I’ve got more than a few drafts of super wound up blog posts detailing my recent antics in the queue, but let me skip their unfinishedness and cut to the chase: I’m fucking busy. I’m super fucking busy. I’m so god damned busy its unbelievable. I mean I could tell you […]

So tonight the company threw together a “family fun trip” to Rabbit Hill, a local ski resort nestled 20 minutes south of the city. Fans of geography will note that this is nowhere near a mountain, which is why I suppose they call it Rabbit Hill not Rabbit Mountain. Fans of skiing would, I’ve been […]

So the holiday now draws to its inevitable close. I’m more than a little apprehensive about this year as its the year of do-or-die in the exciting world of making video games. I have plans to make a big splash, but can I actualize them after the soul-sucking that was my last position? Stay tuned […]

I can’t really contain in a textual form the personal hell I’ve been going through for the past month or so. Moving on from the University of Lethbridge was something I desperately needed to do, but nothing could have prepared me for the painful process that would be packing up my life and moving it […]

In case anyone was wondering, I’m not dead … yet.
Let me blow through the highlights of my personal life over the past few weeks. We’re in Edmonton now, set up in a quaint little apartment disconcertingly close to a major freeway. The audio impact of that proximity was a little bit hard to swallow, but […]

I think it is a sign that I’m a terrible blogger that in a time of great personal stress and upheaval I basically shut the hell up and stop writing about anything at all. I know I’ve mentioned that we are Edmonton bound, but I’ve mentioned nothing of the personal trials and tribulations that I’ve […]

Well take a look at this. That looks like my house. It is my house! My house is for sale! Why would such a thing come to pass?
Why because I’m moving, of course. My wife has secured employment with HIV Edmonton and the Pollards are now obligated to migrate north, ever closer to the arctic […]
