Los Angeles for E3

I think this is my seventh E3 in a row – and I won’t say trite things like it was crazy or mind numbing, even though it was. There were all sorts of cool stuff there and it was great to see the next-gen stuff. The frame rates seemed a bit slow, but Microsoft assured that it would get faster and Microsoft is never wrong.

EA had the coolest booth as usual – this screen actually went around the entire room and it was totally seamless…I have no idea how they did this. But it was cool and I was glad to be wearing a diaper (as always).

Exploring the countryside of Korea

I headed out of Seoul today to explore the countryside a bit and went to Namhansanseong, a huge mountain fortress in the south. The weather was perfect for hiking – but I couldn’t quite make it around all 9.5 km of fortress walls. In fact I only hiked about 1/10th of the distance. In fact, I only thought about going that far, and just hung out at the drink stand.

Occasionally I would get really disoriented and wondered if, by accident, I wandered into North Korea. I did check my shoes for enriched Uranium, but I found none, so I figured everything must be okay.

Hail in Austin!

So after I got back from my trip, there was this huge Summer storm in Austin that dumped all this hail at our house. Ethan had a blast playing in it – obviously his mom was not home and that is why I was able to get away with taking him outside in shorts. This is just one of many bad decision I have made as a dad.
