So, as you can see it's been a while since I've posted. I logged in the other day as I was updating various online profiles and claiming the domain www.ryanchanges.com and realized, "Wow, the last time I blogged was around the World Cup."

Realizing that was an issue, I wanted to take some time tonight as I relax in bed watching some League of Legends streams and let you know I'm still alive and well. I've just been pretty busy! Which has been great for me, to say the least.

I recently returned from a two week stint back home in Virginia. It was great to see family and old friends (no really, they are all older than me) during the holidays. I can honestly say that those two weeks went a long way in refreshing my mindset, which has allowed me to start off 2015 strong!

Before that, I was busy with the typical Fall/Autumn stuff; sweaters, Halloween, and eating way too much candy. I also was able to enjoy Thanksgiving with family later on down the road. There I ate too much food and watched a ton of football. Are you sensing a theme here? I like to eat.

That's really the Reader's Digest version of what's been going on since I last blogged. Work has been going strong and San Francisco is still a great place to be! Now let's talk about what's coming up that I'm particularly excited for...

First off, let's dive back in to football. The New England Patriots are set to play against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend in the AFC Championship Game. I really, really, really would like it if the Patriots won. If you know me, you know why. If not, well if it isn't clear yet, I'm a big fan. Big fan. So let's go TB#12 and crew and get that W this weekend!

Next up for me is actually PAX South! After being able to attend PAX Prime this Fall (oh yeah, that happened!) I was interested in going back. Luckily, this time work is sending me! That's right, not only is Gameloft sending me, but I'll be speaking on a panel about Mobile Streaming on Twitch. I'm pretty excited to say the least. It is neat because to me, at least, it feels like the work I have done qualifies me as someone knowledgeable in my field and people are interested in what I have to say on this topic. It's very humbling, nerve-wracking, and exciting all at the same time! If you will be at PAX South, you can hit up this link to see more information on the panel. Hope to see you there!

With all that said, I bid you all a good night! I'm going to finish the second Hobbit movie now and probably fall asleep with my glasses on my head. Note to self: Don't do that. Until the next entry (which should be sooner)!
