My studio had it's bi-annual studio update meeting today. We held it at the CN IMAX Theatre at Paciffic Place. Nice venue, I mean IMAX screen, how could you go wrong?!
Well there's a great many ways you can go wrong....
1) Not tell IT what you are presenting untill 2 days before the meeting
2) Not tell IT in what format you are presenting
3) CHANGE your format 1 hour before the presentation
4) Not communicate with IT at all over the lead up to the presentation
Guess what? My company did all the above and it was a disaster. One IP didn't get to present any of their videos, one only got half their videos and as someone who was there watching the whole thing... it made both IT and the studio out to be a bunch of idiots.
The bad part is now the powers that be will try to make IT out as the bad guys in this situation because as far as they can see their footage worked at their desks and in their presentations elsewhere. My lead is probably going to take a lashing over the affair and all in all the blame may or may not land completely on us. Probably will though.
Sebastian doesn't want to go to sleep tonight. I was in the bedroom with him for 45 minutes and now Kate is in there and I am still hearing screaming. I'm out because someone is supposed to be here picking up aa 'for sale' item from me... but as yet... he just got here.
till later internet.

New Friends
We've gone out a few times now with this other family that has a cute little girl around 14 months old. Turns out her parents are awesome.
Jeff the Dad is a software engineer (programmer) and has pretty much all my interests and a very similar sense of humor. Kristi is a crafty girl and a real hoot all around. She's got these great braids and the bridge of her nose pierced.
Well we went for a walk in the park, we've gone for coffee twice and we went there for dinner on Saturday night.... They can cook, they have great conversation, their kid is great. I think Kate and I are in new friend heaven.
We needed BADLY to get out of the house yesterday, we were fighting and there was a general crappy feeling here. So Kate convinced me to go out, we got a burger and drove to Granville Island. On the way I was thinking about how it kinda sucked that it would be a while till we saw these cats again. However, as we were walking along, there in front of us was Jeff, Kristi and Imani. So we got to spend an impromptu afternoon with them and lo and behold, even with no mental preperation or forethough we all had a great time again!
So yeah, after 2 years of dealing with our friends that have no kids... this is great!

If life is a bitch...
...then when's the high quality make up sex gonna get here?
Although I doubt that life would let me stick it to it like it does to us... I do think that the fight has ended in a way.
This isn't to say that I gave up or anything like that but a number of truths have finally been accepted by me and now I feel that it's important to do everything I can to take these truths down to myth town.
1. I am depressed.
2. My relationship with my best friend and wife is strained.
3. I am distant from everyone I know because I am afraid of who I think I am.
4. Accepting that there is something wrong with me is the hardest thing ever.
My family has always been one that kept it's secrets. We never mentioned things like mental health or depression or even problems in marriage for that matter. My parents were always happy and together. Looking back I see that my parents have a distant relationship and they were always at arms length of one another. However, that said they are also very close and know more about one another than I do with Kate.
No one in my family has ever been depressed. Except my mom after a number of miscarriages before I was born and some post-partum depression after both me and my brother. Other than these instances everyone has been hunky-dory. I call bullshit.
My brother went through a long period of time where he was obviously having troubles and the whole family went through counselling that got us somewhere. I think I blocked this memeory... I used to throw up when we went to these sessions...
Speaking of blocking memories. I realize regularily that my memories of my childhood are very limited.... I can't remember events or details. I have trouble thinking about how my upbringing went along and what sort of things I was involved in.
For example. I know I was in soccer.... I don't remember anything about it though. I know I was in track and field.. nothing. I know I was in cubs and went to camps and such but I don't remember anything about it.... It feels like I am missing something, something important and something that I should have full memory of.
I wonder if other people have this problem or if something happened and I am blocking this. Also I have had several (3 or 4) large blows to my head that have knocked me unconscience in the past. I got hit in the back of the head with a dumpster lid (age 23). I fell down the stairs while moving in to my new house and was out for 45mins (age 27). I fell off my bike and had a concussion when I was somewhere near 10? So maybe these things have something to do with it?
Anyway, lately I have been really down in the dumps and my relationships all over have suffered for it. My family and my friends have been treated poorly by me for no reason and I have let people down in excess while doing everything in my power to please other that mean nothing to me or my life.
I have bad feelings about my self and how I see myself in this world. Negative dark issues with myself that affect how I deal with other becasue of how I think they see me. I know that I am projecting the opinions of myself on to others and that most of the time it's not how I am viewed but.....
Anyway, bordering on the longest entry I have ever made, I need to get some work done... so till later.... watch the indian version of THRILLER....

habberkazabber
So much stuff going on. Big network project at work that has me wrapped up in wiring and designing and troubleshooting... lots of fun though... better than sitting at desks.
Sebastian just got a new haircut and looks really cute but he also looks really different. To look at him you need to focus to know he's Sebastian.... he's no longer the mop topped kid. Looking at him right now while I scratch my head I realize I also need a haircut.
We just got Sebastian a bowling set and a Doctors kit. The Doctor kit has most of the same stuff as mine did when I was a kid. Lots of fun there. Now I just need to wait till he starts trying to fix Kate and I.
Anyway I am going to go make some coffee.

YaY christmas is over!
Well, it WAS a lot of fun but it's good that it's over with again. Now just a few days of Boxing Day madness and then we should be back to normal.... till New Years Eve that is. We had the Kate's Dad and Sisters over for Dinner on Christmas Eve and then we went over there for lunch and such on the 25th. It was a lot of fun and Kate got to find out that her two younger sisters think she's cool. Now isn't that cool.

A Christmas Letter.
Hi folks,
Well this is it, my very first Christmas letter. The first ever letter from my family to yours. Here goes.
The last two years have been pretty amazing, what with Sebastian being born, moving out to Vancouver and basically starting things over in a whole new place. We’re now settled here in New Westminster and our apartment has a good feel of family and home. We’ve got our tree up, Kate and Sebastian made snowflakes that are hanging from our roof above the tree and Sebastian keeps trying to eat the popcorn garland right off the tree.
When we moved out of our house in Calgary to the little basement suite across the alley a lot of things happened to us in a short period of time. We were flooded, twice. We had a number of horrible weeks where we slept on the floor and couch in our cramped living room/dining room/ kitchen while heaters and fans tried to fight back the water in our bedroom and office space. Worried about mould and what would happen the next time it rained and scared as new parents about what could happen to Sebastian in this place. Also living on my IBM contract job was getting more and more difficult and we were finding it consistently harder to make ends meet. Thus it was decided that things needed to change, drastically.
We packed our bags and headed out to Vancouver in our little BMW and hoped for the best. We had a wonderful place to stay for a few months while we got everything back together and most of all it would be above ground! Dad and I made the drive out together following behind Kate and Sebastian who flew. We talked about this and that and made the drive over two days. This I could feel was the beginning of something new and wonderful. Dad and I hadn’t spoken so openly and comfortably for quite some time and I think that his coming along with me on this trip was like bringing a bit of my family forever with me to Vancouver.
We stayed in this new age house for two months at which point we gave it back to it’s owner and moved in with our friends Jenn and Rob. Their house was a little less nice than the one we had been in but still, the feeling of community and friendship within the house made up for the blemishes it had physically. We lived there for a few months and slowly the stress of pleasing three adults and one small child with an increasing ability to get in to trouble started wearing on us all. We had all but decided that we should find our own homes when deja-vu struck and the basement flooded. The BMW died and we were looking like maybe this had been a bad idea after all. So… we had a garage sale.
We sold almost everything. Everything had a price and we wanted it gone. All the excess baggage, all the junk, and all the stuff we had been toting around for years and could no longer remember why. It was time for it to go, and so it went. We got rid of almost everything. Then we got a moving truck and headed to New West.
Now we live in our cozy one bedroom apartment, we still have too much stuff but it’s a smaller place so it’s all relative, right?
New West is a nice place and we’ve got a good community base. There are programs like Motorin’ Munchkins, where Kate and Sebastian go some mornings. Sebastian gets the run of a huge gym full of toys and just has a blast running around. Queen’s park is very close and there is a wonderful track around the park for walking, forested area and a big playground with a huge spray park. Kate has started a parents group and has meet-ups with parents and their kids during the day time where they can go for coffee or to a park and talk while their kids play.
In October, I got hired on and I am having a wonderful time here, it’s much more gratifying than IBM ever was. The stability of having a constant income and health benefits have given us peace of mind, we are finally making waves towards a positive future.
Sebastian has grown up a lot over the last months. He has so many more words in his vocabulary and he loves pointing at everything he sees while shouting with great enthusiasm words like CAR and TWRUCK and TWREE. Sebastian paints and draws and plays music on his drum and recorder. He gives hugs to all the new kids he meets and says (and signs) thank you to everyone for even the smallest things.
And right now… with the tree, the snowflakes and the presents……
He’s finally realizing that something is up. Christmas is here.
Much love to all of you from all of us,
Merry Christmas,
Andrew, Kate and Sebastian

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Well... a lot has been going on around here lately.
It's almost christ-haun-kwanz-adon time and Vancouver has been somewhat flighty as of late. We got a couple of huge storms through here in the last few days knocking out the power to people all over the mainland and on the island. The thing is it wasn't even just a few people for a short while it was like 200,000 people and some for days. The trains have not been running properly and yesterday I had to get a ride 2 stations down the line just to get to a station with power.
Sebastian is sick right now and has some kinda cold that seems to be *just* starting or that's mild and is ongoing.... not really sure. He's also got some teeth coming in that have been working him over for a number of days now. So..... he's been pretty crappy crabby.
Kate and I are re-plowing our way through the Band of Brothers series and the Harry Potter movies with the help of a projector I borrowed from work again. It's pretty sweet watchin'.
Work has been 'fun' and we had to do a full studio asset scan which was a little hectic. There is sooooooo much stuff in the studio. I mean each user must have a PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 Dev, 2 Monitors, a TV, Tablet, and sometimes even WII dev's and such. When you got 500 users this takes a long long time to get through. After 3 floors we had scanned over 1200 things and there are 5 floors. Nuts.
Well I got some coffee brewing and some eggs to cook....

No Matter how new age you get.....
...old age gonna kick yo ass.
Ok so Pink Tentacle has a new article up about a techno-genius room that adjusts itself to the mood of it's occupants. Changing lighting, colour of lighting, music and even smells in the room to make the occupants more comfortable. My friend Sean was recently informed of this marvel by me via MSN and well he had some of the best comments possible on the matter.
hells yes
«Sean» says :
i can already see how we're going to wind up like our parents when we're old
Philmore says :
how so?
«Sean» says :
because we'll be all over technology... but suddenly it won't seem like technology anymore
«Sean» says :
we'll want keyboards and monitors and shit
Philmore says :
hahahaaa
«Sean» says :
they'll have voice commands and holograms
«Sean» says :
and our kids will have to come over to stop our holo-assistant from blinking "12:00"
Philmore says :
ROTFLMFAO

brown water
The roof is leaking. What is up with that?
Something. Somewhere... is causing water to appear in and fall out of our roof. The once smooth bumpthat ran from one end of the living room to the other is now a gash, and there is water dripping out of it.... brown water. yum yum yum.
My landlord was just here a told me a {oh so reassuring} story about the next door neighbours apartment having this issue a short time ago. He put a big hole in their roof to see what the problem was and found nothing. Then he put a hole in the apartment floor on the second floor looking for the leak. No dice. He found it on the third floor somewhere eventually and it was oh so laughable. tra-la-ha-ha
Ours is now fixed, hours later. although we have not been told that it is fixed, just no more water is coming out..... so is that fixed? I don't really know.
Apparently the problem was on the third floor though.

nobody listens to techno.
So my friend Craig ( Dj Kwest ) has decided in his infinite wisdom that I am to be the holder of gems. Now this isn't some crazy Dungeons and Dragons thing, no. This is much cooler.
Although being cooler than anything D&D is kinda the same way that water is wetter than rocks.
However, Craig has decided that his business for music producing, image/graphic design and video stuff is more important in the long run than his continued DJ career with vinyl. As the Vinyl Archive project continues and he nears some 3000 pieces of vinyl encoded, mastered and archived he is realizing that his Digital Technics turntables will be the way he will rock the world from this point forth.
Now, getting back to the 'keeper of gems' angle here... I am the chosen to take all of this vinyl as it's encoded... I am the one who gets to inherit the best of the best, all the stuff that he never wants to see fall in to sale, and go to the highest bidder. Never to end up in the hands of some 18 yr old Dj who will fingerprint them and discard them. To top this off there is a lot of 'filler' coming my way too. Great tracks, double packs and singles alike.
So basically I am just happier than a pig in shit and after taking the first bag of many to come yesterday I can honestly say that Janet Jackson's "Got till it's gone" speed garage, DnB and breaks mixes sound better on my turntables than anywhere I've ever heard them before.

simple yet effective
I had a wonderful weekend. I got to sleep next to my boy for two naps and it was very nice. Made me feel like a Dad and just overwhelmed me with love for my son. We all had a great day on Saturday too and I think everyone around here just felt rejuvinated from it.Oh did I mention it dumped 6cm of snow here? Yeah. It did.
Sebastian helped me build a computer recently and this was just a great picture from it.And I did some more artwork I don't think I uploaded yet. A Few things I'd like to fix in it but as it's a learning piece I'm just going to leave it and continue on.
too bad blogger won't let me upload it..... I'll try later

living is life
Well we (my co-workers and I) got the official shaft. We were moved from our little Hilton on the 12th to an open and rather uncomfortable sport on the 20th. We now are at little IKEA tables and have to wait 3-6weeks for new cubicle furniture to come in. Weak.
The worst part about it is that I feel absolutely no one fought for us to stay or to even find us a better alternative. We were told this is what there was and that's that. Well we were given one alternative but it did not work out and all involved were unagreeable to the solution. After this the decision was made.
By who? Who knows?
Why? Who Knows?
totally vegan.
I'm feeling really down about work.... can you tell? it's driving me a little nuts these last few weeks and I really can't seem to break this bad mood = work cycle I am in right now. With any luck something will come along that will lift my mood somewhat.
Life will balance.

up the date
why no updates you ask? Battlefield 2142 that's why. All you WOW'ers this is better.I played the beer n cake last week at work. It was fun but I felt like I was playing for nothing really. There were 15 people in the room and 30-40 outside that couldn't hear me. Nothing like feeling like you suck. I didn't, it was good but yeah.
Halloween came and went. Sebastian saved the world twice and his parents were so gratefull they put him to bed and ate all his candy :) We gave him some before he went out and a little coming back and he was WIRED!! I don't think he's getting chocolate for a while. The wicked costume was all made by mom. Super S with his Tooth cape. Very Very cool.
I've been working on my man Philmore here. I have been vector drawing in Illustrator and then moving it to photoshop for touch ups and colouring. I free handed the beard and neck as the vector images weren't what I wanted and I couldn't get them to behave. Now I just need to work on stylizing them and colouring them and I can continue.I have no idea what he is but he is based on shapes our clothes made in the laundry bag one day. I just took the pad in to the can and drew him out.
what else........?
We are on this new food plan now. I think I may have mentioned it. We only eat foods with ingredients that we can pronounce so that pretty much limits it to fresh foods. We now get food from spud.ca and omg is it ever good. Super fresh organic produce. I had a raddish the other day in my lunch that looked like a beet. It was HUGE. And the deliver for free on our orders. yay! ok till later.
