ok, got it

I came up with a codename for the side project mentioned in the last post. It is Stardust. It’s named after the Neil Gaiman novel (and movie, releasing August 10th in the US) which I haven’t actually read. I’m waiting until after I see the film so that the movie can be good and the [...]

a new side project

Since last Tuesday I’ve been working on designing a boardgame. Haven’t come up with a codename for the project yet, but I’m excited about it. I think it is the first side project I will complete (as progress on the design is going so well… I am hoping to have it playable by next week), [...]

how cool!

I’m staying home from work today because I’m not feeling really well. I was busy pretty much all weekend, painting most of the day Saturday in a very hot room, which I think took a lot out of me (my nose started to get stuffed up Saturday night and by Sunday night I was feeling [...]

I can feel my mind getting jumbled and full again…

… so hopefully this will help to unburden it. I just discovered the concept of immediate mode GUIs, which is why the mind-jumble is occuring. Trying to figure out whether it is much better than the normal way to do GUIs (seems likely) and whether it is worth it for me to try it out [...]

balance

Last night I was playing racquetball with my friend, and I wasn’t doing very well to begin with. I think he had something like four or five points before I scored any. So I observed what I was doing and I realized that most of the time, I was off balance. My mind had been mostly [...]
