Tuesday, 11th of September 2007 at 06:21:25 PMSorry I have been absent from posting lately but it has been a hectic couple of weeks. After the Labor Day weekend, I went up to Austin to visit a client at the Austin Game Developers Conference. That was very interesting to say the least. I let my inner geek shine while wearing my BarCamp Houston tee-shirt, which caught everyone’s eye. Gotta love the swag.
There are lots and lots of new games on the horizon, plenty of Flash and other casual game development along with the usual MMO and FPS stuff. The venture capital community was also buzzing aroung looking for the next big thing. Some really nice guys and some others that were a bit lost in the haze.
While I was in Austin, I had the chance to meet up with Bryan Menell of Austin Startup. Bryan is a very cool guy that shares the same vision that Kurt and I do in developing a stronger community for tech startups, only in the Austin area. He covers IT, web, software, energy, biotech and so much more. I added his site to the blogroll so check it out.
This week will also be a little lite for me for two reasons. The Jewish High Holidays start tomorrow night and I was diagnosed with Shingles this morning. I am trying to decide which will be less enjoyable for me: fasting in services all day wearing a suit and tie in 100 degree heat or the continual shooting headaches I currently have.
Kurt and I are working behind the scenes to make some interesting changes to the site so keep on coming by.
