Ok, I admit, I really suck. I haven't been maintaining this journal nearly as much as I ought to. I even let it expire. *gasps* Well, I finally renewed it with a whole year, so maybe it'll work out better this time.

Since my last journal entry I've had a new kid, a baby boy! My wife and I welcomed him into our family back in November, which has certainly been keeping us busy.

I've also posted up a couple more interviews I've conducted at tech-artists.org with Kees Rijnen, owner of Lumonix and co-founder of Slick Entertainment, and with Jeff Hanna, Senior Technical Artist at Volition. Within the next couple of weeks I'll be getting an interview with Jen Bahan, a Rigger/Technical Animation Supervisor at Rhythm & Hues. Head on over to tech-artists.org and check them out!

I also just got my tax returns today (yeah!) and just placed an order for a new tube amp for my geetar. When my wife and I were moving to Texas we were a bit strapped for cash and I sold my half stack, and I've been without an amp since. A coworker is really big into playing the blues on his acoustic, so I picked up a Valve Junior, a little Class A 5-watt tube amp which should be a blast to play with.

I SWEAR my next journal entry will be soon and relate to the game industry and/or community in some way. [wink]
