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 or designing and printing 3d bits of plastic, you can find me snuggling up with my furry sidekick, Doggo McStuffin.
PixelatedDad - part-time stargazer, full-time dad, and an 8-bit gaming guru who's a few pixels short of a full sprite. Though I’ve traded reflexes for dad jokes and swapped late-night gaming marathons for stargazing sessions, I’m still young at heart, often found playing retro games older than my kids. My aim in first-person shooters is as questionable as a blindfolded monkey’s, but I’ve always got my sights set on saving both the pixelated princess and preserving the beauty of the night sky.
By day, I’m a proud husband, father, and geek wrangling my two sets of twins (#TwinsTwice), coding up a storm, taking pictures of the night sky, or advocating for dark skies free from light pollution. When the stars aren’t out, you can find me snuggled up with Doggo McStuffin, my trusty furry sidekick.
As for this website? It’s a mix of everything. Here, I blog about coding projects, share my thoughts on astronomy, review tech (and the occasional game), and sometimes just rant into the digital void. So whether you're here for the pixels or the planets, welcome aboard!
