  • 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 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 a bass player in a Duran Duran Tribute band 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! Besides, I went on Weight Watchers this past January and I had to cut out my favorite beer, Newcastle, and replace it with tasteless Miller 64 Genuine Draft. A virtual beer from a visitor such as yourself would help my loss!

    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!....

  • My Tribute to Duran Duran!

    Hey, it's about time for an update! I've recently come out of retirement (ala Brett Farve) as a bass player and I'm holding down (or at least trying to) the John Taylor role in a Duran Duran Tribute band in the bay area called 'Sing Blue Silver'. We just formed and played our first gig recently and it's something I'm really excited about. No matter what your feelings about DD are, they are talented musicians and they have a library of very fun, musically interesting songs. The video above represents the original Duran Duran lineup in a reunion tour a few years back. Careless Memories wasn't one of my favorite songs when it came out, but I have to admit that it's has grown on me and become one of my favorites due to it's sheer energy. Enjoy!
