Heatwave is looking for a Gamer's Advisory Committee
Hi folks. Since it has been a while, I'm going to cover a wide range of topics, both professional and personal.
Professional:
As the subject says, we're looking to form an advisory committee comprised of true blue gamers of all stripes. That's right, YOU could be a member of a select group of regular Jane's and Joe's who have the inside track on the upcoming products from Heatwave Interactive.
I've always wanted to do this, and as I'm up to my ears in other corporate muck, I thought I'd take a second to do something close to my heart.
So, pay attention to the Heatwave Interactive Website during the month of August for official details about how YOU could have serious input on Heatwave projects.
In other Heatwave news, some of our team members are working very hard on some very cool technology which will showcase at this years' SIGGRAPH. No, I can't tell you about it yet. Stupid NDA. I can hear you asking yourself, "Why does Anthony bother telling me about these things if he can't actually talk about them?" Well, because you should KNOW that there are four really talented guys totally busting their assess to make this company thrive. And they rock. And you should know about it. Now you do.
Personal:
You want to know more about that lightning strike, right? Okay, it's all repaired now. It did indeed hit the alarm box in the closet. It then spread throughout the house and either melted or shorted 50% of the alarm sensors in the house. Just to be sure, we had the entire setup replaced.
Here are some pictures of the damage and repairs for those of you who just can't get enough SunSword drama....

This is where the lightning entered the house in the master closet and arched across the room to hit the alarm box.

This is what the damage looked like from the outside, as it was being repaired.

Frequent scenes like this from my deck are part of the reason we didn't sell the house immediately after the lightning strike.
All fixed now. Next up would be a tornado I suppose?
