As long as I'm finally updating the News, I figured I'd take a few secs to update all of my nonexistent fans of the other updates in my life.... Logan is already 16 months old, walking, talking, and generally having a good time. Kira is still doing well as a Midwife at Park Nicollet. And Logan's new little brother is en route by stork, scheduled to plummet from the sky some time in late August.

I'm still working at Pixel Farm Interactive on a variety of interactive work ranging from websites to multi-player business games to CDROM's. During my free time, Kira & I are currently re-reading the entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan in order to have been through it all one more time before he releases the next and final book.

I'm also building 2 upright retro arcade cabinets in my basement. I'm nearly completed with the first of two I plan to make. The first, Metacab Jr., features an old P3 700Mhz with 19" vertical monitor, joystick, 3 buttons, and a rotary spinner. Feel free to check out my Metacab arcade blog for further details on my progress as I finish that up and move on to the full-sized Metacab which will have controls for two players, trackballs, etc etc. I'll also be helping provide all the technical services to my brother-in-law on a cabinet he'll begin soon, since he'll be giving me a hand with the carpentry on Metacab Sr.
