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.

Halloween in Richmond

Our first Halloween in the city. We bought 300 pieces of candy. That's 11 pounds. Two gi-normous bags from Costco. We had zero trick-or-treaters. None.

This may be partly due to the fact that we left during prime trick-or-treating time with Daisy to walk around The Fan and see the costumes and decorated houses. (Probably not, though. Our block was pretty dead even before that.) We went to the blocks that were closed off so people could just walk everywhere. I think it was called the Haunted Hanover Mansion or something like that. It was pretty insane to see. I should have taken the camera but my favorite costume was the guy dressed up like a Facebook friend invitation (complete with functional 'Confirm' and 'Ignore' buttons that lit up when pressed). And my favorite house decoration were the guys that re-created the scene from Dark Knight with the Joker on top of a huge pile of flaming cash.

It was really fun, but for heaven's sake, help us eat this leftover candy.
