A year ago this month, Napoleon's (a local pen and paper game shop) closed it's doors. It was a store that was around for almost my entire life, one that my old elementary school was across the street from, and I would walk past it nearly every day going to and from school. At one point in it's history, it [...]

I recently bought a nice DVD Burner (it's just amazing how cheap these drives are now) and one of the first things that I did with it was create a DVD video disc that contains the three movies that are on this site.

I currently use Windows XP running on an Athlon XP 2000 machine with 1GB of RAM that I built two years ago. Surprisingly, this computer has aged pretty well considering all the new stuff that's out there today. I want to upgrade it at some point soon since the motherboard in this machine can take a higher-clocked CPU than the [...]

I currently not working on any large-scale projects, but I am working on a lot of short character animations. I'm also trying to get more into Blender as well since that is what I hope to create for my next major project. This is a short list of things that I would like to do: More animated movies with the [...]

Welcome to MarchTwenty.com! This is the fifth, and very blue, version of my personal website. As well, it hosts my animations and my many 3D images and my various website designs. This site began many years ago through a free Roadrunner web hosting service that grew into the site that you see here today. The reason that the site so [...]
