Note: This idea has blossomed into a proper project I am, for now, calling ThinkThank . The idea is simple, I want to take a moment to share what kind of thinking a game has inspired in me, along with a sentiment of thankfulness for that inspiration. Originally, this list was a "Page", while each piece would be a separate Post. I have now switched this format for future endeavors.

I just got home from an local industry mixer/dinner where I got the chance to shoot the shit with some other developers and games industry people.

I'm not really cut out for the more performative industry stuff. But tonight was nice-- got to talk game design, trains, local accents, and a little Canadian history with some nice Albertans.

Yes, blogging is in my technological blood so I'm not going to fight it much longer. I don't think I'll settle on some singular purpose-- for now. At this time, this is the place where I'd like to put my stuff. Thoughts, pictures, writing, maybe a few bike builds? See, I'm into a lot of different things, none of which I'm terribly good at, but they help me be whole and at peace.
