Here's Pasi, support guru from Steinberg North America in the favorite place of all tech geeks, Fry's Electronics. We were buying lots of cool gear for our booth at the NAMM show in Anaheim due to open next day. He's smiling through gritted teeth at just finding out that his credit card is no good. The salesman at Fry's is looking suspicious and calling the bank... Oops!

This is the Anaheim Conference Center, my home for a warm and wonderful week

Here's Joshua also from Steinberg North America pretending to demonstrate Cubase. This is normally my job, but since I was taking photos at the time he stepped in. You should certainly check out Josh's home page, and if you haven't used Cubase you haven't lived.

Kord Taylor from Silicon Graphics showing off how amazing their computers are on the Steinberg booth. Can I have a free O2 now please Kord? Please?

This wonderful human being is Ernst from Propellerheads, developers of great music software such as ReCycle! and ReBirth. If you haven't tried ReBirth yet you should download the demo NOW!

This is Jeesie Deep, member of the great Arkaos team of programmers. He just got a Casio camera too, and was trying to put me off while I demonstrated. He should have known better. Right now he's on tour with Jean-Michel Jarre, poor boy...

One night after the show we went to TGI Friday's in Anaheim, a place we highly recommend. I even got the waitress to swing off poles for me. She was cute. Pity she was married...

Me standing under a palm tree. In January. God, I love California...

After the show I went to Disneyland with some friends from Heru-Ra-Ha Lodge. Here are Carrie, Lon, and Shawn. Carrie makes really cool jewellry, Lon writes brilliant books, and Shawn is a musician. How come we're all so talented?

Rodney blows up a building in ToonTown. I really really really want to get an apartment in ToonTown! My favorite place in the world, ever.

Neptune rises from the waves. Y'know Disney are really corrupting the youth of today and leading them into pagan beliefs... Disgusting, I call it.

After Disneyland I went off to the wilds of Austin, Texas for a few days r'n'r. Lisa helped. She's a wonderful Scarlet Woman, and you really should visit her website.

My beautiful Sister Amanda models a T-shirt from her favorite band. She doesn't have a website. Weird.

Me and Lisa at OTO HQ. Don't ask. If I told you I'd have to kill you. Heh. OTO chicks are cool. Mirrors are cool too.
