September 13th, 2009

Caught this little wonder running accross the floor in my BEDROOM… It’s a Hobo spider… Yeah they are not good.  The bites cause necrosis, just like a brown recluse bite.

July 22nd, 2009

Just to clarify things a bit…  Yes I am no longer working with Void Star but we parted ways very amicably.  Void Star is moving forward at a brisk pace and is working on some really awesome stuff.  Can’t wait to see what Drew comes up with.

New Things

July 21st, 2009

So today was the first day of my new job.  So far so good, but man am I beat.  I didn’t eat dinner untill 9:00 and that gave me a huge headache.  But I feel refreshed because I am going to be doing something new and exciting and learning a bunch of cool new things.  I like new things…

90mm Tilt / Shift Photos

July 16th, 2009

Here are some tilt/shift photos that I took last week down in San Fran.  The effect is achieved by the diliberate miss-use of a 90mm tilt/shift lens.

San Fran

July 16th, 2009

I drove down to San Fran this weekend to see some friends.. It was awesome.

Marke and I spent 4 days playing around with the 90mm Tilt/Shift lens I rented.  Hopefully some cool photos came out of it. It was awesome.

We met Rich at Pixar for lunch and a quick tour.  It was awesome.

Ate sushi with Steve, talked shop, caught up.  It was awesome.

The whole thing just made me miss all the people I worked with at Oddworld.  They are all so talented and fun to hang out with.   For some reason that group just really melded like no other I have worked with.

Red Faction

June 23rd, 2009

I recently finished playing Red Faction.  I quite enjoyed it.  The game made me feel like I was one of those professional demolitionists that you see dropping old buildings in Vegas.  I would take the time to find the buildings weak  points then plant the necessary charges to make it do what I wanted.. so much fun.  Also the Nano rifle is a freaking awesome weapon.  Sadly the demo for this game is pretty terrible.  But I think you should just skip that and get the game anyways.  Good Times.

My Contribution

June 23rd, 2009

The greatest thing someone can do in their lifetime is to nurture new life.  I don’t mean that people should go out and have a million kids, because over indulgence in reproducing your own DNA can actually be a drain on the system… I think.   I mean people should nurture life of all kinds.  Plant a flower, save a kitten from the pound, let the spider in your room lay its eggs.  Give things a chance to reproduce.  The system works best when it has as many chances to try new things as possible.  Since I am not that interested in having children of my own, my greatest contribution will probably be when I die.  Who knows how many lifeforms will benefit from the material that I will leave in the dirt.  But knowing the simple fact that my eventual death will help the system try out new configurations of life, gives me some piece of mind.  Who knows, maybe it could even be the genesis of some new wonderful species.

** EDIT  tho now that I think about it, the greatest thing people are doing for life on this planet is eating and pooping…  Just the simple act of recycling the biomass into nutient rich waste contibutes greatly to the system… And I suppose thats the beauty of the system.  Just the act of trying to survive makes the whole thing work.   So next time you clog a toilet don’t be embarresed, you just made a large contribution to life… ;)

So next time somebody asks me what the meaning of life is, I will smile and say:  The meaning of life is… Shit.

Socks

June 22nd, 2009

To have a clear mind you have to start with clean socks…

Ok acutally I have no idea about that.  But every once in awhile I like to just get rid of all my dingy, holey, missmatched white socks and then go out and buy three packs of new identical ones… This way I know nomatter which socks I grab in the morning I know that they will make a pair.  Ahhhh sweet bliss.
