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:

    Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided.... No personal considerations should stand in the way of performing a duty.
    Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885)

    There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.
    Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
