I've started a new project: Game Dev Foundry—a community-driven resource to help empower game devs build and run successful studios.
Game development is hard, but we don’t have to figure it all out alone—let’s build this together!

Just finished another major project... marrying my best friend, @zakwhaley.com. I couldn't ask for a better partner!
It was so wonderful getting to celebrate this next stage of our lives with our loved ones, and to dance the night away to our geeky playlist!

True story-- The best IT/SysAdmin I've worked with had his desk in a cramped server closet and 3 custom mechanical keyboards. Despite having a desk nearby, I only ever saw him when he called for me.
