My niece is creating a game and all I know is it involves knives and hobo dwarfs. Each one has four teeth and a beard, with a snarky smile. Call me crazy, but listening to her describe it made me want to play. I picture an old link with bald head and ratty beard. Anyhoo,… More

I work with some amazing women, so lucky especially in the gaming industry – to have an all female team is pretty rare. It’s not just that they are female, but that they are smart, funny, supportive, creative, intuitive, and did I mention smart!? I told you I was hoping to write great things regarding… More

We grabbed picnic food, the dog, sunglasses, sunscreen, and reading material. So far so good. Then at the park we picked a shady spot under the… More

Ok, this is not runway speak. My cat now takes walks. No, it’s true. My cat, Lord Vader, also known as “Kitten” should have been called Houdini. He is an escape artist. When we adopted him from the Humane Society all the sweet ladies there became dark demons hissing and scorching me with their laser… More
