The other day Susan abandoned me and the kids at the mall and mentioned we could get Gem’s ear’s pierced (becuase at the moment Gem was melting because I wouldn’t buy her yellow flip flops at the gap). After it was mentioned there was nothing stopping this little girl. She was pretty proud she didn’t cry—that kid is one tough cookie.
My Brave Little Daughter
May 24th, 2010Life with a Mustache
May 9th, 2010At work a couple of the designers and I decided that we would grow beards and then on May 5th cut them to mustaches for “Cinco de Mustache”. And it went as planned. Four or five of us had some nice mustaches. Well May 6TH came and everyone was back to clean faces or stubble, but I decided to keep the stache. And then the next day and the next and here I am now stroking my mustache and thinking why I don’t I do this more frequently.
Leaked Iron Man 2 Clip
May 7th, 2010Gotcha! Ha! That’s what I thought when I say this spoof. Pretty smart if you ask me.
I am excited to see Iron Man 2, though I think Theo is even more so (though he won’t be seeing it anytime soon). I printed out a poster of Iron man a couple of months ago (because I’m a geek like that), and Theo has really gravitated to it. Susan said the other day while at the gas station he kept pointing at the Iron Man advertisement saying something over and over, and then she finally figured out he was saying “iron man”. The show would probably be right up his alley. The other day he came into the bedroom while I was putting my socks on and with his pajama sleeve pointed it at me (his hand drawn in so it made a large barrel) and proceeded to “shoot me”. I guess us boys are just drawn to futuristic gadgets and weaponry.
Salt Films
April 30th, 2010Yesterday’s little letter from Steve Jobs where he confessed his hatred towards flash (like we didn’t already know that) was a bit of a blow to my confidence in the future of flash (at least at the chance of seeing it on the iPhone and iPad). The most troubling part will be a large amount of consumers will read it and believe “hook line and sinker” every word Steve wrote, and I’m not saying he was wrong or incorrect on everything he said (he pointed out some valid points), but flash is a hugh part of the inter web and yes there are new standards and methods to author creative content that are open source, but as some one who is neck deep in the industry there are some things better done with flash. Which brings me to the real purpose of my post today.
I found this site today and it made me smile. I didn’t really dig too deep into the content, but if you pop over you’ll see what I mean. Salt Films.
Some Good Trails
April 20th, 2010Today I stumbled across this video and couldn’t believe how well filmed it was (make me wanna pull my bike out of the garage and pump up the tires). I had a mission companion while serving in Taiwan who seriously loved riding his bike, and I imagine this is how he rides now-a-days.
