One A Day - On This Day in 2009

San Francisco CA Our Apartment

On this day in 2009 we had just gotten back from Nebraska and I wanted to take a photo of my new poker chips I had recently acquired. Foxy our cat wouldn't allow the photo to be taken without him. He was glad we were home and was determined to be in the photo. I now have a nice photo of a cat with some poker chips.

One A Day - Not really on this day

San Francisco CA Our Apartment

The other day Donna and I brewed the beer kit she got me for my birthday. We boiled up the wort and put it in Mr. Beer. It needs to sit for 2 weeks before it's bottled so we put the knitted mantis on it to protect it. We don't want anyone stealing our 2 gallons of beer before it's ready.

One A Day - On This Day in 2009

Sioux City Iowa Argosy Casino

On this day in 2009 I was in Nebraska for a family reunion and there was a place to play poker within driving distance. You know what that means right? Yea I hopped in the rental car as the reunion party died down and played a bit of poker. I like to get a poker chip from each casino I play at so on this night I added to my collection.

One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Orange CA Our House

On this day in 2004 we have an Italian Greyhound get together at our place. We originally called it an Italian Greyhound BBQ but we quickly figured out that could cause a misunderstanding. It's a lot of fun to watch 9 IGs zip around the house for an hour and then nap the rest of the day.

Austin TX 6th Street

On this day in 2002 I was in Texas for Sigraph. The show was in San Antonio but my friends were in Austin so we took a drive one evening. Ivan and I met Frank and Ala at one of the 6th street bars and the night began. It was a great night of conversation, memories, cocktails and steaks.

Los Angles CA Salami Sound Studios

On this day in 2003 I took my picture with Bender (John DiMaggio). He did a few voices for our Spawn game. It was fun to meet him and talk to him. He was pretty much exactly what you would expect from the voice of Bender.

San Francisco CA Ferry Building Farmer's Market

On this day Donna purchased some produce from Dirty Girl Produce at the Farmer's Market. We really like going there on Saturdays. The quality is great and you can get almost everything you need for a meal produced locally which is good.

On this day I saw one of the worst limos ever. Terrible! Now if they had stretched a Dodge Dart and added flames that would be a different story.

Irvine CA The Future Home of Point of View Inc.

On this day in 2003 we checked out the new office POV was moving to. It was actually the old EA Irvine building. The 3rd floor wasn't finished out when they left it for EA LA so we planned on making it our own. We ended up making it our own storage facility and workout area and it never got finished.

San Francisco CA Nob Hil

On this day in 2009 I got my new tripod and thought I would test it out on a foggy night. This is the intersection that I live very close to. The tracks in the foreground are for The Cable Cars. They aren't tracks that commuters ride on but spur tracks to get the cars to the California St. line.
