Blog post
Where does the time go? My last blog was in July of 2007. I've been so incredibly busy and wanted to write a blog post for months now. I seem to wait until I have something 'cool' to show but then even if I do, I seem to sit on it. I guess I am trying to make the mother of all blog posts. Well, I've been working on lots of things, somethings I can show and somethings I cannot, however this post is not the mother of all blog posts.

Aside from that, I got married on November 11th, 2007 to my lovely wife, Alize Huston and I now live in London, England with her.



Since graduating from Purdue University in 2006, I've been working as a full-time contractor both inside and outside of the Torque community. Why have I been contracting? Well my living situation wasn't an ideal one for working in an office, I live in Indianapolis and my wife lived in London, England and I've called both cities home for about the last 2 years. It feels great to finally be settled down in London, though I miss Indianapolis and the USA!

I've been happy to work on some very exciting projects. During the summer of 2007 I worked with the great guys at Game Refuge, Inc of Arctic Stud fame on a TGEA related project. Also, just recently published is Tae Kwon Do Championship which I worked as a GUI programmer for IMC Digital Universe, Inc, which was a non-Torque project.

Well I hope this post fills everyone in on my apparent 'inactivity' over the past few months will be a transition to a new era of apparent 'activity'. Aside from professional work, I've got a pretty exciting project up my sleeves that I've been working on for over a year now. The project was originally started as a Torque Game Builder project but has transitioned into using the now available TGEA 1.7. Please stay tuned as I will be posting up blogs related to this project in the coming days and weeks.

Nice photo Matt, although that lens flare is obviously photoshopped. ;)

Having heard a bit about your secret project I can say this one looks very exciting, definitely something to keep an eye on.

Congrats!
I am friends of Brian from Game Refuge, Very nice to meet a friend of his! I am jealous of you being in London!! But I have it good in NW Washington, the prettiest area of America imo!
I can't wait to hear what the project is you are working on.
