I Felt an Earthquake This Morning…

Posted by GBGames on April 18th, 2008

I couldn’t sleep last night, so while I was working on fixing a dependency issue with Killer Kittens (by the way, I would still like some more beta testers!), I noticed that the monitor on my desk started to shake.
I thought that maybe it was my heart beat. I’ve had moments where my heart beat […]

Last week I learned from GamePolitics.com that the Illinois Governor has raided welfare funds to help pay for the ESA’s legal fees after his video game legislation was ruled unconstitutional. I’ve written previously about this law, and I was unsurprised to find that this law was merely pandering to fear.
I was also unsurprised, […]

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Posted by GBGames on January 7th, 2008

It’s been a week since January 1st, and I just moved into a new apartment. Yes, I know I was supposed to move in August, and I did, but then there were problems with that place, so now I moved again. I’ve been in crunch at the day job as well. All of this conspired […]

Merry Christmas!

Posted by GBGames on December 24th, 2007

On Christmas Eve each year, my parents host a dinner at their house. Being an Italian household, there is an abundance of seafood and pasta. After dinner, the men will usually play poker, the women will talk, and the children will either watch television or play video games.
I brought my Gamecube. I’m not as […]

I’m Moving…Again!

Posted by GBGames on December 14th, 2007

Starting tomorrow, assuming that there are no problems, I can start moving into my new apartment. I’m running a bit behind schedule in terms of this move. I haven’t hired movers, a van, or called to get electricity and gas setup at the new place. Cable will be interesting because I would like to get […]
