The Kickstarter goal for Ball Stars is over the halfway mark thanks to our backers! The game is afoot!

Come aboard and help us move the project forward. This is the start of something exciting… Let’s Play…

I was flying back from Chicago last night and the flight had The Whale (2022 movie) available. I didn’t catch many of the “award movies” this year, so I ended up watching it and I liked what it had to offer.

One…

Jesse Hamm: Exceptional artist, Generous Human (and Meme Master!)

Since the passing of Jesse Hamm one week ago, I’ve been mulling over something to say to honor him. I met him around 2007 and many people have known him longer and more in depth than I, but I always felt lucky to consider him a friend.
