I have, over the years, been mildly (or even majorly) obsessed with several things, including Oakley manufactured gear of all kinds, and carbon fiber. Upon learning that Oakley was looking to make their own glasses out of the magical stuff, my creative thoughts took off, with a unique result.

I just added a new section to the site entitled History. It’s a very interesting and eye-opening exercise to look back at where you came from. My first real foray into design and computers was in 1989, which is scarily close to two decades ago. Amazing how time flies. I can actually still recall sitting at my cramped little desk in the basement playing with some newfangled 3D program that struggled mightily to create a shaded sphere.
And then there is Photoshop 1.0, the one program that almost single-handedly launched digital imaging as we know it today. One of my biggest regrets is that I lost my copy of that single 800k floppy. Darn it.
I’ve had the good fortune to get to work on a pretty wide variety of stuff over the years. Looking back on some of it, I feel actual physical pain in how horrible it was by todays standards, and I often fringe when looking at the “ancient stuff.” At the time though, most of that was pretty hot stuff and it all added to my skill and perspective.
I hope the next couple decades stay interesting and let me push the envelope further and further.

Am I a complete and total geek for making my as-yet-unborn daughter a website? With the .com domain of her actual name? So that she will be able to say when she is 40 years old, and every single domain name on earth is already taken, that her Dad had the awesome foresight to get her that?
I think that does make me a geek. But I don’t care.
