			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2011 has been an incredible year in the stuff-making business.  I&#8217;ve had opportunities to work on all kinds of interesting projects this year, and for that I am very thankful.</p>
<p>This includes&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>A new iPad book with Crab Hill Press
<li>A hybrid game for both mobile devices &#038; desktop browsers
<li>2 author sites for Random House
<li>A newsletter generating site for a technology consulting company
<li>A website for comedian Kathleen Madigan
<li>And several smaller brochure sites
</ul>
<p>And as the year ends, quite a few major projects are just finishing up. That includes a large-ish hospital website and a very exciting scavenger hunt website &#038; app.  Maybe in this coming year I&#8217;ll manage to make good on my promise from this time last year: to add to the library of silly games that exist for no reason other than to amuse me. Time will tell.</p>
<p>No two projects are the same. No two clients are the same. And I feel deeply privileged to have worked with every single one  of you.  Cheers, everyone, and here&#8217;s to a great 2012.</p>

<p>Honk your horns and wave tiny American and Dutch flags! Nash Smasher has received praise from the fine folks at the New York Times in the form of their end-of-year list of great kids&#8217; apps for the iPad. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/28/the-best-childrens-books-on-the-ipad/">LINK</a>. You read it. I can&#8217;t bare to do so myself.</p>
<p>Did I mention that this is the New York Times? I think I did, but it bears repeating because it&#8217;s a fun name to drop.</p>
<p>Congrats to Troy, Bill, and Rachel!</p>

<p>I grew up the son of a commercial artist, so I understand when people say that what we do is a &#8220;lumpy&#8221; business. By that they mean that work comes along all at once or not at all. In the last few years, I guess you could say that it would be more accurate to describe development as a &#8220;chunky&#8221; business.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve brought the old games back and started work on a redesign to focus entirely on development projects. The process is going to take some time, though, since I&#8217;m doing this between the various &#8220;chunks&#8221; of paid work.</p>
