My dad and I took Juliana up to Crystal Mountain for her second ski trip. It's amazing how quickly she has improved now. She was able to do some turning, but we think she still hasn't quite mastered that or stopping at the moment. I forgot to take my camera up to the slopes, so I only got to take a few shots when we got back to the car.
I did manage to take a video with my Windows Phone to show how well she stays up. Over two minutes of her flying down the hill without falling or stopping. She's going to be an amazing skier.
Since I didn't really take too many pictures these last two weeks, I took my camera out on a little walk around work. But not before taking a surprise shot of these guys. This is Virgil and Dave who support a lot of the physical installation and integration of our systems at Studios.
Here's the building I work in. People tell me that it used to be a warehouse before it was converted into a production studio. Still love my job.
Across the street from us is Nintendo. Redmond is not only the headquarters for Microsoft, but yes, one of the other biggest video game console and game makers in the world. To be precise, this is the headquarters for Nintendo of America.
Their building is actually pretty new and looks like it's pretty nice on the inside. The outside leaves a lot to be desired. They used to put a Nintendo character's face on a flag on their flag pole, but don't seem to do that anymore. However, there are Mario Kart-style signs on the parking garage, which is fun.
I know one person who works here and I'm still trying to get a tour from him sometime. Other than that, you always see tons of young video game testers probably making slightly over minimum wage. I've heard game testing is a pretty miserable job, though you would think otherwise for a career that requires you to play video games all day. To see more pictures of Nintendo, my work, and the snow up at Crystal, view the full set.
