I’m really picky about what software gets installed onto my work machine, and you should be too! Especially when you’re in the middle of a project…

On the other hand, if you’ve been holding out on Google Earth the way I was, hold out no more! It’s fun in a geeky sorta way. After doing the usual fly to my house, your house and their house, the drifter in me couldn’t help but to explore some mountain runs. Here’s an old favorite near the house:

That’s the corner Phil crashed at

The software is also extendable and collaborative, meaning features can be customized and shared. There’s a whole community of people sharing “tours”. Somebody should start up a Touge Tour.

I recently finished work on a microsite for the adiZero line of shoes for adidas. I programmed the game, some of the microsite and did some of the Shoe Photography. Check it out:

Most people don’t know that I lead a secret life as a Product Photographer. Some of my work is up now on the Adidas site:

My boy Amrafel and I shot and knocked out all shoe photos on that “microsite”. I like studio photography so much because of the controlled environment; lighting, angle, lenses, etc.. Besides that, it’s fun

Check out a drifting game that I made for Progressive Insurance and the Tokyo Drift DVD Release. I did just about all of the flash work on that site, including programming the “physics engine” into the game. I put quotes around “physics” because it’s not entirely accurate physics. The goal was to make a fun game (especially for non-drifters) and in a short amount of time. Now go get onto the top 10 board
