Tattered Page

Pardon the mess.  I’m tinkering with a new site design and having great fun breaking wordpress over and over.  I’m working off a heavily-modified version of a wordpress theme called “notepad chaos” and I have to say, it’s living up to its name.

Don’t get me wrong– the original theme was great.  It’s the chaos I added that’s currently tying up my time.

Still A lot to do- still quite a few artifacts to erase, but hopefully by the end of this weekend, It’ll be done.

Well, tatteredpage has indeed been dead for a while.  Been busy- new job, two screenshot comics for City of Heroes events, and a great deal of activity behind the scenes. 

A new look is on the way- and a bit of a new purpose.  I’ll still use this venue to occasionally discuss my thoughts on games and design, but… well, it’ll be obvious soon enough.

I’d delayed this post until I had some time to write something more engaging, but I got caught up in the “spirit of the season (revised)” (read: mad frantic running from place to place in a desperate attempt to get things accomplished) and never had the time to craft anything notable. 

I’m going back to the old (true) spirit of the season now.  The one that focuses on the people around the tree, not the presents under it.  The one that makes us smile a little more as we give a holiday greeting to strangers as we pass.  The one that makes me feel like a kid all over again.   The one that makes me feel better about myself and humanity. 

May you have a Merry Christmas, a happy New Year,

and may that Christmas feeling remain with you every day of this new year to come. 

Ok, maybe not cubicle hell, but while I’m sitting in my monochromatic 8×8 cell (desk included) I’ll be thinking of these guys at Three Rings Design. 

I knew I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

I figured Google Streetview would be a regional novelty for quite some time… I still do… they just (more or less) included MY region in that novelty.  My friend over at ShinyObjects just noted that Google’s got Streetview running in Pittsburgh, PA now.
