Where are they now? (Cassie & Jason’s Party 2007)

I posted some pics earlier of the group I used to party with ages ago. This year I actually attended a party that Cassie and Jason hosted that had, well, a lot of the same people (Meredith wasn’t there, otherwise it would have been a complete reunion 😉 These were taken on my old Motorola …

A big one? Snack Time, WoW iPhone, WoW Addiction

Uh-oh – This Could Be A Big One So, yesterday I get an email from a major game publisher.  Basic message:  What are you working on these days?  Give us a call. When it comes to game development, I’m in an odd position.  I’ve been around long enough to start acting like an old timer …

This is some really old crap that I ran across

Wayback Machine, Work Attack!, World of Warcraft

Set the WayBack Machine to pre-2000 Well, I uploaded a set of pictures that should rekindle some memories for a couple of people.  Like OLD OLD photos.  Ok, well, about 8 years old, just guessing though.  One of those photos makes me intensly sad – it’s a picture of me standing up with a muscle …

Messin’ With PhotoBooth

Installed OS X 10.5 and discovered PhotoBooth… and since I had a new toy, I had to play with it 🙂

Heheheh – I love my iPhone!

But I don’t LOVE my iPhone. Just so we’ve covered that. I’m watching Tammy’s house while she’s outta town for two days. No Internet access here (gorgeous house, and no ‘Net access or CableTV. Some people have different priorities I suppose – plus she has an iPhone so most things she needs can be done …

Multiply Works Right, The Wedding (Part 1 of 2)

Multiply Works Right I’m sorry, MySpace, I found a new love.  She’s much cleaner, and plays well with others.  Don’t worry, I won’t forget you, but, I’ll be spending a little more time with my Multiply account instead. Ok, overly dramatic.  But I have to admit – I really like Multiply after I started playing …

Heather & Nick’s Wedding!

Pictures from Heather & Nick’s wedding, and some events before and after the wedding. These were taken with my iPhone, which is NOT the first choice in cameras for low-light or moving pictures (I love the iPhone, but it’s camera sucks.)

Digging way back into the past – one of the many parties hosted at the house!

MidnightMoo takes over IronForge!

(OK, mainly uploaded this because it was the first thing I had close at hand to see how Multiply’s uploader worked.) Back before the Burning Crusade, getting into IronForge wasn’t easy for a level 60 Horde player – it took some work. This isn’t a level 60 character – this is a level 30 Tauren …

Wake up Cat

Hehehe – a must watch for cat owners

Hi everyone!

OK, two things to know: 1)  I have more than one blog for personal stuff (I also use a business blog or two to drive site traffic to the business stuff).  If you run across my profile on MySpace… it’s the same damned stuff.  I just cut & paste ’em ;-)  (OK, the MySpace account …

Expansion Part II, Equipment, A Day Off, Workout, Damned Good Commercial!

Expansion Part II So, after mentioning the idea of expanion, the next night Lance says basically “Hey, I wanna quit what I’m doing and come work with you.”  I was caught off guard by this – I’ve always had a plan in mind for eventually getting Lance involved (if he wanted too) at both a …

Work, Equiptment, Organization, Not repeating the past, and what the fuck was that?!

Slowly… All the equipment is showing up, basically one piece at a time. Tripods (gotta return one though – it’s damaged), the Beachtek (basically converts a camera from the crappy as input to nice dual XLR inputs for real mics), the mics and XLR cables, the mini-tripod (which is a rediculously small thing, but, try …

Impending death, She’s getting married?!, and Quality of life, Equiptment!

Impending Death Monday I had lunch with my ex-father in law and his girlfriend (they’ve been together for something like 17 years, IIRC), and they gave me the bad news. Death is bad enough.  It’s a spectre that we all live under – someday, we all die, and we all know it.  But knowing when …
