Yet another social network…

August 23rd, 2010

I’ve liked being a part of CG Society. I’ve not been super involved with the facebook sprawl of the past few years, but I do have an account.

The Rise of Hex at Pop Culture Hound

June 9th, 2010

I was just interviewed by the folks at Pop Culture Hound about the development of Ben 10: The Rise of Hex.

I love it when things I enjoy are released as games … especially when they’re good. So you can imagine my excitement when Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise Of Hex popped up as a new download on Xbox Live Arcade. I’ve been playing the game quite a lot lately (much to my wife’s dismay), so I thought it would be good idea to talk with Black Lantern Studios’ Matt Raithel (the Director and Game Designer behind Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex) to find out a little bit more about the game’s origins and what challenges they experienced along the way. I’ll be reviewing the game shortly, but if you haven’t played it yet then I highly recommend it. Chris J. Thompson

Ruby on Rails, a framework for Ruby written by the dudes at …
37signals who keep a decent blog…

Signal vs Noise which hold a decent post about …
