Softech Alliance Meeting!

Today Jonathan, Dan and I went to Caboto Club so that we could enjoy the networking opportunity brought on by SOFTECH ALLIANCE! It's essentially a group formed around the idea of bringing more tech. jobs to Windsor, and we were graciously invited by Dr. Aggarwal from CS @ UWin. Aww! 

We were, literally, the youngest people in the room. We were like "WTF" because everyone there was 30+ We assumed "Hey! Technology? Gotta be some young peoples in hurr," we were so wrong - but in the end it worked out super awesome for us. We were wandering around, looking for a table to sit at, and we finally chose one with "space." Turns out we sat with IBM. XD Go go awesome sense of direction! 

We hung out with the two execs from IBM, one of which was the key-note speaker for the event. Luckily, they were all "ZOMG you guys make games?!" And we were like "YESPLZ!" Business cards went flying, dinner was good, met some nice people, all in all, I'd say that today was pretty good.

Dr. Aggarwal wants to talk to us about becoming a part of this group and sitting on a committee - AWESOME! I can't wait to see what comes of this.

What kinds of games would you want to play online?

Unfortunate Realities

I wish I was at GDC right about now. I hate being a student with no cash. UGH.

We're Going to Look Back and Laugh One Day

I wanted to share the reality of an internet startup. I think that it would be really healthy for all of you budding entrepreneurs.

52 Stairs actually started in a loft in Hamilton, Ont., and once Jonathan and Dan moved back to Windsor they shacked up @Jonathan's. So that means that Jonathan and I are now situated in Jonathan's sister's old room - complete with beautiful Rose flowered wallpaper and a Roccoco mirror. At least we now have a window ^_^ !!

It's okay guys, we're taking the Bill Gates approach.

Is it weird that I think he looks kind of hot in this picture? He's just so playful.

New Shirts!

Getting back to business, I was trying to get Jonathan and Dan to go to GDC 09 Vancouver this May - but it seems as though 52 Stairs will not be able to make it. Dummer! There's always next year, I guess. At the very least, at this time next year I maybe able to make it myself! Awesome.

I don't really have any earth shattering news, except that we got company tshirts! Thanks Mr. Wagner :)

In other news: I'm forgoing my arts administration certificate because it would be a waste of time and money. I'll update with more relevant info later XD
