Farewell, 38.

So, I'm turning 39 tomorrow. 🎂 Reflecting on everything that happened in my personal and professional life. At 38, I married the love of my life, Érica. 🥰 I joined Ember Sword and haven't been happier professionally. 💼 My beautiful daughter, my second child, was born. 👶 And we have now moved into our dream house. 🏡 I'm excited to see what 39 has in store. 💪 Thank you to everyone who has in some way, shape, or form supported me, including those who also doubted and made things difficult. 🙏🏻 You fueled the fire inside of me that I knew was there, just buried inside for a long time. The wolf inside has been unleashed. 🐺

Soundtrack of the day for me today.

So I noticed that opie.blog was available and figured I’d register it in hopes to finally start blogging again. However, I’m not entirely sure yet about what I want to write about.

Do I want to write about a specific niche, and just focus on that?

Do I want to write about anything that comes to mind?

I’ll need to think on this. I can either make this a professional blog, writing about my work, or I can make it more personal and perhaps write about everything and also include work stuff.

I need to think on this. Until then, I’ll work on making this look presentable. Just glad I decided to stick with Tumblr, as I like it here and I have a few old posts on here already.

Damn, 10 years on Tumblr today!

I’d really love to know if it’s worth keeping my blog on Tumblr or not. I love the app, the interface, etc.

Just wondering how long it’s going to take for Automattic to redo the front page, because the huge advisory when visiting a site hosted here is a big turn off to visitors. :(

New owner of WarcraftMovies.com

I am so excited to announce that I am now the owner & administrator of WarcraftMovies.com & all its network sites. I used to work in this network fulltime back in 2008 after leaving Blizzard Entertainment. I had the privilege to work alongside Uzbeki (the original owner and founder of WCM) and Gedan. I loved every day spent working with these guys as well as on the network. Uzbeki and Gedan have shifted focus over the years to other projects and have moved on to building different successful businesses (Uzbeki) or have become CEOs of others (Gedan), including myself moving on to things such as Ensidia, own3D, and later Twitch. Over the years I have shown a lot of interest in taking over the project, and have had multiple conversations with Uzbeki and Gedan. And finally, the day has come and an agreement has been made. I am still speechless and so blessed to be entrusted with WCM's vast archive and, in a way, its legacy. I will ensure that the project continues to live on as well as breathe some new life into it. The transition period will take a little while, so be patient! However, what I will promise right now is that WCM will continue to be updated, developed, and so on. As well as the other websites (visible and/or not) will be returning, as well as any new potential websites for new games coming out. Even though I will be announcing very soon what my next career path is, I want to ensure you all that I will have time to focus on this as well. I want to thank Uzbeki and Gedan for taking a chance on me back in 2008. I want to specially thank Uzbeki, once again, for trusting me with the reigns. And to my wife for her full support, understanding how much this means to me and the time investment it will take to ensure I can deliver in my next career move as well as the owner of WCM and its network of sites. Now, to add to what I mentioned previously about my new career path, that announcement is coming very very soon. Perhaps even tomorrow. ;) Very exciting times ahead for me personally and professionally.
