Personal Life

Blow lives in a hilltop condo overlooking the San Francisco Bay area and drives a Tesla Roadster electric sports car to his office.

Blow practices tai chi, kung fu, and possesses many books on Eastern philosophy in his home. He has said all of these have fed into his game design process.

Blow is friends with fellow independent game developer Chris Hecker.

Blow also gives away a portion of his income to the most cost-effective poverty relief charities as a member of Giving What We Can, an international society for the promotion of poverty relief.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
