The other night I had a dream that Crispin Glover and I were sitting around the kitchen table in my grandmother’s house.We were quoting his lines from Back to the Future back and forth and laughing our heads off. Then my grandmother came into the kitchen and said something, and in his perfect George McFly…

There’s a new free game up on the Xbox Live Marketplace today.While it’s a free download for everyone, you’ll need a Vision camera to actually play TotemBall. TotemBall was developed by Strange Flavour, the same guys who made ToySight for the Apple iSight. I played TotemBall this morning for a few minutes before work…and it’s…

I just finished my latest big project. Check out the redesign over at DreamHost.com.

It seems to be working well because they really haven’t broken anything yet and they’ve pretty much only been adding new features or fixing some small usability issues. In their Tokyo Game Show press release they’ve made a bit of a surprise…

Well today is the official Talk Like A Pirate Day. Instead of talking like a buffoon all day I’m going to share with you some real pirate booty!
