2008 started with a 7-day family cruise to Hawaii - the first time for all of us. We visited Oahu, Hilo, Kona, Kauai, and Maui.

We went to Napa several times this year, but this January visit was our first.

In February, I spent my 28th birthday skiing / falling in Vail, Colorado.

March brought the Game Developers Conference back to San Francisco, where I got to try out all sorts of new games and equipment. Maybe Minor Studios will get to be here one day?

April and I drove down to Disneyland for her birthday.

Later in the month, we also took a cruise around Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada in Baja California.

Bay to Breakers, San Francisco's annual "race" in May, was as insane as ever.

In June, I returned to Buenos Aires and Rosario in Argentina. We opened up a dedicated Minor Studios office down there this year, and I'm planning to head back down for a month in early 2009.

A group of us rented a cabin in Lake Tahoe to celebrate the 4th of July.

We announced our video game project, Atmosphir, at the TechCrunch50 conference in September. The 7-minute presentation went great, and we were lucky enough to be selected as one of the judges' top 6 companies. The game is currently in a closed beta and will be launched in early 2009.

Thanks for watching...happy holidays, and best wishes for 2009!
