Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier Trouble - Joins the Cartoon Novel Series!

I now have a cartoon book series!


Last year I got the amazing opportunity to actually call myself an author when I published my first book.

It's kind of like calling myself an actor, even though I've only recorded an audiobook and taken one improv class.

Anyway, I published Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year--a cartoon novel about my rambunctious puppy Chloe and all the insane trouble she gets herself into.

At first it may sound like a kids book. It's a cartoon book. Adults like Spongebob, right?

As I say in my description:

In a clever way, this cartoon novel teaches kids (and their parents!) to set out after what they want and become determined to never give up on what you dream about; for if you want something badly enough, no matter the scope and do everything you can to make it happen, it will.

 And in my NEW description for Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier Trouble 


The fluffy little Chloe loves to cuddle like a warm, cozy blanket (only it's summertime, so it's less comfortable than it sounds) as a rabbit cheerfully hops through the garden ...

When would that ever happen?

It sounds great! Save maybe the part about sticking to my lounge chair. 

Welcome another very different kind of dog book.

I'll say it again, this is not some basic, made-up "Dan and his Dog" book written for preschoolers. My dog turned out to be the opposite of "puppy development". She behaved a little better when we first got her, as I tell the whole thing in my red journal I called Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year.

Now that we got that out of the way, Prissy Little Chloe is a Bestselling dog cartoon novel series about my blonde Yorkie Chloe and all the trouble she gets herself into!

This book in the series centers on how Chloe always wants to be the center of attention; she makes up her own rules everyday--and gets herself into a (literal!) rut running through the neighborhood--setting me on a (literal!) wild goose chase, every single day, without fail. She slips through the gate in the yard or runs through the door when she gets the chance and then runs across the street into peoples' backyard, homes ... or into their car.

Chloe is a mischievous little puppy, as troublesome as she is precious. Come and see what she's been up to in these funny, oddball days of trying to handle this little golden Yorkie pup!

Level Design in God of War (Part 1)

Becoming the God of War God of War is one of the most-critically acclaimed franchises to ever hit the Playstation market. In this pipeline deconstruction, I will refer to elements of the series as a whole. Dominus the main character in concept, needed to be summed up in a single word -- wrath . Covered in the ash of his wife and child, the character is a demigod who seeks revenge on the gods who betrayed him. Once the artists stripped away his armor and shield, the character’s true raw, animalistic side was exposed. Tall with upper-body musculature, covered in ashes and hunched over with his signature Blades of Chaos, Dominus was a force to be reckoned with. Dominus set the stage for the today’s Playstation mascot -- Kratos. Level Design Mood and exploration is a staple part of level design in God of War . Areas that are more open are also relatively barren; while many objects are placed around smaller areas like rooms. I think this encourages the player’s sense o...

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted G...
