To Play Requires Trust and Love

2024 and Beyond

Wow, I’m Getting Married!

2023 was an incredible year for me if only for the fact that I proposed, and in 2024 I get to have a huge party where everyone celebrates me (us). I’m incredibly excited to marry my best friend and life partner.

Even better, we’re doing it at the San Diego Zoo; there’s literally a safari with rhinos, giraffes, herds of antelope, wildebeest behind the ceremony! And if all goes according to plan, I’ll get in a few rounds of golf at Torrey Pines along the way.

Little Holly’s Little Game

This started as a simple test project comparing the use of Unity, Unreal, and Godot, but I’ve had fun building it out. Holly (our dog) sits by my feet while I worked on it. I used Gimp to draw Holly and Mary, and Unreal for the project development.

Coming to Android/iOS soon!

When the Family Gathers

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter and Rosalyn Carter started an organization called “The Friendship Force” which organized adult exchange programs across the world with the goal of increasing understanding and friendship between different countries, cultures. My Grandmother, Beverlie Reilman, was an extremely active member and wrote this cookbook – a compilation of family recipes from other members around the world. Every week of the year, the cookbook has a different set of recipes for a holiday celebrated by a country/people “when the family [would] gather”.

I’ve wanted to do this for some time, and this year I’m working my way through the cookbook (Julie and Julia style) in a cultural journey in honor of my Grandma. I’ll share updates and recipes along the way!
