Me

Welcome! I'm Jani, one of the founders of XIHA Life. I've been a professional game programmer for over 15 years. I used to live in the US and work for EA and the legendary Westwood Studios in Las Vegas. In the summer of 2006 I decided enough is enough and started XIHA Life together with my girlfriend, Wen.

I married Wen in January 2007, and our first baby was born on December 21, 2007! Today my life consists of running the newly founded XIHA Ltd., in Finland and spending time with my family.

Check my blog and photo albums to learn more about me, my family and XIHA.

Fei's first piano sonata!Jani
2008-07-8 - Fei, you are a Mozart in making! I remember we let you check out the piano several months ago when you were a little baby but your little hands were not strong enough to even make a sound. All we could do was "walk" along the keys but you were not really excited about that... I guess the strong sound of piano at that time was kind of scary.

Well, things have obviously changed quite a bit! Two days ago when mom was playing you were showing ...

360 degrees!2008-06-28 - Boy, you're on fire these days! Just as you learned to say "mbah", you took us by a surprise when you suddenly flipped around from belly to back couple days ago. Until now you've mastered the back-to-belly manouver for quite some time but never have I even seen you attempt the other way around. However, now it seems both ways happen at ease, so you can change the position as will.

You're also pretty good at sitting. We mostly sit up in th...

Ba ba ba ba2008-06-24 - Wow, Fei! Just as you turned six months you learned a new exciting skill - using consonants! Until now everything you've said has pretty much been "Aaa" or "Eee", but now we're suddenly getting a lot of "MmmBababaa..." as if you're trying to figure out whether to say "Mama" or "Papa" first!

Earlier on you were really interested in listening to talking and carefully watched my mouth in order to figure out how I do it. Somehow for the past ...

Awww.

That's wonderful. Are you considering starting him learning a new language from an early age.

I have considered doing this with my son, Adrian as it seems it will be very beneficial in years to come and help him appreciate the diversity of the world.

So does he sleep through the night most nights?
Adrian has struggled in the past but usually prefers to settle on his own.

Is he your first?
sheridan1991Sheridan (2008-07-20)
Your baby is very cute.

I have a son of my own who is 13 months and already walks very confidently.

How old is your baby?

Has he said any word yet?

Hello. Thank you for the response to my anti-American rant. I was really in a mood that day apparently! Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to travel to other countries, except Mexico, so my view is a bit skewed. After I published it, I was afraid I might get alot of negative response, but only got one or two responses besides yours, and they weren't negative, so that was good. I'm enjoying your site here- it is so much more than just the games, which is what brought me here. Nice surprise. I love meeting and communicating with people from other cultures- pretty fascinating. And that you reward people for blogging and using other features is a great idea- gets people to open up and contribute to the site. Sometimes just a little incentive is what's needed. That's nice that you share the pics of your family. We all love babies and like to watch them grow. I'm sure you'll do well here. Thank you.

Hi Jani, good idea with the flowers, there is also another thing I want to tell you. I first found this place becouse I wanted to buy the virtuall villagers 3, and it said it's possible with bankgiro. I live in sweden and ordered it but the bank is in finland so I couldn't buy it . Trying to find the answer I read this site more carefully and liked it so I signed up tp earn coins for it instead. but still try to do something so we in sweden can buy games aswell. not every internet banks support money transfer to another country.

Hei Jani!

Kiitokset tästä mielettömän hienosta sivusta, tai voisin sanoa paikasta kuuluvat varmaankin sinulle

Tuli vaan mieleen yks kysymys myös: huomasin, että sinulle on monta blogia (Fei's blog on niin ihana:D!) ja itse en onnistunut löytämään konstia, millä voisin tehdä itselleni myös useampia. Sillä aloitin äskettäin yhden englannin-kielisen, mutta olisi mukavaa aloittaa pari muutakin suomeksi, unkariksi ja ranskaksi, eri teemoista Sull on varmaan joku ihan helppo ja nopea neuvo...olisin itsekkin varmaan huomannut sen jossain vaiheessa, mutta ajattelin kirjoittaa sinulle!

Ihanaa kevättä koko teidän perheelle (kirjoittaa tyyppi joka on itsekkin "kansainvälisestä" perheestä ja on aina nauttinut siitä)!

T. Anna

I thought that you have been to Mainland China and have the chinese weeding. Thus, you can understand chinese characters.
I can write the chinese spelling to you.(I,as a chinese teacher, can teach students chinese characters).Also, for foreign students.

Answering to his question of the blog, Jani, I do not know Shenzhen. You yes, it must be fabulous!. This it is something of that one that still I did not visit, and one day me would like to do it. How I obtained the material?. From since my mother gave it to me, she is an architect, and she took part of a seminar recounted to the topic of " the current construction in China ". They must be very impressive all these buildings constructed so nearby some of others, where the human scale gets lost.
