Some quick updates
Hey, gang! Just wanted to give some very brief updates.
I’ll be updating the look of my bloggins, so you may notice that things are broken or missing while I’m tinkering with the code.
I’m playing one or more shows in sunny Austin, TX during the East Austin Studio Tour. If you are reading this and want to take part in E.A.S.T., let me know… soon. You don’t have to...

Boo on me...
…for not posting so much lately. I’ve taken a little mini-break from NES programming and visuals to take care of general life stuff like house cleaning and other things that adults are supposed to do. Also, I’ve become insanely tied up in three video games all at once.
Kirby’s Epic Yarn for Nintendo Wii. I was very excited for the release of this game, and it’s...
