CSS Pull Quotes
March 12th, 2007
Well, it’s certainly been a while since I posted a new CSS how-to. Actually, it’s been a while since I did much regular posting at all! Not to worry though, the Spring weather means it’s time for the blog to come out of hibernation.
CSS Pull Quotes is something I thought of last summer, and was originally going to be the subject of an article for A List Apart. Since it’s been so long since I last posted a CSS article here, I thought I add it to the list of tutorials at Design Meme.

November 8th, 2006
One of my goals in 2006 was to finish the game I had started working on last year. I’ve spent some time looking at various game design theories on the web, and found that there were many things I agreed with, like Chris Crawford’s definition of how games differ from other activities. I also found a lot of theory discussion relating to video games and roleplaying games that I didn’t find as useful, or straight forward. Here is a brief overview of my thinking on game design theory, in case anyone else interested in designing their own game would find this helpful.
