From 2007-2009, I was able to start an internet games company, run it as CEO, and then wind it down - with great collaborators and support from a broad range of folks. I wrote up the experience: A Story of GameLayers over the last eighteen months; adding tangible numbers and business documents. Hopefully this can be useful to other entrepreneurs!
Also I used it as an excuse to learn how to make an ebook: you can get A Story of GameLayers for the Kindle.
I can point you to the desert
It's a natural part of this path you're on
I don't plan on joining you there;
I have been recently and I am happy to be past it for now
I can tell you that inside the desert is some amazing springs
you won't find them until you wish you were dead
And you've lost all your precious things
What is your clothing now
Will become a blanket
And then it will all blow away
maybe you'll come out,
shaking sand from your hair
I hope you do.

Hi, I'm Justin Hall and this here is my personal web site, something I've been poking at since 1994. The content on the front page is relatively recent; if you search through the archives, you'll find old pieces of Justin. Recently I was CEO of an online games company GameLayers - now I'm a Producer working on mobile games with ngmoco! I'm an avid video gamer, primarily on the Xbox 360. Some kind folks have indexed my doings on Wikipedia. You can email me justin@bud.com!
