I did the SPUDMAN triathlon last Saturday in Burley Idaho. I did ok on the bike (25 miles), but I swam really slowly (1 mile) and then didn't have anything left in me for the 6 mile (10k) run.
This photo shows me sprinting against some other guy for the finish line...I beat him by 0.2 seconds to come in....176th place

We need some coders to make Math games for Woogi World. You can make some good spending money for minimal effort!

Let me introduce you to my newest pal on Newgrounds.
He's a little grumpy when you first meet him, but once you get to know him you'll find him to be one of the most loyal villains you've ever gotten to know.
For a long time (almost 3 years) I've wanted to make a game with him as the star.
Does he have a family? Children? What drove him to his life as the best video game mini boss in history?
Can you answer these questions? Can anyone? Well?

I'm here at the NG office watching Pico day submissions on the NG wall.
Everyone is here...except you! :-P
Unfortunately, I've got a work deadline that was dropped on me last minute and I've had to work through my entire visit. In fact I've got my laptop set up right now while I work away.
It's a bit of a buzzkill, but oh well.
I'll make a more in-depth post when I'm back home.
For now, HAPPY PICO DAY and HAPPY B-DAY TOM!

I survived my triathlon. It was called "The Vineman" and was "Sprint" distance.
It was a really fun experience, and I discovered a lot of things I need to improve on for the Olympic distance tri (double sprint distance) I have scheduled for the end of July...mostly I need to focus on running and swimming.
Next week I'm heading to Philly for the big Pico Day celebration.
I'll see YOU there!

One week until my first triathlon, the Vineman. Swim 400 meters, bike 9 miles, run 5k (3.1 miles).
I tested out my wetsuit today for the 1st time, in a local FREEZING cold lake. I'm mostly scared of the swim, I really suck at swimming...especially in open water.
Looking forward to going to Philly for Pico Day.
Swimming got me in touch with the Kevin Bacon day joke I did with Luis.

The game that I started 3 years ago with I-Mockery and Poxpower is slowly being resurrected!
I don't want to give away too much, but it's setting out the be the ultimate tribute to the NES. You take on the unlikely role of a NES villain who has to fight his way through all the best NES games to rescue his son.
Along the way, pretty much every character from the NES pokes his or her head in, mostly in settings in which they were never originally intended to appear. The gameplay and cutscenes are ridiculously over-the-top.
The sheer size of this game will blow the keys off your keyboard and it's shaping up to be really fun to boot. We're trying to do this game up right and hope it turns out to be a real crowd pleaser...something you'd normally expect on a console instead of in flash.
Here's a screenshot of the level I'm currently messing with.

Luis, Mike, and I shared a room in San Francisco this weekend.
Mike peed on his I-phone because it fell in the urinal he was using while texting.
My intestines exploded in AlmightyHans' apartment.
JackSmack scared many short asians with his gigantism.
I saw the fabled "Bearded Glaiel."
In the course of an hour, Jmtb02 planned 197 meta games based on the ironies of Flash.
Brad Bourne showed off Fancy Pants 3...he can swim in this one.
Zeebarf's new partner Steve looks like he's 17 yrs old.
Mike texted "Hired by Kongregate, may not come back" to Tom who was in Philly.
FGS was ok too.

Here are some updates on what I'm up to:
1. Chibi Knight is in the running for a monthly cash prize on Kongregate, rate it with their star-rating system if you'd like to help out: http://www.kongregate.com/games/BoMToo ns/chibi-knight - Thanks!
2. Klondike Campout - I'm one of the leaders for the local Boy Scout troop and we're going snow camping next weekend to learn some survival skills. I've been watching Bear Grylls and Survivorman and camping in my front room to practice. I bought a Leatherman and a -20 degree sleeping bag.
3. FGS - I'm meeting up with Luis and Mike in San Francisco for the Flash Gaming Summit. There are a couple Newgrounders in the running for prizes and it's always fun to chill out with people from the scene.
4. Triathlons - I'm doing the "Vineman" sprint triathlon in Santa Rosa as a warm-up for the big "Spudman" triathlon in Idaho in July. I've been running (blech) and biking my heart out to train for both. I plan to start mixing in some swimming soon.
5. I hope to make a visit out to the Newgrounds office this summer to chill with everyone and work on something with Luis.
