I finally got sick of watching everyone else go to GDC without me, so here’s my goal: Save up $6000 to go to GDC 2013. I have a big note on my desktop that’ll continuously remind me of how much I have left to go and there’s also a progress bar on the side of the blog so people can nag me at IGDA meetups if I need to my act together and earn some more money :P
Can I do it? I don’t really know. Theoretically yes, but whether that turns out to be a practical yes, well, I guess I’ll find that out over the next 12 months.
Hopefully see you at the next GDC! :D

Good luck James – Go for it!
