Some of you may or may not know, but I am co-leading the Central Texas XNA User Group
along with <a href="http://www.timgthomas.com/" target="_blank">Tim Thomas</a>. 
Thanks to Tim’s hard work, we now have a revamped website!  Check it out and
let us know what you think.
</p>
        <h5>About the user group:
</h5>
        <p>
The Central Texas XNA (CTXNA) User Group was started back in April of 2009 as a community
effort to learn more about game development, focusing on the <a href="http://creators.xna.com/" target="_blank">XNA</a> tools
provided by Microsoft.  XNA is a great way to get started with 2D, 3D game and
general graphics development and provides a wealth of helper and utility classes to
do a lot of the common work that you would have to write your own classes and wrappers
for if you were working directly in DirectX.  The CTXNA user group meets every
first Tuesday of the month in room 101 of the Davidson building on the campus of the <a href="http://www.umhb.edu/" target="_blank">University
of Mary-Hardin Baylor</a> in Belton, TX.  If you’re interested in game development
(at any skill level), especially development using XNA, you’re invited to join us! 
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 3rd at 6:30pm.  We usually get
there between 6:00 and 6:30 for a meet &amp; greet time if you like to be early.

Well folks, I’m giving it another go.  I have replaced my old website with a
new blogging engine (dasBlog) and am going to try one more time to be extraverted
:)  Wish me luck!
