  • Beacon Pines (Spotify)

    I didn’t play it, but my wife and kid did, but the music really stood out to me when it was playing in the background. The tracks, Memories and Lullaby complement each other really well.

    The soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast was one of the best parts of the game. A very solid mostly wordless ambient pop album. But the standout track is Glide. The song itself is fantastic but the moment it plays the game is so damn perfect. The whole soundtrack did an incredible job setting the tone for a slightly flawed but chill atmospheric adventure game.

















  • I do what I call “I Toadaso Coding”. I propose a strategy for a feature that is flexible and will save us time in the future. Get overruled in favor of quick and dirty implementation to meet an arbitrary deadline. A month later, spend twice as much time implementing my the original proposal because of a nuance the other method didn’t consider. I’m not one to say I Toadaso, but I Toadaso.


  • I grew up without any sort of home computer. Still went to school for computer graphics and 3D animation, taught myself programming in the computer lab in the evenings. Only after getting my degree did I get my first computer. I’ve been a professional developer for the last 15ish years.

    I did have access to school computers most of my life. My first memory was learning LOGO on an Apple II in elementary school. Making that turtle draw fractals. Good times.
