Back in November, we funded and promoted a sweet project that a friend of mine was running to teach families in Capo Verde, Africa how to run a small garden to supplement their diets. Due in part to our (small) contributions, he and his group were able to teach 15 families how to do so. Way to go, John!

MarSo I’ve written before about the sweet creative writing class I took from author Brandon Sanderson. One of my writing group buddies from that class is starting/working on a really cool interactive fiction project. Basically, it’s a choose-your-own adventure requiring reader involvement to determine where the story will go next. My friend, the author, writes a couple of pages of the story, and then asks the readers to post what they think will happen next. Then, whichever idea gets the most votes, wins!

My wonderful brother Nick got me Starcraft 2 this last Christmas, with an auto-upgrade for Heart of the Swarm, which activated today. I may or may have not have been playing it for the last 2 hours. It’s been pretty fun so far. Pretty standard Starcraft gameplay, but you get to level up the main character, Kerrigan, making it a bit more of an RPG sort of thing.

Heyo readers. A second blog post! I’m going to be trying to post more often, especially because we might have to do one comic update a week here for a bit while life is hectic and uber-busy for our artists down in Argentina. Seba thinks he’ll be able to do two posts a week, but I thought I’d just let you know in advance we might not make the scheduled dates very well for the next couple of weeks.

So I haven’t just blogged recently. That’s probably because the most exciting thing going on for me is getting over a cold/flu and attending classes. That or seeing all the awesome artwork that our artists are doing. Seba is going forward very well with Chapter 2, and Matias is working on getting ahead in Chapter 3. He already has several awesome pages done, which I wish I could show you, but they wouldn’t make sense yet.
Anyways, I read today about an interesting new gaming console that should be coming out this summer. The OUYA (pronounched ooo-yeah, reminding me of the kool-aid man) is a completely open console running on Andrio and other such open source technologies.
