At last...

...something OTOY-related (http://games.venturebeat.com/2010/02/22/our-latest-gamesbestgdc-speakers-contest-deadline-approaches)

Disruptive companies are getting a lot of attention at our upcoming GamesBeat@GDC executive game conference. The event is set for March 10 in San Francisco at the Game Developers Conference in the Moscone Convention Center. Today we’re announcing the following speakers have been added to our lineup:

Jules Urbach, CEO of Otoy and Lightstage. Urbach will join our panel on Disruptive Innovation and talk about the latest efforts at Otoy to create a games-on demand service with partners such as Advanced Micro Devices. He made his first game, Hell Cab, at age 18. He was the co-founder of Groove Alliance, which pioneered making online Flash games on Shockwave.com such as Real Pool. At Lightstage, he is working on technology that could revolutionize 3-D rendering; the company worked on face-capture technologies that helped create Brad Pitt’s morphing face in the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Like OnLive, Otoy is trying to create cloud-based gaming, which allows consumers to play games in their living room that are actually hosted on servers in a distant data center.

Pieces of Spring

This card is for 2 challenges. The first was for the technique lover's challenge at SCS. Holly challenged us to use punches or die cuts to piece together a scene. I used a small flower punch to make the base of my flowers. I then used the balloon punch to make the petals. I punched the end of the petals with the small 1/8" circle punch. I finished each flower with stamen that were punched out of yellow using my snowflake punch.

The second challenge with this card was for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge. We were challenged to use time on our card. I stamped the clock using my Tim Holtz clock. I scanned it into my computer and enlarged it. I then added Ecclesiastes 3:1 over the clock and printed it onto the green paper. I used a layers of color butterfly and brads to finish it. Yesterday after church, it really snowed. Enough for a snowday today. My oldest son and I shoveled for over an hour just to make a small path on our driveway. I know I should enjoy each season, and not wish time to pass any faster than it already does, but there is a part of me that is longing for warmer weather and colors other than white.
