Some video I shot showing scale of the Bridge and Airport fires in Orange County. Containment is still low to none but work at the edges of the fireline looks under more control than Monday.
Man I wish I could be embedded with them to document it all.

Thank you @SanJapan for being amazing hosts that put together a stellar convention.
It was so rewarding to hear stories from the convention’s attendees about what borderlands meant to their memories with friends. My gratitude to you all!
Want to meet and chat with the OG Psycho and Claptrap? We'll be at San Japan this weekend in San Antonio TX!
All aboard the meat bicycle! @davideddings – at Laguna Niguel, CA

Just saw the borderlands movie. There was a lot of "huh?" but also was great to see some tropes on the big screen. I could at least tell Jablonski's team listened to the source material and that was nice to see/hear.
They say you have to be an elite pilot to fly a B-2 and also that it wouldn't be able to fly without its computer. Both make more sense seeing it fly up close:
So cool. youtube.com/watch?v=ZDY2cmn7… – at Laguna Niguel, CA
I released a new wildlife video featuring our resident hummingbird - Allen.
I wrote an 80's vibe track for this one that's got some good feels in it.

WHOLESOME ALERT. This high school jazz band made an arrangement of Supernove Dreamsicle and played it in concert. 👏👏👏

Well, GDC has arrived! Just got into town. I’m still working out who’s attending this year, so if we haven’t seen one another in a while and you’re here, ping me!
Epic evening walk yesterday! A few of the amazing shots I got from it. Bommer Canyon Trail in Irvine.

A dirty little bass patch for XMAS. I call it the "Dirty Wob"
As always, feel free to grab the preset here: drive.google.com/drive/folde… – at Laguna Niguel, CA
I came across this quotable in my notes relating to game development methodology and it made me laugh. But it's also pretty useful I think!

I can't believe this is 10 years old! Only just discovered MacAskill. So creative with his videos too! I'm awestruck.

Another progressive house oriented patch up for grabs. This one can be used as a typical progressive pluck or into something with more of a keys/pad character to it. Macro knobs demo'd below.

I finished up a 2nd abstract short tonight. I'm calling this one Tides in Light. Original music is my own this time around. Has been great practice for doing a higher quality one of these in the future!
The colors in this one are so soothing to me.
