If you're very lucky, in this life you'll be a part of three families: the family you're born into, the family you choose, and the family that chooses you (friends). Be thankful for all of them.
Today’s quote comes from Rita Levi-Montalcini who, in 1986, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of Nerve Growth Factors (NGF).
“Do not think of yourself, think of others. Think of the future that awaits you, think about what you can do and do not fear anything.”
“The true test of a warrior is how your 'stance' holds up after any 'circumstance'. Meaning, even after the stormiest weather, a true warrior will still reflect the brilliant rays of the magnificent sun through both his or her eyes. You may get hit by sudden lightning or take severe beatings from the cruel wind, but you will always get back up and stand strong on your feet again, soak in the sunlight, and be prepared to get hit by even the most merciless hail - time and time again.”

I hope your insurance treats you fairly and more can be done to prevent this from happening again. And you working with someone on a video game is great news. I love the developmental side of game design(when it isn’t corrupted by incompetent management) and would love to hear details on the game when they are available.
For the longest time I thought this was under the radar intentionally but I noticed when he and I were talking on Skype, he now is on YouTube showing the game we've both been working on. It's name is Pig Tail and if you like I'll post up a link to that video but I know for a fact it's Select Zone screen is different now because a new one has been made by me, he likes. Everything you see in the video is still what he's put in. The guy is really multi-talented. I'm about to start testing soon a game he wants to release named Chronos. Back to the development notes. I proposed a villain that impressed him so much it's going to be used as one of Pig Tail's bosses. Picture 3D dulled down to a homage to 16-bit, a tornado of bones with a wolf-like skull at it's highest point.
Is everybody ready for Saint Patrick's day? I remember in school being pinched real hard if you forgot your green. Then one year I got the bright idea of telling people my eyes were green. People claimed that didn't count and that was cheating. I don't think it was.
