Roller Coaster Disc Golf Win
This game of disc golf…. it literally saved my life due to latching onto it as a weight loss tool, but in the process it also has provided some of the most frustrating and at the same time most satisfying moments of my life. I’ve always been way too competitive, probably beyond my mental or […]

Atari Legend Interview
Back in 2004 (wow.. 20 years?) I was asked to do an interview for the AtariLegend.com website. I haven’t read this interview for a long time, I just remembered it and thought it would be groovy to add a link to it on my site. It’s a basic interview, but it gives a pretty good […]

Disc Golf Rebound?
So after my last post about my disc golf slump, I decided to change a few things to help get my game back to a level that I’m comfortable with. “Comfortable” to me means I’m playing at a minimum level of skill that I expect to be playing at. So “changing” things just ended up […]

Why I Fish
I’ve always wondered why my urge to fish is so strong. As a youth growing up it’s not like any of my family taught me how to fish. Oh sure, my father took me fishing (he didn’t fish) a couple of times and I was even gifted a Popeil Pocket Fisherman. But no one in […]

Severe Weather 2015
I’ve always been an very amateur storm chaser. Living in Texas for the past 40 years I’ve had more than my share of very close calls with Tornadoes. We’ve had small tornadoes damage our home, larger tornadoes come within 10-20 miles, tennis ball size hail, insane wind, etc. Back in 2015 I had been dabbing […]

Full Pede Ahead
Centipede followed by Millipede are without a doubt my all time favorite arcade games. Many hours and quarters were lost playing these games at my local arcades. I think I’ve coded either a demo or a full game based on these games on every platform I’ve ever programmed on. lol.. I coded my first attempt […]

Retroblast
Download Retroblast For PC Retroblast (Released in 2008) was coded in VB6 using the last version of my DXGame Engine. Similar to the Flash game I would go on to code later called “Retroshoot”, this game was basically an exercise in learning more about code automation, “set it and forget it” game coding, etc. I […]
