I started as a Nintendo fanboy who learned to platform in the pipes of Mario before I even learned how to read. I started questing in the green tunic of Link and never looked back. Since breaking out of my Nintendo mold, I now appreciate what Sony and Microsoft offer as well.

Beyond gaming, I am completely obsessed with all new tech, check my email compulsively and spend hours of my day absorbing more than 30 podcasts and over 50 RSS feeds.

This blog was created first as a project for my Web design course in college but has since expanded into a wealth of content that I like to add to whenever I get a chance to catch up on posting my findings on the Web. The blog never quite made up it’s mind as to what it was about, and I have split attention to two other projects while this remains my “melting pot” blog, so I hope you appreciate the content as it changes throughout my archives.

DISCLAIMER: I currently work at a video game publisher, but I will not post anything about my company’s products or latest work unless I explicitly state at the top of the post that it is something from my employer–don’t think I am trying to deceive you.

Enjoy my cave here at ugachaka.net and feel free to contact me by sending me an email to jacob [at] ugachaka.net
