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 life, personal and/or life:

    A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Mine honor is my life, both grow in one,
    Take honor from me, and my life is done.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
