I’m joining Team CNET Networks for the AIDS Walk on July 15th in Golden Gate Park! It’s a 10k walk, and I’m trying to raise $1000 for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. If you’d like to sponsor me, click here or on the image below!

Today is 24 Hours of Flickr, and so Ryan and I went around and took pictures in the beautiful weather. Today was also Free Comic Book Day! I got some of those too.

Tonight is Spiderman 3 – I’m a little worried, I heard it was pretty terrible. Careful, there might be spoilers in the link. I hope that it’s at LEAST entertaining.

Last Saturday night was Wii Fight Club, and there are four rules:
1. Don’t blog about Wii fight
2. Do NOT blog about Wii fight
3. No Twitter
4. No Dodgeball

Well, I broke three out of four… kind of. In any event, I kicked Ryan’s butt, so it was all worth it! See my victory interview on Geek Entertainment TV‘s video of the event, seen above. Hopefully they’ll invite me back after this blog post.

Trip to Industrial Light & Magic

Today I went with News.com to visit Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic. Like I mentioned in my last post, this was an incredible chance to meet people who’ve created and worked on some of my favorite movies, including Willow, Star Trek (First Contact and Generations), Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars… need I go on? I was honored to meet Hal Hickle (Animation Supervisor) and John Knoll (Visual Effects Supervisor) who are both Oscar-nominated for their work on Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest. They’re in crunch time right now working on the third movie, which is due at the end of spring. But that’s not all! I also met Michael Sanders, who showed me the ins and outs of the motion capture process (see pajamas here). I’m hoping sometime I can get back in there and actually try making an animation myself!

Well, as you can see I took a lot of photos. Daniel Terdiman, who’ll be writing up the articles for News.com, also took about 200 pictures. I’ll link to those image galleries and my own videos when they’re published.
