jmac.org site updates
Updates to the main jmac.org website don't happen very often, these days. I update my blogs and podcasts far more frequently.

I have moved, and this reminded me that it was time to update my vCard. I have jettisoned all the old Volity Games-related contact info, replacing it with Appleseed's. Time marches on.
Also put a new admonition on the contact page, apologizing for not being the fellow - also named Jason McIntosh, also involved in the digital games industry - who wrote some popular articles about tile-based computer graphics many years ago. I still get mail that was meant for him. Someday, I'll get around to meeting him, myself...

Been getting a lot of calls from tech recruiters, so I updated my About page and my Résumé page to better reflect what I'm doing for a living lately.
I also note that jmac.org's now being hosted on a commercial server for the first time in its nigh-decade of existence. All this time before then, it was passed around from one charitable friend with internet-service connections to the next. But hosting has become so inexpensive now that there remained no reason to finally do it right.

I am pleased to announce the public debut of my latest professional identity, Appleseed Software Consulting LLC. Web and graphic design by Rob Oliver, who was also behind Volity's website and branding efforts.
The website is pretty spare right now; there are at least two major sections, including a new blog, which aren't ready yet. But the remainder makes for a fine public web presence, and so up it goes today.
Yes, the domain name is a little fiddly, but what can you do? I also nabbed appleseedsc.com and appleseedsofwareconsulting.com, but I figure that the version with the hypen in it looks best in print. It's what's going on the business cards.

Updated my games page with a list of my Internet game-console identities. It's strange to think that when I first wrote that webpage I thought my original Sony Playsation was cutting-edge.

Allow me to engage in a bit of self-promotion for my freelance web programming work.
April 2
Rewrote the front page, and updated my résumé to reflect the fact that I've been an independent software contractor since last fall and am open to taking on new contracts.
Both of the podcasts' archives have moved to blip.tv, because it rocks. Their homepages are still on this domain (and linked to from the sidebar), but see also http://thegameshelf.blip.tv and http://jmacsarcade.blip.tv.

I've launched a new video podcast called Jmac's Arcade. It is also about games but it is very different from the Gameshelf.

The Gameshelf's homepage got a makeover. I also finished knitting together the fourth episode, shot way back at the end of 2005, and you can watch it right on that page through the magic of Google Video.
Relatedly, added a "Podcasts" section to the sidebar over there on the right. Hmm, I wonder why it's plural.

Threw together a personal Nintendo DS fanpage. It includes my various Nintendo WiFi friend codes, as well as links to DS stuff I find interesting.
January 29
I made a site about my Animal Crossing: Wild World experiences, including an illustrated guide to conducting an agitprop campaign within that game.
