As some of you may know, I was a Flash designer for Circuit City during the past 2 1/2 years, and was laid off last month when Circuit began liquidating. Don't worry - I'll be fine!

I am in the process of finishing an article on the subject, but I have to put my focus elsewhere for the moment (Finishing a contract). So expect an article from me within a week or so.

Until then, a talented former coworker of mine wrote about the Circuit City liquidation / layoffs for Richmond BizSense. You can read her article here.

Greetings!

Well, I forced myself to write an article, and this is what happened.

Trust me, they'll get better as I get back into practice!

My goal from now on is to create at least one article and one Flash project per month (Some Flash projects will take longer than that but hey. We'll see how it goes.) Currently, writing articles is like pulling teeth, but I still occasionally get excited about programming and animation. If I keep to my schedule, we can expect another article and a Flash game within the next month. I won't put the rest of my to-do list up here, but I have a lot planned. I just have to keep the momentum and not procrastinate.

Hello, all!

Once again, I neglect my site for over a year... Looks like I haven't written anything since last January.

I do have plans to get back into the website this year, and I also have plans for a redesign (I'll have to reformat every page using CSS - fun). For now, here's a game to keep you occupied. I didn't make it specifically for this site, but it should do fine.

So hey, not a lot of time to write, but I'll try to be back soon.

-Michael
