My template seems to have exploded in the upgrade to the new version of wordpress, and is no longer supported, so I’m going to have to revert to another formatting until I can update the site with new stuff.  Speaking of new stuff…

A couple of weeks ago, we finally shipped the project I’ve been working on since incubation, the Avatar Editor on xbox.com.  This project involved several major hurdles, including integration with a system primarily designed for the Xbox 360 and making it available to ‘three screens’ (the third screen being Windows Phone 7), as well as coming up with a way to leverage 3D graphics in Silverlight, which doesn’t normally support it.  It’s been a great ride, and I’m proud to see it out and people enjoying it.

That said, I felt it was also time for a change.  The future of the Avatar Editor in good hands with the rest of my team, I’ve departed Xbox Live to join one of the internal MGS game studios called 343 Industries.  Looking at the world from a title perspective instead of a platform perspective is entirely different, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.
