Blog: Thinking Outside the Box

I've finally added a blog to my site. I know, that sounds terrible... one would think all writers have blogs. The truth is, when you're so busy writing for others, it's hard to make the time to work on your own site! All blogs should have a niche. I considered doing a puzzle blog, or a writing blog, but I love both areas. So, I'll write for both areas, as long as the topics are fresh and helpful to others. I won't post for the sake of posting. My writing style and my content will follow my blog's title: Thinking Outside The Box

EA Mobile - Puzzle Development for phones April 2008 - EA Games released Merv Griffin's CrosswordsTM for mobile phones. I had the pleasure of creating the crossword puzzles for EA! As with any custom order, there were parameters to which I had to adhere, and a style I had to emulate to give mobile customers the same fun and exciting experience of the popular TV show "Merv Griffin's Crosswords".   See EA Mobile or the Merv Griffin Crosswords site for screenshots and information on how to download this highly popular crossword game to your mobile phone. Gaming Nexus reviews EA Mobile's Merv Griffin's CrosswordsTM As a puzzle developer, I find that no two projects are alike. Each has it's own challenges... puzzles in their own right! See my list of custom puzzle projects, or feel free to ask me about my job developing puzzles.
