About
I’ve always been a reader of blogs but never a writer. Most of this comes from my not finding the time to figure out what was involved or what to talk about. After helping build and manage a WPMU system during an internship, and finding free time now, it seemed like a good idea to get started.
I have two loves in the world, visual media and all things that fascinate me. OK, I admit the second one is cop out, but I like the open ended and it helps cover my bases. I am a major Ciniphile and a week without visiting the theater to catch a film is like ordering a pizza and getting a ham sandwich. SciFi , Fantasy and Period Dramas are my favorite genres of film but I’ll just as soon catch the latest RomCom or horror on the market.You can fully expect to find pre and post reviews and opinions on upcoming films and nostalgic treks into the past.
I am equally fascinated by video games, though I seldom play them in a religiously devout manner, though as some may think that because of my WoW days. My main interest comes from the way in which they present the story to a player, and how much eye candy it brings along. Unlike other mediums of entertainment games for me truly stand above and by themselves as the only option which can currently take that extra step and fully plant you at the helm of its unfolding adventure. I have a great interest in their creation and design rather then simply finding out how much gil to buy the armor of +2 death is gonna run me. Much as with movies, you will find news on some of the titles I find interesting and others I manage to get around to playing.
I have spent the majority of the last 6 years studying Computer Science and Business at the University of Alberta and spent a 16 month internship with DigiTLE, where I was exposed to the full brunt of the social web as part of my employment. I am currently working on several personal projects and learning the UDK and recently released CryEngine 3 SDK as well as recently completing a contract project with Kinect Technology, City as Classroom. I will share developments from time to time as well as random intriguing information I pass over from day to day web jumping.
Site back, buckle up, and enjoy the drive.
