It can be pretty difficult to wrap your head around the concept of matrix transformations. To debug matrix differences across web browsers, I made a nifty matrix sandbox page to play around with the numbers and see the effects in realtime. Just drag the sliders around and see what happens to the square in the middle.

A while back I needed to demonstrate how Flash's WMODE settings behave across all platforms and browsers. Instead of trying to explain it in words, I made a standalone test page that illustrates several key concepts.

I am officially announcing adamia-3d, a user-friendly and fast (for Javascript) 3D engine written entirely in Javascript (no Flash whatsoever).

It's time for round 2 of my random game reviews! I've played a number of games in the last several months, and I hope my impressions are useful to somebody.

Today we became the proud owners of a brand new MSI Wind ultra-portable notebook PC. Also known as the U100, the Wind is MSI's alternative to the pricier Asus EEE PC.

I've been playing video games much more frequently since moving to San Diego and starting a career as a game developer.

I don't feel like writing lengthy reviews of most games, so sticking to batches of mini-reviews seems like the best idea. I do not claim that my reviews are original; I just guarantee that they are honest and as unbiased as I can pull off.
