Welcome

Hi. I’m Aaron. I design stuff. If you’re here, it means you probably went to check slickpixel.com. First of all, thanks for being interested. Unfortunately, SlickPixel had become stagnant. I felt that I needed to justify my presence on the web by having a site that was dynamic and actually had something to offer. A two year old, stale site wasn’t it.

I have been thinking a lot about what I want SlickPixel to become. I have some really big plans which, when mixed with procrastination and anal retentiveness, mean big timelines. Which brings us both here. The SlickPixel blog site. This site will offer more up to date content, and serve as a nice replacement until the new full SlickPixel site is completed.

I hope you enjoy, and if not, you can always visit my old site here.

The 6-1-9

Amanda and I just got back from a really fun weekend in San Diego. Amanda went out there for business so I tagged along for our first taste of the West Coast. The trip was well documented so there should be a video online soon, but for now I'll just mention the more memorable moments.

Highlights:
- The weather. Turns out California 60 degrees is much more comfortable than Virginia 60 degrees. I don't get it either.
- Morning jog around a new city with Amanda
- Relaxing on my butt all day Saturday
- All day Gray Line tour of San Diego, Coronado, La Jolla and Tijuana
- Two plus hours in line at the border was fun at times.
- Finding out what's in that little beat-up box suitcase that all pilots have. (Ask Amanda)

Lowlights:
- The weather. It was a California winter weekend. Windy and rainy.
- Glass elevators to the 20th floor.
- Tijuana
- Two plus hours in the line at the border was not fun at times.
- Missing flights
- Missing pets


All in all, a great weekend.

When I first read "6-1-9" I thought this was going to be a post about wrestling!

I have two highlights to add:
1. Finally getting to take Aaron on a business trip. Big Man, you make even business trips fun.
2. Napa Valley Grill. I had the pumpkin ravioli. It was awesome in a Carl Edwards kind of way.
