Huge changes to this bad boy. I needed a more elegant landing paeg for the podcast episodes, so I went with a new WordPress template ( a premium one this time!) and I love it. Visually, I think it is striking when compared to the old look. It took me nearly all of Sunday morning…
You can find the book here. Now that I have a solid understanding of personal finance and economics, I wanted to go to the next level and understand a bit more about real estate investing. Before I was a programmer, I was a construction worker in New York, where we typically worked on high-end spaces…
I listened to the audiobook version, which is also narrated by the author, Steve Forbes, who is the EIC of Forbes Magazine, and grandson of the publication’s founder, B.C. Forbes, and was co-authored by Elizabeth Ames. I found the book to be a fantastic primer on to those of you looking to understand economics…
A thorough investigation behind Blade Runner Blade Runner has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it on DVD in 2000. I wasn’t born when it was initially in theatres, and still far too young to comprehend it during the 1992 re-release, yet despite it being 18 years old by the time…
You can find more of my brief book reviews on Goodreads. This is a short read (2.5 hours for the audiobook), and that’s a good thing. I say this because the author gets down to the basics, with practical examples, and along the way breaks down complicated terms into simple wordplay. The book is geared…
You can find my Good Reads profile and reviews of the books I have read, here. I’ve read all of the Hardcore Gaming 101 books up until this point, and after seeing this at last week’s Too Many Games festival, I had to grab this title. What I appreciate most is that the author goes…
This week is a bit different. I’ve got my co-worker in DC, Shahed Chowdhuri on the show, along with Pek Pongpaet (pong-pat) and Daniel Pesina. Shahed and Pek grew up together, and Pek met Daniel while studying at his Wushu. Daniel played Johnny Cage and ninjas Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Smoke, and Noob Saibot in several…
Link to the podcast I had the opportunity to speak with Chad Bostic of Hello Tech Pros last week and join him on his podcast and share my story. Chad has a number of interesting topics covered each week, including entrepreneurship, motivation, and productivity, but what I like most is that he gets the human…
@DaveVoyles I recently picked up a motorized desk after reading this review from Wirecutter . I wound up going with the Jarvis Standing Desk Frame ($525 at Amazon), then throwing a $29 IKEA Linmon table top on it. I also wanted to cover how I wired things up, to allow things to seamless transition between sitting…
This 1995 port of the game which originally appeared on the Sega Genesis and 32x isn’t fantastic, but it does have a great soundtrack! Listen as I give you an overview of the history behind the franchise and the various platforms it’s appeared on. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and game dev newsletter
