Weekly review: Week ending July 31, 2015
Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly
It was a great week for personal milestones. As it turns out, living one day at a time eventually adds up. Whee!
Also, I made a few nifty prototypes for work. It was fun playing around with different ideas and seeing what was possible. I'm looking forward to seeing what the team does with the new tools, and modifying the tools based on their feedback.
A bit of thinking and writing about time, too. And lots of Borderlands 2 with W-, of course. We're near the end of the first playthrough. Looking forward to this last mission!
