Anaheim CA Summerish 1999

This is me receiving my 10 year pin at Disneyland. I don't know exactly when it was taken but it was a cool picture so I thought I would share it.

Irvine CA 2005

This is Rob again looking menacing from behind his laptop. He's not mean, he just never wanted to be photographed by me smiling.

San Francisco China Town 2009

Here is a photo that makes me sad. It's a Space Invaders Arcade machine that has been abused. It was shoved in the corner at LiPo Lounge and you could not access it. I took this photo for when I start my "Stop Arcade Machine Abuse" special interest group.

Irvine CA 2006

This is Bryan (the one with the kittens). Bryan is a Nintendo fanboy. On 9/26/06 we received our first Nintendo Wii development kits and I gave him our first one. He opened it and savored the moment and of course I caught it on film.

One A Day - On this day in 2003

Carlsbad CA 2003
On Sept 20th 2003 Donna and I got to go to a grand event. It was the official grand opening of Sammy Studios Carlsbad. The building was beautiful and I have a feeling a ton of dough was spent on this party. Little did we know at the time that this studio in it's current form would be short lived. 2 years later Sammy bowed out of Carlsbad for a few reasons and Sammy Studios became High Moon Studios. High Moon is still around and you can go to their website to read about the 2 games that they have done since 2005.

Here is a scanned image from that wonderful day. Donna couldn't find any shoes that she liked so she bought white Vans and glued flowers on them. They were a hit!

San Francisco 2007 (The Presidio to be exact)

Wookiees win! Wookiees win! The first softball team I played on for LucasArts was Let The Wookiees Win. It was a fun team as you can see by our team picture. It was the ultimate beer league. The league actually provided a keg of beer.

Irvine California 2003
Here I am taking my hair on a date to Fat Burger in Irvine. When I was working at Point of View we went there every other week. Back then my hair did this thing where it would grow out from the sides and get really curly and look like Krusty The Clown and then it would get shaved off (not for charity) and start all over again.
