Video games have been a big influence in my life. From early 8-bit, through the dawn of 3D, and into the current day–it’s all creative, designed to every detail (when it’s great), and built for fun. I played my share of racing games, but this was never my favorite genre. Still, this week’s links have […]

I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of […]

2024 is off and running. I’ve been trying to get off on a good foot with some changes to my routine. So far this hasn’t gone to plan. Last week, my weekly post had the wrong date. It’s not a big deal, but not ideal. My attempt to do “100 Days of Code” isn’t going […]
Welcome to 2024. Everything is new. Everything is the same. Usually, at this time of year, I’d switch things up. Reformat the posts, change the intro structure, or add/remove some element(s).
