So, it would appear to have come to ‘End Of An Era – Pt.II’ for my electronic music net.label Monotonik, which I’ve been running since 1996 in .MOD and .MP3 form. In that time, we’ve put out over 350 free-to-download releases, initially spanning all forms of electronic music, but settling down into what you might …
My net.label Monotonik on hiatus – RIP (?) 1996-2009 Read More »
Whoa, it’s been a while, and I’m just back from almost 4 weeks away from the Bay Area (and a couple of trips before that!) – all kinds of strange but edifying fun. So let’s go through what I’ve been up to: – It was my first time at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle (Flickr …
Still a little jetlagged from our trip to Cologne, Germany to GDC Europe, which was held ahead of the big GamesCom consumer event, and was a real blast for me and my colleagues (who organized GDCE!) in its first year. Here’s our full Gamasutra coverage of the event — mainly done by me — and …
Well, it’s a busy (and also air conditioning-compatible!) summer down here in San Jose, and I haven’t been going full-bore on our various projects _all_ the time. So I’ve been trying to break up work with a modicum of leisure – hence the attached picture from San Jose’s Obon Festival, a fun yearly local event …
Time for a little update, then, and the most important thing that’s happened since my last post was the 2009 E3 Expo in Los Angeles, of course. (Forgot to bring my camera, doh, but Vincent Diamante took the above picture, and has a great gallery on Flickr for those who want to check out visuals …
As we wander into May, we’re having fun and ramping things up for summer. Oh, and first, let’s mention the awesome Katamari Damacy thrift store painting mash-up we picked up on Etsy recently (see pic!) – thanks to loudxmouse’s painting Katamari-zation services for that! What else is happening? Me and Holly wandered off to Sacramento …
Phew, so it’s a couple of weeks past Game Developers Conference 2009 now – and it really turned out amazingly, I think. You can check out full show coverage at Gamasutra’s GDC 2009 event page, to give you a good idea of the breadth and depth of content. Some of the highlights – the Independent …
Trying to update this weblog every few weeks with ‘exciting news’, or at least, some of the major, not totally irrelevant stuff happening in my life. Well, as trailed in the previous blog post, we did indeed visit England and Barcelona as well, and it was pretty darn neat – extremely cold (and snowy!) in …
2009 has started out just as crazy as 2008 for me, in largely good ways, despite the economy starting to take a decided turn for the worse. For starters, indie games seem to be getting all kinds of great mainstream coverage, from New York magazine to MSNBC and beyond, and the Independent Games Festival is …
So, I figured it was time to get into the new millenium and set up a new domain for my personal website, which was wedged awkwardly onto the Mono211.com domain. (I’m about to do a big rehaul on the Monotonik website, my free-to-download electronica netlabel, thus the change.) My old Mono211.com-hosted ffwd blog was also …
