On this day in 2005 Tony and I rode our skateboards to the local liquor store and I saw this. I took a picture not knowing that this guy was going to be a big part of my future. Fulfill your destiny.....

On this day in 2005 I signed Ben, Lisa and Jake into Disneyland and hung out with them for a while. You can tell Ben and Jake are related by their hats.

Orange CA Our House
On this day in 2007 I got my offer letter from LucasArts. I didn't know what was in the box so I opened it slowly and took pictures.
It was a LucasFilm Timbuk2 bag. I didn't know that Timbuk2 was all the rage in bags in San Francisco until I moved up. They turned out to be all the rage.

On this day in 2008 I got my new camera. The Canon 5-D. The first picture I took with it was Donna. The 2nd was beer taps in a bar. I was very happy about being able to shoot in low light conditions and still am.

On this day in 2004.......Epic Fail was in the air. Everyone saw it but no one did anything about it. 4 years later Apple did it right and the rest is history.

On this day in 2004 Bryan was at GDC to show off his new Nintendo DS game he had been working on. I met up with him for a bit and we took this photo for fun. He isn't a teen anymore and already knows how to program.

Irvine CA Point of View Inc.
On this day in 2007 I was retrieving my arcade games from my former employer. Luckily Rob had a truck and offered to help get them to my house. It was a sad day but many of the adventures you have read about on this blog would have never have happened if that day didn't set them in motion. There can be good in everything, you just have to find it.

Look what I saw today!
San Francisco CA Mount Davidson
Today we climbed to the tallest place in The City. Mount Davidson stands 928ft. above sea level and is the highest natural place in The City. They say it is in about the geographic center of The City so you can get a nice 360 degree view. As you may be able to tell, it has recently become a goal of ours to scale all of the peaks in San Francisco. There are 44 named hills or peaks in San Francisco and we hope to get them all over the course of the next year. It should make a really nice blog when we are done.

Costa Mesa CA Wing Nutts
On this day in 2005 Tony, Gary, Carlos and myself went to Wing Nuts. It was one of our favorite places to go for lunch. They had a promotion where if you bought enough wings over time you could get a plaque on the wall. Well we didn't buy enough wings but it was fun trying....

San Francisco CA Tank Hill Park
Today we decided to climb Mount Sutro. It was on my list of things to do this year. On the way down we found Tank Hill Park. It had amazing views and a few rocks to stand on. It's 650 Ft. above sea level and looks down over pretty much the whole city. This is me doing my impression of the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil. You can see The Golden Gate Bridge just below my right hand.

On this day in 2006 Tony and I called up Jeff to see if he could do some voice over work for us for the poker game. Jeff excitedly said yes. Payment was a credit in the game and lunch at Chili's. It was a good deal for everyone.

On this day in 2006 we continued to pimp our garden. Tom really liked the sun warmed bag of wood chips. I felt bad asking him to get up so we could spread them out.

Los Angeles CA Keith Arem Studios
On this day we did voice recording for our poker video game. Erin Ness was one of the pros so we had to get her voice. She was a lot of fun to work with. After the session we took the obligatory "point at the screen" press photos.

Irvine CA Some Random Store with Poker Stuff
On this day in 2004 we were enjoying the start of the poker boom. Everywhere you looked there was poker. The fact that poker was everywhere fed the poker boom. I am looking forward to the next poker boom when the government finally figures out how much money they can make regulating it.

On this day in 2004 I had fun with my underwater camera. Thankfully I didn't catch any surprise sharks in the background. That would have freaked me out.

On this day in 2006 we had a fence put up to separate our garden from the rest of our backyard to keep the dogs out. It's a nice redwood fence. I miss our garden as you can probably tell from my recent posts. One day we will be back to enjoy it.

On this day in 2004 Donna took her new bike out for a spin and I rode along side taking pictures. Our neighborhood (in Orange) doesn't have any hills but when you hold your camera crooked it makes it look like you are riding down hill.

Orange CA Our House
On this day in 2005 the Dodge Dart went into deep storage. It needed some work and I needed something more reliable. We have a second garage in Orange (which is 2 more than we have in San Francisco) so we put it in the garage and hoped to fix it up one day to drive on Sundays. Our move to San Francisco changed our plans and we sold it when we moved up here.

San Francisco CA Union and Fillmore
Today I had to leave work a little early. I wanted to pick up some flowers and chocolates for Donna to remind her how much she likes me (not that she would be able to forget). I was standing at the bus stop with a bunch of flowers and a bag filled with chocolate and saw this intersection lit nicely. It was a bit of a struggle to get the camera out of my backpack but it was worth it. Oh and did I mention how many looks you get carrying flowers and chocolates in The Cow Hollow District? You get a lot! I guess Marina guys don't have time to buy flowers and chocolates.

On this day in 2003 Josh learned how to play Robotron: 2084. It's a lot tougher than most of the games he is used to playing. He enjoyed it. He also enjoys playing the Mario Brothers Machine. Sadly these machines don't fit in our apartment in San Francisco so they are sitting in a storage unit in Santa Ana.

Milpitas CA Midway Home Entertainment (old Atari Games Headquarters)
On this day in 2003 we took a road trip while at GDC. We were on our way to the airport and decided to take a bit of extra time to check out the recently closed Atari Headquarters. I took a few pictures but not near enough. There were a few trucks and a cool hedge that spelled out Atari but that was about it.

On this day in 2005 I felt the need to take a picture of myself in my new PartyPoker hat. PartyPoker gave you player points when you played. They didn't have very cool things to buy with the points so I bought this stylish hat. Those were the good old days of online poker.

On this day in 2003 Donna and I were in Florida with a few friends. We stopped by Islands of Adventure on the way in. It was pretty cool. Lots of neat comic book stuff and a really cool Dr. Seuss area. If you are in the area I suggest you stop by.
