Long Overdue Post

Filed under: General — chaser @ 11:00 am

So after much asking of when’s your next post, here it is.

I’ve been pretty busy the past few months working, etc so I haven’t had much time to write recently.

Here’s the basic rundown on what’s been going on.

Work for a good 80% of the time. Release deadlines were coming up soon so I’d been mostly doing work.

Palantir Ski Trip: Tiff and I went up to Tahoe with the company and got in a couple days of snowboarding (I got in 2 days, Tiff bruised herself a bit the first day and took the 2nd day off). It was a pretty awesome time, props to the ops team for stocking the 5 cabins so well.

Palantir Wine Trip: Tiff and I again went up for a day of wine tasting with the company. Again with the drinking.

Palantir Warriors Game: My first bball game. Fun, but I thought it would have been noisier. Maybe it’s because the Warriors got knocked out of the playoffs. I did get some free fried chicken things since they scored over 100.

Yoga: Tiff and I are trying out the yoga place down the street from my work. They currently have an introductory thing where it’s $40 for 30 days of unlimited yoga. Bikram is very warm and causes much sweating. Bringing a frozen drink is recommended!

Photography: I gave in and got a dslr. The small and least expensive Nikon D40 is now my tool of learning. It’s now also armed with the moderately expensive Nikkor 18-200 VR lens. Now all I need is a flash and I’ll probably be set for a while.

Entertainment: Jdramas have been the new TV shows for us. They’re nice in that they end in 10-14 episodes. Just finished Lunch no Joou and possibly moving on to Hotaru no Hikari next. If you have suggestions let me know.

Misc: It’s wedding season or something. This summer we will be attending at least 2 weddings with the possibility of that number going up to 5 by the end of this year.

Amazing pixel artist Paul Robertson is back at it.

I’ve shown some of his previous work in a past post and he’s back with a brand new video.

If the title doesn’t sell you I’ll tell you it’s full of epileptic goodness. Go enjoy!
