Sunset walk along the river at the foot of Mt Tamalpais with Annie Fox and Gracie the Dog. Marin Rowing Association teams in the background.

A Annie stands by a waterfront, smiling, while a dog walks nearby. The scene is set during sunset, with warm colors reflecting on the water. Surrounding greenery and a few buildings are visible in the background.

The image shows a scenic view of a river at dusk with two boats. One is a rowing crew with several participants, and the other is a motorboat with people on board. In the background, there are residential houses and trees, all reflecting on the water

A scenic waterfront view at sunset featuring a colorful sky with shades of pink and blue. People, including Annie Fox walk along a path by the water, accompanied by dogs. Houses and trees are visible along the shore, with Mt Tam in the background.

A tranquil sunset view over a calm body of water, with reflections of the sky and surrounding homes. In the foreground, there are silhouettes of palm trees and shrubbery, while a mountain looms in the background. A group of people in a boat row by.

What can you do with an excess of honey? Our adult kids gave us a mead making kit, and after a few months of fermentation it’s time for bottling. I added a little cinnamon to the three on the right. Recipe says to wait 3-6 more months, or a year if I can stand it. #mead #homebrew

Way back on July 28, 2025, I had a long conversation about my games career and everything else I've been doing for the past 50 years, with my old friend Mark Holmes as part of his #cinematicdesign Community. I just uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy!

I've talked about the awesome fan-created version of Rescue on Fractalus! ("Fractalus") by Luke's Software. If you don't, you have to check it out.

One area Luke could use some help with is the Jaggi animation. Luke's not an animator. Know anyone who […]
