Farewell beard

(may we meet again)

Orbital and stuff

Hi guys. Here’s what has gone down the month of November.

Connexus Complete!

Hi people. I know I’m one day late for my intended monthly milestone, but this delay was intentional and for a very good cause.

Demo, Lightning, and Music

I’ve been trying to stick to a once-a-month update schedule for this page in order to balance out long periods of silence and having enough interesting stuff to say. I kept slacking on September’s update until today when I realized I had to get my stuff in order quick. Tragically, my computer restarted part of the way through typing out my update so in addition to me trying to impatiently reproduce it, I may miss the deadline.

Siggraph and stuff

So the exciting thing that went on this month was that I attended Siggraph 2008 in Los Angeles. For those who do not know, Siggraph means Special Interest Group in Graphics (specifically computer graphics). Although there is an organization called Siggraph, the term is generally used to refer to an annual conference where tons of nerds get together and show off all their cool stuff. The conference has gotten pretty big and now covers a wide variety of topics beyond just computer graphics. You can see research presentations for new technology that you might see in cutting edge games and movie graphics five years from now.

Triangle Game Jam 2008

There has been a bunch of interesting things happen over the past few months. I really wish I had posted about some of this stuff closer to when it happened so I could remember it better. Oh well, take what you can get.

Whew, what a weekend

Well friends, it has been a long time once again. First off, Willow mentioned that there was no news archive anymore. I hadn’t even noticed. I added a cheap news archive search, but only by date. I would add search by title but it’s rare that titles are relevant, and even more rare that anyone would use it. The link to the news archive is on the right side of the front page before and after the latest news.

Connexus

There are a few things that I would like to write up before I forget about them:

GDC and stuff

Hey guys. Although my life is fairly routine these days (which lowers my motivation to make updates here) I have had an interesting event that I feel is worthy of documentation.

I'm back from my 7 month sabbatical

Wow, I haven’t posted since the end of June! That must be a new record. I could tell you all about my new house, but most of you have been here and if you haven’t then you should come over sometime. And if you have then its been a long time and you should come over again. Anyway, owning a house is great, even when the value of it drops every day due to the housing market bomb. There are things I’d like to do like tile the bathroom floors and put in a pocket door and tile the kitchen backsplash, but all that crap takes time and money and its much easier to sit here on the couch and tell you guys that I want to do it than to actually do it.
