Starting a new chapter in my career
After much thought and careful consideration, I’ve recently turned in my resignation with Click Here and will be joining the team at Blockdot starting on November 26th. While I’m very much looking forward to meeting (and of course working with) all of the extremely talented developers at Blockdot, I will also miss my friends at Click Here who have been the best group of people I’ve had the pleasure of working with to date. The last 4 years have been very valuable to me in terms of both personal and professional growth and if anyone reading this post is presented with the opportunity to work at Click Here, I would definitely recommend it. With that said, it’s time for me to look ahead to my future and open a new chapter in my career… a chapter that looks to hold plenty of fun challenges, learning opportunities and of course… games.

A new look for this blog
I feel like I still need to tweak it here and there, but what do you think about it?
My little ‘ol mini arcade
I was digging around some old files and found this little mini arcade that I built back at the beginning of 2006 for a contest that was being held by the nice folks over at PlayStation (which explains the heavy PlayStation branding in the games). The winner of the contest got a free trip to E3, but that winner wasn’t me (oh well). The mini arcade consists of 3 very simple games: “Game Box Memory”, “Sony Says” and “Mega Shooting Gallery”. I had fun making the games and I hope you have a couple of minutes of fun playing them.
Pownce invites
I have 4 Pownce invites. If you're interested, be one of the first 4 people to email me (use the email link in the side bar on the right). I'll post a comment here once I've received the 4 emails.

If you're interested, you can find me on Pownce under the name FlashCanon
