About Me
Benjamin S. Hall - Software Engineer, Writer, Rock Star, Samurai, Grandfather...
I have been a technologist for over 25 years.
In that time I have worked for media companies, startups, and large corporations. I have built software for the web, mobile devices, and desktop applications. I have also written fictional stories, articles, and blog posts.
I am passionate about technology and writing, and I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow.
In my free time, I enjoy writing fiction, practicing martial arts, playing guitar, and hiking.
But most of my time is spent working on tools and technology ideas - that I hope to share with you in my Blog.

Purpose
The purpose of this site is to share my thoughts, ideas, and projects with the world - and to serve as a place that I can reference when I need to remember something I was working on.
As time goes by I hope to have a ton of material that you can learn from and that I can use when I need a reminder of how to do something.
Current Efforts
Here are some of the things I am currently working on:
g20 Gaming.net
https://g20gaming.net is a tabletop RPG game system developed by Greg Harter and Ben Hall. It is a rules-light system that is designed to be easy to learn and play, while still providing a rich and immersive gaming experience.
It's an alternative system to Dungeions and Dragons, and many who play it claim it to be BETTER than D&D. (I agree, but I'm a little biased).
Fantasy Trove Designs
https://www.fantasytrove.com/. My wife Julie Hall makes Custom Jewelry. I helped her to build this e-commerce site for her work. It's built on Shopify, and I have done a lot of custom development to make it work the way she wants it to.
Julie Hall has been featured in cosplay magazines and won awards for her designs. She is a talented artist and I am proud to be able to help her with her business.
