Here there be writings of all kinds, but mostly my own thoughts and ramblings about art, sketches, video games, animation, and design.

Toronto Comic Arts Festival!

After hearing a lot of positive raving from friends about TCAF last year, I resolved to make that event my first out-of-country trip in years — and my first trip to Canada, and my first non-local festival, AND the first time meeting people online with whom I’ve been acquainted for years! That time has finally come and […]

About Me

I joined this social media website called about.me not too long ago. I still don’t really “get it” (it turns out that social media that isn’t Twitter eludes me completely — it might be my tendency toward quietness, and maybe I should develop a Game Plan with it), but there must be something to it: […]

NPT: Storytellers

I’m back-a-thon from the hackathon at the very first Hack for the Community! Not only was this the first event of its kind in this area — a volunteer-driven hack event to meet community needs in middle Tennessee — but it is the first hackathon I’ve gone to (and not the last!). Apparently there was a dearth […]

Awesome Games Done Quick 2014: Fighting Cancer with Games!

Awesome Games Done Quick

For some reason, I only JUST found out about this event — a week-long, 24-hour livestream of video game speedruns done to raise funds for cancer research through the Prevent Cancer Foundation. A great thing for a great cause: as of this posting, they’ve raised $363,000 of their $500,000 goal! I’ve been watching on-and-off since Tuesday and I’ve gotta say, as someone who knows one too many people touched by cancer, and as a gamer, that I’m very happy this event exists to help people.

EDIT: They ultimately raised over one million dollars! $1,023,218.02 as of 1/14 10 AM CST. That’s amazing.

Healthcare Website Building and Edits 2011-2013

My time working with HCA Healthcare Information Technology & Services has had me edit hundreds of healthcare websites in the span of two years. Most of it has been migrating text and image content, either from a previously-existing website or from provided Word documents, PDFs, and attachments for new sites in dotCMS. Many more have […]

Web Catalog 2010

Several years back, I quickly developed ten wireframe web layouts for use where I worked, the basis of corporate and other soon-to-be. The company’s sudden closure meant that these would never be utilized by them, but then I put them to use: they have served as the basis for WordPress themes I am developing, including […]
