The Epic Tale of Lights and Why You Should Turn Them Off!

Chapter 1: The Bright Idea (Literally) Once upon a time, way before you could flip a switch and light up a room, people had to use fire. That’s right—if you wanted to...

Welcome to PixelatedDad – the home of a part-time stargazer, full-time dad, and self-proclaimed 8-bit gaming guru who’s a few pixels short of a full sprite. Life may have replaced my late-night gaming marathons with stargazing sessions and my reflexes with dad jokes, but my passion for retro games older than my kids still burns bright. While my aim in first-person shooters might rival that of a blindfolded monkey, my focus is crystal clear: saving pixelated princesses and protecting the beauty of our natural night skies.

By day, I’m a husband, father, and geek extraordinaire, juggling life with two sets of twins (#TwinsTwice), writing code, and capturing the wonders of the universe with what some might call too many telescopes. As a Dark Sky Ambassador, I’m dedicated to advocating for reduced light pollution and helping others rediscover the magic of a truly starry sky. When the stars are hiding, you’ll find me tinkering with gadgets, reviewing tech, or snuggled up with my trusty sidekick, Doggo McStuffin.
