Starting a new game is so weird. I spent the last 17 years in a custom engine learning all its quirks and oddities. Today's off-the-shelf tools are amazingly powerful, but have an entirely new set of quirks and oddities to learn. 😜

I’m in Santa Barbara for the week, and we were lucky enough to get an incredible view of the SpaceX launch tonight. The slight fog made for an incredible view once the sunlight was hitting it from beyond the horizon.

I get interrupted a lot by kids while working-from-home. I just found code I hadn't checked in... I figured I should clean it up before checking it in... But I found that the cleanup was already done! I just don't remember doing it.... Thanks, Friendly-Coding-Ghost! 🙂
