Last week was the Games for Health conference in Boston and I’d like to thank Ben Sawyer and his crew for making it such a wonderful event.
As part of the show I did an interview with Dave Graveline, who has a great radio voice. We discusses some of the things I do and how they relate to Games for Health. For more information, clink on the link above or right here to visit the page.

Got a promotional heads-up from one of my old advertisers about a Guitar Hero 5 contest that is going on from now until June 22nd. Basically you can test your GH5 trivia knowledge and win concert tickets for you and your friends! Click here to visit their site.
Good luck, and I hope you do better than my friends and I at Quaker Steak & Lube trivia nights 😉 (Thought we rocked some 1 VS 100 the other night on the Xbox 360)
We’re back with an all-new podcast!
In this episode we discuss why the Castlevania movie probably got deep-sixed, impressions of the stuff shown at E3 and finally we talk about the life cycle of the Xbox 360.
Enjoy!
Did you know I also design my own furniture?
Behold SUPER DESK! Routed from 1.5 sheets of 3/4″ birch veneer plywood, it is the pinnacle of 21st century desk engineering. It easily comes apart into pieces making moving a snap! For more pics and info click below.
While building this I wondered “Would anyone buy Benheck-designed furniture?” The parts could be routed, shipped to the customer with the plans, and they could sand, stain and assemble in the comfort of their own homes.Something like this would probably be around $300+shipping. Crazy idea? Good idea? Let me know!
Want the plans? Here they are, go nuts!
In other news, I realize there has been a lack of updates lately. This is because I am moving across town, getting ready for Games for Health in Boston, building 2 new Xbox 360 laptops, a new C64 laptop using the 1541-III Ultimate, and finally a new Pelican case Xbox 360 as well. We’re planning to record new podcasts this weekend so keep your shorts on, OK?
A few weeks ago I was in Burbak for the Jace Hall show and the episode is now complete. It was a fun interview, very goofy and off-the-wall, which was nice for a change!
Click here to watch the full episode – enjoy!
A bunch of us went and saw the new Star Trek movie on Sunday. I think there were around 10 of us, which is kind of a large number of people to get to go see a movie at once, especially Star Trek. Maybe Paramount has less to worry about with its “mass appeal” than it thought!
Something special about this movie is that you can tell within just a few minutes that it’s gonna be good. It reminded me of the first time I saw the Matrix, Agent Smith says “No Lieutenant, your men are already dead…” or more appropriately the beginning of Finding Nemo, where the movie’s barely started, a mass fish egg genocide has occurred and you’re already feeling an emotional attachment to the characters.
My short review is that it kicked ass, with only a few quibbles. For a longer review and better reasons to see it, read on below!
I have uploaded the original Adobe Illustrator design files used to create the projects in my books. Take a look at them by clicking here, they are on the main section of the book page.
You can use these to modify the designs, improve them (hey it was going on 5 years ago) or just to see how my layout evolves for a project. Enjoy…
