Here I am, taking a break at the Vancouver Convention Centre, home of the 2010 Olympics. Typical Vancouver weather.

Good to see I'm not the only old man in the group! Woo!

Here's the GameDaddy at work in the Computer Lab.


I spend a bit of time every week teaching Graphic Arts, Photography, Software Apps, etc. Someone gave me the keys to a lab and a twenty computer network (Windows IIS... blech...) to do this.

And here's the GameDaddy hanging out with Frozone. Superheroes always have the best stories...

In the first picture you remind me of Matt LeBlanc if he wore glasses.

You know, Joey from Friends.

She's 15. (I looked it up on IMDB)

This photo was taken during a photo-shoot for a video my siblings and friends and myself created. We were all goofing off and my mom was the photographer, so it annoyed her quite badly when we kept making silly faces.

I'm only a year and a half older than her. I'm a bit tall for my age, though. And that's not a decent picture of me. I mainly wanted to show off that I know Dakota Fanning.
I don't have many decent pics that are recent. I guess that means I need to change that.

We met at the movie premiere. I sat close to her and Teri Hatcher during the movie, and then saw them at the after party as well. I walked over to the after party with Nike CEO Phil Knight. He was there because his son, Travis, is the owner of Laika Studios, who made the movie Coraline. Phil Knight is one of the main sources of funds for Laika.

A couple weeks training in Yorkshire:



disclaimer: no yorkies were harmed during the capturing of this photo; many scousers were.

Seriously though. Guns are not toys (hence I wont show the rest of the album where we pose with them inappropriately), this was training done under controlled conditions by the British Army.

PS, Grandma, you look like David Tennant (Doctor Who):

Okay, here's me. I'll have you know this is the first time I've ever posted my own picture on the internet. I hope you guys are happy now.

Yes, my room is green, but it's not quite as horrible a shade as what turned out there. Wearing a green shirt didn't help either I guess.
