My Job: Online, Other

About Me:: Hello there! I'm just your average videogame enthusiast with a pipe dream of becoming a journalist some day. I'm working through my fourth year at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I'm studying philosophy and sociology, hosting a radio show, running around as an RC, and trying to figure how to break into the ol' Gaming Biz. Samples and sites I work for can be found on my website.

My specialties include RPGs, retro gaming and homebrew development (especially for the Nintendo DS and the Xbox), but I am willing to research and do almost anything. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Oh, and as for hobbies and the like, I enjoy computers, independent music (indie, hip hop, post rock, emotive hardcore), playing music, and writing when possible. Let me know if you're a fan of independent goodies as well.

What Wii Mod is Right for You?

I just started blogging over at a new website (MyWiiNews.com), and decided to make my first original post about something I love - Wii homebrew and mods. I looked up a handful of sweet case mods, skins, and other wonderful projects that use the Wii as a canvas and put it all together. I think it turned out pretty good, and is certainly worth a peek here.
