Throwback: Dream Doll Designer
Gardella and I played dolls together a lot as children, and we also had an obsession with creating a drawing families using genetics. Dream Doll Designer let us really have a good time by combining this creativity with our normal doll play. We loved this game – until we lost the CD-rom. Do you remember [...]
Read MoreSpotlight: Fresh Hues and Design Seeds
I love color. I’ve talked about this a few times, I’m sure, but today I want to share with you one of my absolute favorite blogs about color: Fresh Hues.
Read MoreThrowback: Kid Pix
I’ve been on a creativity kick with these throwbacks lately, and it’s continuing. Today’s program taught me a lot about drawing and graphics. Kid Pix was basically my first Photoshop.
Read MoreThrowback: Pit
When I was a kid, and we’d have family gatherings, there would be a time, after I was in bed, when the adults would sit downstairs at the kitchen table doing odd things. They would shout numbers at each other ”two, two” or “three, three” and trade off orange cards with strange pictures. Then someone [...]
Read MoreThrowback: Storybook Weaver
I barely remember playing today’s game, but I know I did all the time as a child. It’s such a throwback, I don’t expect any one of you to have used this great tool. However, without it, it’s hard to say if any of us would be the writers we are today. Thanks Storybook Weaver!

Read MoreThrowback Thursday: Seaquest DSV
Back in the day, when I was about 12, I was a bowler. Actually, the family was in a parent/child bowling league. I was on a team with Dad, Gardella with mom, and Dawn was too little so she sat in the back with toys. I averaged about 145 and my high game was 220. [...]
Read MoreThrowback Thursday: The Rankin/Bass Hobbit
The new Hobbit movie is marvelous, but this article isn’t about An Unexpected Journey. Instead, we’re taking you back in time to the version I grew up with. Maybe you remember this throwback: The Rankin/Bass animated Hobbit.
Read MoreWhy Not Wednesday: Write a Song
It you haven’t caught the themes lately, I’ve managed to write a number of posts that back-relate to Pi-Con. This may be the last one. For now. Dawn and I also seem to be on a music kick this week. Anyway, going to the songwriting workshop isn’t what inspired this post, but it did give [...]
