A few weeks spent underwater
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. I’m sort of beginning to wonder what the purpose of it. The last few posts have been all over the map. Am I using this to disseminate things I find cool? Am I using this for commentary or musings? I’d like to use if for all…

Passed Around
I finally got this pay slip in the mail, after it was passed around for several weeks in Queen’s internal mail system. I thought I’d capture it here; it represents my educational experience with shocking accuracy. The “experience” is coming to a close, and there’s really only 7 months left for me at Queen’s. This…

Coming up this week…
In 12 hours I’m going to be getting on a flight to Vancouver. This is my final hurrah of the summer, the final tiny bit of adventure I get in before school starts up again. In Vancouver the agenda is pretty thick with Game Design and Digital Media schools to check out. I’ve got five…

Nelly’s Ride Wit Me
Back in Grade 11, a few friends and I innocently made a music video cover of Nelly’s Ride Wit Me. We really weren’t seeking artistic integrity at the time, just seeing what we could do with some video editing and shooting. Also, one of the guys I was working with was incredibly rich (as as…

Quagmire

It’s the Vancouver Film School Game Design Program. It’s a twelve-month intensive program, where I drop $29,000 to have…

What I'm reading right now
In light of yesterday’s post on the newest book I’ve got, I’m going to reveal what Dustin’s reading on a regular basis. I’m actually a ways off from breaking into Second Person – I have several books to go through before that. Usually, for books, I have one fiction and one non-fiction going at the…

A Short History of Progress
Summer of 2004:I’m bussing downtown at Chez Piggy, leaving me pretty unstimulated intellectually, leading some critics to call this “a rather boring summer.” While trying to cure my boredom, I discover Second Life while surfing on mmorpg.com. Considering I’m part of a real-life Improv Show, I try starting a team in Second Life. I manage…
