Handy Vandal's Almanac“Thanks for the work you have done to help me better understand the inner workings of worldcraft, and the the utilities that could make my early, more budding career in level design more fruitful.”

I recently received this generous praise from D:

Dear Handy Vandal,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your efforts in what you have done, and what you have strived to do on the almanac. this is corny, but you have really really inspired me (since an early age, gosh!) in many ways to try to break into the game industry based on what you’ve shown.

I designed a new logo today for the Handy Vandal’s Almanac:

Handy Vandal's Almanac Logo

For the uninitiated: I used to be the Handy Vandal, celebrated for my Almanac — a collection of tutorials and links for Half-Life developers.

The Almanac has been sitting dormant for several years. Today I went on a housecleaning binge — fixed some code bugs, culled some dead links, and so on. (If I’m going to leave the thing dormant, I at least want to leave it relatively tidy.) In the course of all that, I got inspired to create the new logo.

There’s an alternate version in the Half-Life 2 section.
