    Found this awesome hat at my local thrift shop. So excited for it. #waluigigang

    Been working on my maze game lately. I have a bunch of puzzle style features that will be used in the variety of mazes that the player will encounter. This gif shows off the ones I have done so far: Conveyor belts, buttons that drop barriers, portals, locked doors, and moveable blocks. I am looking forward to working on it more. #haxeflixel #gamedev #indiegame

    So, I am looking for a job again. I am really trying to figure out what it is that I need to be doing. I think I am getting burned out on web development. Maybe it is just the lack of interesting projects to work on, but I have been having a hard time with focus and motivation at the last few jobs I had. If I can, I would like to pivot to a new career. I am passionate about writing, particularly advocacy. #jobs #advocacy

    Oh my gosh. Today, I found a job listing at a local policy organization that is right up my alley. It is a Data Analyst position and I feel like it would be a great fit for me. I really don&amp;#39;t want to jinx anything. I need to customize my resume and write a compelling cover letter. I want this to work. Wish me luck. #jobs #advocacy

    Having a very stressful and anxiety riddled day. But I am taking some time to start working on a new game. I want to finish this one and get it out there. This game will be a maze game. I mentioned it here before. I am currently building the bones of the game. Soon I will be adding more unique mechanics and some story elements. #gamedev #indiegamedev #haxeflixel

    I recently read Micro by Richard Preston and Michael Crichton. This is one of those posthumous books of his. This one is complete garbage. It doesn&amp;#39;t sound like Crichton, it is very poorly written, and just bad. From what I understand, this was written based on some notes Crichton wrote on napkins or something and Preston wrote a book based on what little info he had. But to put Crichton&amp;#39;s name on this book is a disservice to his legacy. #books #michaelcrichton

    This week I took a major step toward improving my focus when I work on games and write. I had thought about just creating a user profile on my Mint OS laptop, but felt this was not enough. So I decided to multi-boot my computer by installing a dedicated gaming OS and a dedicated work OS. I went this route because otherwise, I would be tempted to just log into the other profile at any time. Now, I have to actually save my work, restart my PC and log into the other OS. #gamedev #indiegames #linux
