Life Update Before Thanksgiving

Hey everyone. I haven’t posted in a while. Love the blog, just never get around to posting. Driving through life at 80 miles and hour and keep missing my exit, if you know what I mean (don’t even think I do.)

Anyways- I just wanted to write that things are going great. The school quarter wrapped up a week ago, and then I flew out to San Francisco to AdobeMAX where things went great, and now I am back at Rochester and heading to Boston from Tuesday to Sunday for thanksgiving break.

On a few topics that deserve more elaboration, AdobeMAX went great. I gave a presentation on the New Media Showcase which was my senior project along with other juicers and talented youngin’s and the presentation was about not only the showcase but sort of a general philosophy on new media and education and the like. Again, this deserves more attention, but the talk went spectacularly. I was at a special Adobe event at Adobe headquarters before the actual MAX presenting to educators and industry leaders and the like. I was the first in a series of talks, and I got to talk for 40 minutes. I really felt like somehow the talk came together, and I really ended up impressing a lot of people. People were coming up to me and the professors all day saying what an excellent job I did and I actually was being referenced in future talks throughout the day. One guy told me that when I got up there, he didn’t expect me to say anything “important” or enlightening or anything that would get him thinking. He said that I just blew him away and that some of the stuff I was talking about really got him thinking. Anyways- it rocked. Real hard. Adobe gloating done.

On to school, school went awesome. Army Ants wrapped up great. I need to capture video on the school computers of the game so I can post it here and elsewhere. I think the game went really spectacularly.

Finally, Darkwind Media is rocking out hard. Luster is blossoming into a fine young gentleman. We will be releasing our first public demos soon, which show off some neat shaders and also take that platform and create a visualizer out of it. Real cool stuff. Be sure to “stay tuned”

That’s all. I need to post more. I need to comment more. I read everyones post and I am glad everyone is doing well. Peace my friends. Keep on Juicin’

P.S. Future posts to come: One on “What Android means for the future of mobile devices” based on my own speculation and a second on “Army Ants : A Post-Mortem”
