 Banana Nut Bread

Whoah. I just had an international business meeting. I’m still getting my feet wet in the world of professional game development and production. And yet, life moves me forward faster than I realize sometimes. Just got done with a video conference to Taiwan! Technology just makes everyone so accessible. That, and having friends who are fluent in other languages. I’m so thankful I have both. International Communication Win.

Props go out to Skype for awesome connectivity, to Rick Lai for being professional, my pal and fellow Full Sail alum Scott Farmer, and my boss Tim for getting up early with me to have the meeting. Also, to my lovely wife Nina for the fresh banana nut bread this morning! So good.

[11:28] Rob: lol
[11:28] Me: and on the back “Real Programmers use Magic”
[11:28] Rob: that would make me lol
[11:29] Me: Okay… that does it… I will not actually sell the t-shirt, but I’ll photoshop a fake ad for one.
[11:30] Rob: lol

Good Times. Finally got away from home for a little bit. Got to spend some time resting up in the North Woods.

I realized, while canoeing one day that I had brought my video camera. And then this happened:
