A new chapter

Friday, July 21st, 2006

I’ve decided to start my own company. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, from writing little game programming projects in elementary school and high school to starting companies around graphics technologies in college and my early years.

That was my intent when I left Openwave, but instead found a great vision, new friends, and a very valuable education from my time at FilmLoop. What a ride it has been so far.

But the market has evolved, and it is now time to take a fresh look at one of my core passions: Making stuff easy and fun for people to use.

And do this especially for mobile phones. Because right now, they’re hard to use, and certainly not fun when you are.

I trust that my past experiences will guide me through this journey, and I hope it will be very much a shared adventure with past and future friends, acquaintances through partnerships, customers, and conferences I have visited through the years.

Along the way, I will write about my new and past experiences and share any humble insights as they may come.

So with a bit of luck and elbow grease, let’s get to work!

Serenity

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

My new favorite film. Serenity. Lacking proper words to describe. It’s my favorite TV series made whole (and on the Big Damn Screen!).

And for those of you who are already Browncoats, here is a link to a flyer I’ve created to help promote the film.

And if you haven’t already, I recommend viewing Firefly the TV series upon which Serenity is based on.

satine.org 2.0

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

Welcome to a slightly updated form of my web journal. Since my server crashed about a month ago, I’ve been looking to move to a dedicated host for e-mail, web, and commercial web applications. Dreamhost has fit the bill perfectly, and at their recommendation, satine.org is now running WordPress.

Not all of the templates are in place yet, so things will seem a bit funky for a short while I navigate the new templating system. (Things like Recent Artwork, some links, and my Music will come online soon)

With this new system, I’m excited, it’s much easier to post and manage satine.org now, so look forward to more frequent posts from me over time.

Cheers!
