  • Welcome to My Website!

    Hello, and thanks for stopping by! This is my place to post my various images, movies and blog rants about anything I think is relevant, which means eventually anything from movies to politics (geez where do I start, I live in California?) to music and computers! This is a wordpress site which works great when it's not hacked, (hence this is my reboot of the site, think 2.0 if you will!) and it will allow me to be a bit more active in updating my content. Feel free to take a look around while I begin to add my stuff and drop me an email if you want to say hi!
  • About Me

    My name is Tim, I'm a Creature Supervisor at Industrial Light + Magic, and  I was a bass player in a Duran Duran Tribute band (eh, I guess we broke up) with a penchant for movies, music, computers, zombies, stop-frame animation, bass guitars, Rush, South Park, Monty Python, Venture Bros. and whatever else floats my boat! Take a look around and don't forget to send me a beer below. It don't cost nuthin!

    Well, these are something I can't take credit for! During the last days of ILM's residence in San Rafael, before we moved to the Presidio, I worked in a unique room called the "Shelf". It was basically a converted garage in which we'd roll the door open on Sunny days (and not so sunny ones). It also had a lot of history and character. These cards, a hundred or so of them, were plastered over the wall so I felt that for posterity purposes they should be preserved for future generations. I hope to update the flash images on my homepage with new cards every week or so. So Neil and Ken, this is for you!....

  • Trailer Park Boys with Alex Lifeson!

    Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge Rush fan. I haven't missed a tour since my first concert in 1982 during the Signals Tour. Sure, during the past few tours I may have missed their first pass through, (Hey, I'm getting older, I've can't stand in line like a teenager anymore!), but I've always caught a show at least once during a tour. The streak lives on! I also love the Trailer Park Boys, the Canadian comedy about, well, you just have to watch it! It's definitely my sense of humor! When Alex Lifeson himself appears on an episode, Bubbles is trying to get tickets and the video above is just the edited Rush parts of that episode. Makes me laugh every time I see it, so I thought I'd share! There's salty language in it, so keep the volume down if you're at work!
