Beta version of HeroQuest released

I have created a brand new site to house my computer game HeroQuest:

I’ve just released a beta version today, so stop by the new site to get it!

(For those of you who played the demo, you’ll want to get the beta version – all 14 quests are now in the game, as is the ability to save your progress in between quests!)

HeroQuest demo now available!

After over a year of on-and-off programming, I now have a demo of my computer game HeroQuest available for people to test.

Head over to my HeroQuest page for the download link and some screenshots.

Hopefully, the full version will be available in a couple of months.

I would love to hear comments from people who try it out!

The Pillow Astronaut

I came across a fascinating blog of a woman who is a subject in a NASA study.  She has to lay in a bed that is tilted back 6 degrees for 90 DAYS.  It’s one thing to bed-ridden for 3 months, but to be tilted back the whole time?!  Wow.  The study results will help NASA understand what happens to the body after long periods of weightlessness, and how astronauts can deal with it for long term missions, such as the long-way-off trip to Mars.

I encourage you to check out her blog, it’s really interesting: http://pillownaut.blogspot.com/

Fox News article on the study.
