One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Irvine CA 2004 Point of View Inc. Chuck's Office

On this day in 2004 Chuck was coming in to work early to paint a bomber jacket for his friend. They are both into old planes. I took progress pictures of it every few days. It turned out very nice.

This is a pretty early progress shot of it.

Irvine CA Toys R Us

On this day in 2004 I waited in line to buy a Nintendo DS. It was launch day so there was a lot of action at our local Toys R Us. It's a great system and still going strong. It will soon be replaced by a really cool 3-D version (not like the crappy Virtual Boy).

Irvine CA Tony's Car

On this day in 2004 we picked up the latest Grand Theft Auto and raced back to the office to play it. It's always fun to be around a bunch of gamers when a major release comes out. Oh on that note, go buy Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. It came out yesterday for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I worked on it.

On this day in 2004 POV was decorated for Halloween. There was a very modest skeleton on the wall.

On this day in 2004 Jon (not me) was feeling overworked so he created a system to help control the flow of work coming in.

Irvine CA Koki Teppan and Sushi

On this day in 2004 we went out to lunch as a group for a Co-Workers birthday. This is Mark who was the VP of Point of View Inc. at the time as well as my friend and mentor. Those were good times but the clock doesn't stop and things change. These are good times too so I am lucky to be able to transition from good times to good times.

Cabo San Lucas Mexico

On this day in 2004 we were still in Cabo San Lucas. We went for a long hot walk on the beach and I ran a head to take this photo of Donna. It felt like we were on the edge of the world with no one around us. It was a good vacation.

Cabo San Lucas Mexico

On this day in 2004 I was in Cabo San Lucas eating Lobster and drinking a beer. It was a very good day.

One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Irvine CA Point of View Inc.

On this day in 2004 we were doing a video shoot for a video game we were making. we wanted to splash the screen with "vomit" at a certain point in the game and so we decided to shoot fake vomit against a piece of plexi-glass with a green screen behind it. It worked pretty well but we didn't end up using it or even shipping the game for that matter. Here is me with an accordion like container with fake vomit in it. I was going to shoot it through a small hole in a green screen.



Here is the aftermath of one of the shots.


Tony, Steve and Jesse discuss how to make the effect better.

Take 2. this one needs to fill the screen!



Brian likes the method behind the madness


Here I am excited about a successful "vomit"

Orange CA Orange County Street Fair

On this day in 2004 we were at the Orange County Street Fair. It was the one fair we went to every year in Orange County. It was really cool back then but now that I know cities like San Francisco have one or more of these types of things every weekend it makes me sad that people in Orange County have to wait a year.

Orange CA


On this day in 2004 we received this flier with an interesting offer. Take a loot at it and see if you can see it. If you can't (or don't feel like playing along) scroll down for the answer.












0% off Birthday Party! What an amazing deal. Needless to say we booked our next 10 birthdays before they had a chance to retract the offer.

Orange CA


On this day in 2004 Donna and I found a few cool bike trails in Orange. We were riding them for the first time and we came across this little playground. I took a reflection picture. In the reflection you can see my very first digital camera.

Irvine CA

On this day in 2004 I saw a parked truck. There is nothing really strange about a parked truck until you see where it is parked. This truck is strangely parked. I wondered how it got like that. Was it a prank? Were they afraid the truck was going to be stolen?

On this day Tony and I went to the local snack mart and I snapped a shot on the way back. This may have been the first time I rode backwards on a skateboard and took a *picture.

*No photographers were hurt in the taking of this photo.

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.

Newport Beach CA

On this day in 2004 I went surfing and took pictures while Jon tried to talk to the fish. I don't think they were listening that day.

Newport Beach CA


On this day in 2004 I took my underwater camera out and took some photos while surfing. As you can tell from the photo, it was a pretty flat day so I mostly just took pictures and soaked up the salt water.

Irvine CA Point of View BBQ

On this day in 2004 we used a Storage Drive as a caster. It worked rather well and I am sure the BBQ was yummy.
