Hey everybody, I know it’s been a while since I posted on my site, and I had a few minutes, so here I am!  I’ve been super busy with work, and the baby …and moving, so it’s been pretty hard to get the time / motivation to get on here. So, work is going pretty good… we’re chuggin’ right along. I’m really excited about this movie! Can’t wait to see it on the big screen. (I’m talking about 2012 for those who don’t know).  You all have to go see it when it comes out (or else!)

For those of you who know me personally, the baby is doing really well, he’s super healthy, super happy, and super fun! He’s growing and learning a lot even in just the 3 months that’s he been on the outside world! I could go on for a while talking about how awesome being a dad is, but I won’t bore you all.  My Friend Sean and Amy came down for a bit, and man was that a good weekend! We had so much fun, and I actually fired up the Turntables just for the occasion… me and Sean tore it up! =)    You should definetly check out his music @ http://www.sliptide.com and http://www.silverstandardmusic.com/music.php

So, I know this is kind of old news now, but I made the front page of CGTalk with my reel! Man, what an honor that was! Thanks to everybody that commented! It was really cool having my website go from a few visits to like 3000 in one day. =)  Also, I’ve gotta give lots of love and thanks to the peeps at Blur for the reel! Thanks Again!!!

…and one last thing… I’ve been playing more with Houdini lately, and man am I starting to fall in love. This program is pretty amazing, and I’m finally starting to get the hang of it since I’ve been staying up late just to play with it! I’ll try to start posting WIP stuff that I do with it.  I’m also going to try and do some Maxscripts that I’ve been meaning to do for a while… specifically revamping / continuing a certain layer manager (The Onion 2) from Blur. They got busy with other stuff and couldn’t quite finish it. The version in the Blurbeta package is pretty close to done, but even then I think it’ll still be a lot of work, more importantly a fun challenge for me.

That’s it for now!
