I did that too.
Getting 30 really soon. It's... scary. I always wanted to have children by the time I reached around 34-35 but I haven't found the right person yet.
I'm getting a degree in Multimedia Technology (programming, scenario, design, 2d/3d animations, computer graphics, movies, sound editing, flash, etc.) and it's pretty great so far. I have a mandatory conference with a writer from Funcom Montreal next Wednesday. I hope it's interesting!
Next year I should start posting some 3d stuff here. Maybe Ziroc will be able to give me some tricks to get me ahead of class.
How about you Mouse? I'm sure you didn't spend all that time just getting older.
