PixelatedDad, the 8-bit gaming guru who's a few pixels short of a full sprite. Despite my age, I'm still young at heart and can often be found playing games that are older than my kids. I've got the reflexes of a sloth and the aim of a blindfolded monkey, but that doesn't stop me from trying to save the pixelated princess.
Meet the ultimate multitasker - Pixelated princess saver, Husband, Geek, and proud Dad! When I'm not busy wrangling my two sets of twins (yep #TwinsTwice) or coding away on my computer, taking pictures of the night sky, designing and printing 3D bits of plastic, advising on cyber security, or promoting mental health awareness, you can find me snuggling up with my furry sidekick, Doggo McStuffin.
What's this website for exactly, I hear you ask? (I made that last bit up, I'm not really listening to you) but it's just a place for me to write, blog, test code, share, review, vent, and relieve myself (careful there!)
