Have you had difficulty coming up with ambitious dreams? Do you find yourself constantly ignoring possibilities, thinking that you couldn’t do or be enough?
Last week, in an effort to give back to my old high school, I joined a number of other alumni in giving presentations to the freshmen and sophomore men. The organizer’s [...]
I know. I’m very late, but I didn’t mean for the new year to start without me! What can I say about 2009? What does 2010 have in store?
Let’s look back on 2009 first. I created an index card and kept it with me throughout the year to remind me what I wanted to focus [...]
There’s a reason why you haven’t seen any Thousander Club updates in a long time. I haven’t been programming!
It’s a bit painful to see yet another week go by where I haven’t done some coding, but my current priorities don’t leave time to do game development. I’ll have more to say when these non-game development [...]

The bulk of my time was spent on Ludum Dare. You can see the previous blog posts for updates on how that contest [...]
They chase you, and they look better at doing so than I would have thought. Now I have to implement player death.
This is a bowl of popcorn.
LOOK AT IT!
I prefer my popcorn plain. It is much easier to grab a bite and continue working if I don’t feel the need to wipe the butter off of my hands every time.
