In case you’ve wondered

In the off chance that anyone has wondered why I’ve been distant (and grumpy on occasion) I can fnally share. At NAB 2 weeks ago we announced the products I’ve been working madly on for the past God-knows-how-long. We announced a number of cool updates to Apple’s Pro application suite, the ones nearest and dearest to my heart being,Final Cut Pro HD,LiveType 1.2, and Cinema Tools 2.2 (being that I do engineering on FCP and i manage portions of the development on LiveType and Cinema tools.

In addition we announced a brand new Application called Motion which I (and a few guys on my team) helped out on. This app is a really cool motion graphics solution for doing various forms of video animations and effects. Its definitely well worth checking out…

Never too old

For an easter basket…

My mom and Webb came up yesterday for easter – the schedule was a little confused to workaround helping out Matt and Brian where needed but we ended up having a really nice day relaxing and futzing around. We went to Church (without kevin, who came up with some lame work excuse to get out of going to the Christian Science church with the rest of us 😉 ) and my Mom and I walked Matt and Brian’s dogs so they could deal with other things (and so my mom could explore Golden Gate Park as she loves to do). After that we came back and slowly put together an easter dinner of ribs, baked beans, artichokes, and a salad – hows that for odd but really yummy.

But the best part was they brought Kevin an I a huge easter basket full of stuff that neither of us have any business eating (but undoubtedly will anyway)… We’re talkin chocolate bunnies, peeps, jelly beans, malted milk balls, marshmallow eggs… And that cellophane grass that gets all over the fuckin place.. I LOVE it! 😉

Ayden Florence Fuller Brantner

I’m so excited I can’t even think straight – Matt and Brian are DADDYs. I got an email from Brian yesterday saying that their birth mom’s water had just broke and they were rusing off to the hospital. I spent the rest of the afternoon glued to the phone (even while we were at the movies – on silent lest you worry that I’m one of THOSE people) waiting for news. Well while we were in the movie I got 2 calls from matt – the first asking how long before delivery to they administer an epidural and the second (which I MISSED DAMN IT) saying that there wasn’t time for an epidural.

So I’d like to be one of the first to welcome Ayden Florence Fuller Brantner and congratulate Matt and Brian! :):)

Update: We went over today to visit Ayden in the hospital. She is SO DAMN Cute and SO well behaved. Here are the pictures from today..

This is outstanding

A weekend in Palm Springs

Things got so busy I never got around to posting about the trip Kevin and I took with Rick and Randy to Palm Springs. The weekend was REALLY nice – we spent the weekend going on hikes through the mountains and desert (including Joshua Tree national park), hangin out by the pool, and going out to eat. Rather than go into details i’ll just point you at Randy’s description – he did a GREAT job of describing the weekend..

My contribution to the story is the pictures that Kevin and I took:
