I spent the first hour or two of the day over at the Career Pavilion chatting it up with a few more companies, namely Activision (well known), Telltale Games (Sam & ... http://www.shaioren.net/gdc-thursday-friday My first day at my first GDC ever and it's been good. Let's rewind a bit. I arrived in San Francisco at 8:40pm last night, hopped on the BART (that's Bay Area Rapid Transit, which is to say, it's the subway type train) and made it to downtown SF near ... http://www.shaioren.net/gdc-wednesday My sister, Galit, got married today to a strapping young gentleman, Benjamin. I've already given them more congratulations than I think they want, but you know... it just feels good. So, congratulations, mazal tov. Now that's done, I'm looking forward to GDC, the Game Developer's Conference, which starts tomorrow. I'll be ... http://www.shaioren.net/busy-day-busy-week I'm slowly updating my site to add more content. So far, you can view (and sometimes download) some of the projects I've worked on in the past. Also, a listing of projects I'm currently involved with. I'll likely add my resume up here somewhere, and then I think that will be ... http://www.shaioren.net/site-updates So, I've been busy with holidays and such, but I graduated from DigiPen last December!

I decided to take the optional final in one of my classes. Update3: Internship Post Mortem too. http://www.shaioren.net/getting-close I just got home from a 4 day stay in Leavenworth, Washington. A friend of mine got married last night and it was quite the party. A quick ceremony, great food, hours and hours of dancing made it pretty much awesome. This was the first wedding that I've ever attended ... http://www.shaioren.net/weddings Now that I know I successfully completed GAM 400, I'm searching for an internship (or part time job) in the games industry for the fall. There are a number of companies in the area, and I have at least one friend/acquaintance at most of them. Hopefully I'll find something soon. http://www.shaioren.net/internships I completed summer semester as well as I could've hoped for. I got an A in my CS300 class (that's my second 4.0 so far, but the other one was from an art class, drawing to be exact.) Also, I was doing an independent study for GAM400, so I completed ... http://www.shaioren.net/at-summers-end I finally decided to break out the camera that I had won at a company party and take a few pictures with it.
