My life and times
Well, it’s been a whirlwind few days I tell ya.
I’ve been very busy helping the Salisbury’s get acclimated to Central Florida living. The good news is they found a house, and the even better news is that it’s pretty close to us. They’re about 2 miles away, right near the High School, in [...]
Well - I was sure looking forward to the launch today. Too bad it got scrubbed. The buffet lunch with the astronaut was great.
My friend Brian and his family arrived into town tonight from Utah. He is our new art director at FIEA and I’m really looking forward to working with Brian [...]
Well, I made it to LA in one piece. I hitched a ride down to the airport with the inlaws, who happened to be leaving at almost the same time - my how convenient. I really don’t like traveling by myself, but never fear, I got on the plane with about 10 guys [...]
Well, finally making some headway at work. Got some pretty stuff in the game that made people go oooooh and aaaaaah so that’s always fun. Honestly, it’s the part of my job I’ll miss the most. I’m now integrating my work with the rest of the team, so here’s where programs [...]
Had another good day at the conference, and made plenty more contacts for the UCF work ahead.
I went to dinner down at Fisherman’s Wharf with my old Tiburon boss, Greg. We took the cable car there and back, and had a great time. On the way back, Thorsten called me and invited me [...]
As expected, seeing lots of friends and catching up at GDC. This is my first time ever “working” a booth, so that’s been a new experience - for those of you that don’t know me, trying to be social with people I don’t know is not one of my strong points (unless you talk [...]
Been organizing my pictures today and found this gem for you. This was taken on my parent’s dock while the gangs were all here in October. Here’s hoping that this year, Chandler and Jim come for a visit, in addition to Dave and Rich! My fall break will be October 3 - [...]
Finally, I’m off work and now I can start sitting around playing games for 2 weeks. Whew!!!
My friend JD from Washington came into town yesterday - he and his girlfriend went to Disney World today and we met up for dinner afterwards. We went over to Oveido to Bill’s Elbow, one of our [...]
Well, I’ve talked to most of you about this already, but I thought I’d write it down so it’s part of history.
The NFL exclusive for Madden is clearly exciting for us here, but for me personally, it’s kind of tempered by knowing I have friends in the industry it affects in a negative [...]
Hey Jim got a new blog. He’s neat, let’s hope he keeps it up.
My World of Warcraft 10 day trial runs out tomorrow at 7pm ET. Luckily, I’ve purchased a new copy, but in true Chandler style, I can’t install it until I “use up” the 10 day trial. What a freak.
The email from Andrew has prompted me to get back in touch with a couple friends from that era, who I know would be interested to know I had heard from him. Since I’ve seen Bill Mandel several times since then, it was probably no big deal when he heard from me, but I [...]
I got here extra early this morning because my boss was supposed to bring donuts. Not only donuts, but Krispy Kremes. Real ones, not Albertson’s ones. And then he didn’t get here until just now, 9:45 am. And I got up all early and everything! GRRRRRRR
I heard from a *really* [...]
Well, good news everyone. After only mucking with this thing for about 100 hours, I finally got the formatting setup right, with a color scheme I’m happy with. Feel free to give me feedback on what you think of it.
I talked to Bob today, and he interviewed for a job with a company [...]
