One A Day - On This Day in 2004

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.

One A Day - On This Day in 2004

San Jose CA GDC

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.

Spring in the medium sized diverse city

Spring has sprung and I had my camera (both of em) ready. I don't have much to to talk about so I will let my camera do the talking (along with the captions I put under the pictures).

San Francisco is one of the most lenient cites when it comes to prosecuting graffiti "artists" so even trucks end up with "art" on them. This one happens to be in China Town.

Donna and I went to one of the most famous Sci-Fi bookstores in the US. It's called Borderlands and it is cool. I don't really read but they have 3 hairless cats that look like aliens. This ones name is Ripley. He really liked me. The others are name Ash and Sly.

San Francisco is slowly getting rid of their newspaper vending machines in exchange for cool new ones. This seems to be where the old ones go to die. Newspaper Vending Machine Cemetery doesn't sound as scary as Pet Cemetery and it wasn't.

Here is a tree frog at the Science Academy.

Here is the cool Bio-Dome at the Academy.

The Academy features the latest in aquarium technology. You can walk through the aquarium tunnel.

Who says Photography is easy? I know it's not. It takes strong upper body strength. Sadly this kid was more impressed with my lens than his moms.

All the effort of holding Donna up in the cherry blossom tree with one arm really paid off I think.

The Sun Dial says it's Flower Time!

I told you Spring had sprung and it's springing all over the place in Golden Gate Park.

The Game Developers Conference comes to San Francisco once a year. All my friends from So-Cal come up to see me (and go to the conference). This is my friend Lea.

We hosted a big party at GDC. This is Matt. I work with him. The light makes his hair look purple but it's really more of a blueish color.

Cecil often gets the DJ gigs when it's a LucasArts party.

Well thats it for now but I have more pictures queued up. Check back soon.
