  • Collecting Memories

    I’ve been a Nintendo fan as long as I can remember. My first memories of Nintendo were playing the NES at the barbershop my Dad took my brother and I when we were kids. The earliest games I remember are Duck Hunt, Gyromite, Top Gun, and of course Super Mario Bros. My memories are inherently…

  • Happy 25th Anniversary Game Boy

    The Game Boy turned 25 today. Let’s talk about it.

  • Speech Jamming

    Today I discovered speech jamming.  Listen below. Speech jamming works by delaying how you hear yourself talk. It can be broken but if you actively listen to your voice while talking it can make you stumble over your own words. Make sure you have sound limiting headphones on, or make sure your volume is up.

I don’t think the XBOX One will be a bad product, but I think the higher price point, and inconsistent messaging will hurt…

  • Getting Things Done

    I’ve been working hard on being productive. It ultimately comes down to just doing things. But organization and keeping track of things is incredibly important. Here are some things I do to help. I’ll also add while I’m not super productive (I can procrastinate like no other) I still feel good when I get things…

  • Writing

    I’d like to start writing more but I don’t know where to begin. I have felt incredibly empty creatively, but that’s most likely due that I’m not creating. What do you do to help get your ideas down? How do you help formulate ideas? What stimulates you to create? What stagnates you? I think I’m…
