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...

Don Miller interview on Motherboard
Q+A: A Chat with NES Homebrew Visual Artist Don Miller on Motherboard Check out this interview with NES visual hero Don Miller (NO CARRIER). It’s a nicely-done, interesting article that’s definitely worth a read. (Also, Don gives a little shout-out to me… squeeee!)

What I want for Christmas...
The Electron Echo Mini Piano was a drugstore toy of the late 80s/early 90s. It was a small keyboard that fit in your hand and had little rubber buttons for keys. Even when new, the Electron Echo sounded like its battery was near empty. Each note made this pathetic and beautiful digital meow. Ahh, childhood. Maybe one will pop up on eBay someday.

IGN: Interests Girls Never?
Hey, while I’m picking on IGN… check out this freaking INSANE review of Bratz Rock Angelz for PS2. Despite giving the game a good 7.5/10 ranking, most of the review is spent tirelessly qualifying the very existence of the review. If you’re reading IGN you’re likely a young male big on killing living things with heavy weapons. If that’s true (which it obviously is...

Style Savvy: My Thesis
Video games aren’t all bad, are they? Some keep your math skills sharp, others get you dancing, and others are at minimum good for thumb motility. In fact, I learned a few life lessons from a game I wouldn’t have expected to play at all: Style Savvy for the Nintendo DS. Style Savvy is a fashion game that I’ll assume is primarily targeted to a female audience. And unlike Bratz Ponyz, Babiez, and...

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...
