Does anyone have any good tips for creating a professional online presence? Trying to launch my game Dev career with at the moment such a minimal portfolio.

Authors I Admire
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” — J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
Conan Doyle (LOC)
Oh there must be so many I would choose from - though dinner with the deceased may become more awkward than fascinating. Inanimacy aside, I would probably rank Homer,...
A Great Place for Stargazing
There’s something magical about the stars. So distant, yet when in sight I feel so much closer to home.
Starry Sky with Trees
I moved to Toronto about 8 years ago from my home Nova Scotia (Oh how I miss the Atlantic). I still try to go back whenever I can. I must say, despite all the interesting times and experiences I have had here, I have never liked Toronto. I...

My Childhood Idols
It’s a good feeling, isn’t it? The warmth you get when you have a young friend, and he (or she) looks up to you like an older sibling. A superhero. We all do when we are young, and the bond you feel when it is returned is quite amazing.
For the most part I didn’t hold any idol of my own for many years, but rather the other way around. We were close with our neighbors, in more...

The Zombies Are Here!
What should you do in the event of a zombie apocalypse?
Brains…..
Look tasty. Kidding.
1) Get out my Zombie Survival Kit (http://www.zombiehub.com/zombie-survival-kit.html)
People, this requires you to pack yours in advance of the event, but if not you can still use this checklist as a guide for quickly grabbing the essentials. I like to include two very important...

A Strong Voice
This has to be one of my favourite books of all time. It is not any fast-paced adventure by any means, or full of insane twists at every chapter - but the stylings and the story itself are absolutely captivating.
Take a look at these two videos to peak your curiosity:

What Keeps Me Up at Night
Velcro straps. Darn you Newton, I’ll sleep on the ceiling if I want to.

When I realized I was a grown-up
Many men question the moment they became a “man”. That elusive transition every boy must make at some point. Whether you notice it right away, look back at your teen years and realize when, or have no clue when it happened, the fact is that it did. Probably for the better (though I’d argue Adulthood is generally over-rated). For me, I didn’t notice it right away. Nor...
Three overplayed songs I love anyway
Music is my only addiction. An addiction nonetheless, and we all need to feed our fix, be it music, coffee, or books.

I wasn't that impressed with New York City
New York City.
The busy hub of excitement for some, the rush of adventure for others. I went there about a year ago, and was bored. I live in Toronto (don’t really like it either), I couldn’t care what big city I’m in. It was just that to me, another city. What are people so fascinated with? I even went to see ground zero as well. Sure, it would of sucked to have...

Wee!
Not posting, Internet break. Just chill, things will come later. Just needed some time away (and a bit longer still) before my brain melts.

Sweatshop Union - Moose (Water Street)
Welcome!
I’ve never tried this Tumblr thing before, but I thought I’d give it a try upon the advice of someone else. My normal site is on xanga, which can be found in here: http://chasms-of-the-mind.xanga.com/ (thinking of updating it’s look, but I need to find something that fits nicely). I’ll keep this account up to date too, whatever goes on my Xanga will likely be found...
