November 7th, 2008 - Fight Science Game wins 38th Annual Creativity Silver Award
Two updates in two days! Crazy, I know. I just had to come on here because I've got some pretty huge news: I'm proud to announce that Arkadium is the proud recipient of the 38th Annual Creativity Silver Award for National Geographic's Fight Science game, a game which I played a big part in designing. It was obviously a huge effort from the entire company, and without the incredible team we had it wouldn't have happened, but I'm really proud to have been such a big part of it's development.

The Creativity Annual Awards is one of the longest running international advertising and graphic design competitions in the world. This year, judges from some of the United States' most prestigious design firms evaluated the work, and a record 2,800 entries from over 44 countries and 45 U.S. States were submitted. From them, Fight Science was chosen. It is a huge honor to be one of the recipients of such a prestigious award.

November 6th, 2008 - Commercial Page Updated
Why...why hello there! Haven't seen you in a while. It's pretty simple, really. I've been so busy I just haven't had the chance to update. What else is new, right? Either way, I just updated the commercial games page with a sweet new game I just wrapped up for National Geographic, and I added one, count 'em, one new sentence to my biography. If you can find it, I'll mail you a dollar. No, really.

History was made two days ago with the election of the first African American president, and I feel like I should say something really quick. Barack Obama is an amazing man, someone I've been following for about four years, when his presidential bid was a twinkle in his eye. Even then, I knew he was going to be somebody. I've had a lot of faith in him over the years, and every day my faith in his abilities to lead this country grow a little more. It won't be all dandelions, rainbows and unicorns, but at least he's got the capabilities to turn this country around and get it going in the right direction again. I wish Barack (and the rest of the American people) the best of luck as we all embark on this absolutely historic journey.

May 23rd, 2008 - Sick as a dog/I obviously hate updating/PHP Question
So yeah, when I said I'd never wait that long again without updating, I lied. My apologies for that. I've been sick for the last few days, which sucks. This has been the first time in three or so days that I've actually sat at my computer. I figured that since I was working from home anyway, I could pop a few quick updates on the site. I added a few new games to the commercial page and a new recommendation/section to my key skills page.

I was wondering - who's good with PHP around here? Drop me a line if you wanna make a few bucks coding a PHP backend for this site. I'd do it myself, but I hardly have the time to edit these pages via HTML in the first place. That's all for now, folks. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. I'm going to go lie down and wish I was dead! :)
