Recent photos: kids being adorable and a tea table

I promised my wonderful mother-in-law that I would talk about the boys more often around here. I cannot disappoint her! The results would be devastating. So, to appease all the masses interested in seeing the kids, I felt the need to highlight a couple of recent photos here. Here’s a great shot the wife took […]

New Flash drawing: Green Monster

As part of my new draw and/or write every day, I’ve created this green monster. I started off simple, but then kept adding layers and lighter shades of green, and I couldn’t stop. I think there’s about 7 different green hues on that monstrosity (appropriate term!), but I like how it turned out. I might […]

Because someone asked…

No, as much as I enjoy it, Twitter most definitely does NOT constitute “writing.” On a related note: as I ramp up my creative practices, I really need to slow down that particular practice. No offense to my fellow Twitterers, but it is irresponsibly siphoning away time that is better spent on more productive efforts.

I demand creativity from myself

It’s an adage as old as the practice of writing itself: if you want to be a good writer, you have to write every day. The same advice works for artists. I want to be a good writer. I also would love to be a good artist/designer. Let’s face it, I just want to be […]

Wow – traffic skyrockets due to incessant blathering

So, evidently my post on the potential Wii RPGs of 2008 is number 1 on Google in searches for “wii rpgs“. What does this mean? My traffic has been steadily increasing over the past month to the point where I’m about to break my previous attendance record. Pretty phenomenal for a silly little personal blog […]

PlayIt, ReviewIt is LIVE!

I guess Siraris is ready to let the proverbial cat out of the proverbial bag with the official launch of his brainchild, PlayItReviewIt. I’ve got a handful of Wii game reviews out there, one of which is currently a front-page “featured review”, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I guess this […]

Rearrangementations

It was spring cleaning today on the Nerdflood blog. I moved a lot of stuff around on the sidebars because I wasn’t liking the arrangement. There was more stuff I wanted to add, and things that needed removing. I cleaned up my “Find Me Online” list to only show places where I actually currently tend […]

Mario Kart Wii: pre-ordered

There are two things I never do: I never shop at GameStop I never pre-order games. Today, I did both of those things. I feel a little ashamed of this fact, which is probably why I feel the need to confess my sin openly. The gist of it is that GameStop has a marginally good […]

New quick Flash drawing: Motorcycle Man

I drew this today. Not really sure why, he just popped into my head and wouldn’t go away until I entered him into my palette. I’m really wanting a Wacom these days. Until then, I make do. I might toss a few more creations into the dusty old Comicspace in the next few days, more […]

Mommy is the best (of course)

I love to mention how amazing my wife is in all appropriate regards, and this situation is no different. She called me earlier today to say that son number 2 (who barely slept at all last night due to a hacking, barking cough) was obviously sick. More than likely some respiratory flu of some sort. […]
