About Blue Rocket Designs

Blue Rocket Designs was created a LONG time ago as a portfolio site for me, Tony Amburgey. The name came from a toy pencil topper I had as a kid (pictured below). The site has been through many iterations. It's been html-based, flash-based, and wordpress based. I've hosted flash games/apps, a portfolio of my paintings, and briefly a blog. This time I'm sharing a smaller, curated look at a few things I've made.
