I should tell you about one of my favorite artistic practices: Lectio Divina. Originally a form of contemplative prayer. 1. Choose an image that speaks to you. 2. Spend a good deal of focused time meditating on why it speaks to you. 3. Create something in response, from that depth of feeling.

Late night meditation. I'd rather live well, love the people in my life well, than be successful. I'd rather profoundly impact a few in good and true ways than be famous and widely known. I will die content one day having lived such a life.

my personal advice to those seeking work: prioritize messaging people over applying to positions I don't think I have ever gotten a single job from an application. It's always been the result of meeting someone, having a conversation, discovering an opportunity

Sorry for the heavy posts. But turns out I’m pretty good at caring for folks who can’t move or talk much. Attentiveness, patience, listening, taking things real slow. It’s a good feeling, meeting the need of someone so sundered from normal experience.

Last year's been crazy. Catching up on work in hospital, not first time. Caring for parents in surgery, rehab. Had a second child. Lost my job, switched to freelance. But I feel good. I've prioritized being a good father, husband. And despite it all I'm doing the most interesting work of my career.

Sky Samurai packs a lot into a simple premise. The controls are easy—tap to aim and shoot. But every shot consumes your limited energy. You have to aim strategically and get good combos to stay alive.

this is your friendly reminder that I made a sick game about a moody robot that enjoys launching full of speed and rage at his enemies on the App Store
