A trip of happiness on Valentine’s Eve. 💘
I have returned to Southern California. Where are all the trees? (P.S. I miss Northern California 🌲)
First time here. 😳
I really miss my writing/animating buddy. 😢
James Horner Rocketeer Re-master
Jupiter in Spatial Audio while reading Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin. 🥰
My house is hilarious. 90’s West Coast rap downstairs. East Coast upstairs. (Obviously my studio is downstairs 😑🙂)
My kind of Saturday Night Live 
New Rock Sugar album! ReInventinator - pure 80s heaven! 
Can’t stay up any longer. Guess I’ll be asleep when powered flight takes place on another planet!
Devastated. The Dome was my temple.
New Endel Deeper Focus soundscapes are intense! Like living within a Hans Zimmer soundscape. I can’t stop typing!!
My first son is 22 today. The cliche is totally real, it goes by way too fast. And for those struggling to work from home with kids around–I’d do anything to be locked in a house with that kid for a year (when he was 4 or 5 mind you, not now! 😄)
The world is huge. I am small The universe is infinite. My time is short. 🧘🏻♂️
Nub nub. E chug yub nub. Ko nee kopechkee ganut ga fling hoo haaaaaa
For some reason, it’s a Return of the Jedi soundtrack night.
Best soundtrack for rolling out a major release or submitting a project you poured your soul into.
So I guess today is Daylight Savings.
Kids can’t stream Peter Pan.
I never realized this, but listening to the soundtrack for Ex Machina in the background - the last track is a spin on Close Encounters …
Looking back over old code, it almost breaks my heart to have remove the pieces I don’t need anymore. It’s either that, or the soundtrack from The Prestige on infinite repeat tonight…
When you figure out something you’ve been working on for 22 years, Welcome to the Black Parade is essential celebration music.
A virtual recital.
Watching my brother’s world premiere of his Seven Family Miniatures — original compositions being played in a live recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music! 🎸🎶
Yoga is deceptively difficult.
Also. Wish I had started twenty years ago.
After spending 20 years commuting up and down the 5 to Disney and Dreamworks, I much prefer my 2021 commute ☀️😊 
The first-ever video footage of a landing a rover (Perseverance) on Mars. Absolutely incredible sight.
My daughter sent this to me - crazy good animation of Richard Williams visiting Milt Kahl’s office…reminds me of working at Disney on Tarzan 😊
Touchdown!! 👽
It should probably not come as much of a surprise to anyone who has been following my work that I’m a bit of a space nerd. That’s why you’ll often find me comparing the observable universe to how we write stories.
Never thought I’d ever be so happy to receive new glasses in the mail @WarbyParker I can see again!
Just a periodic reminder that the greatest thing you can do for your mental health well-being is to meditate daily. Took me 3 months of consecutive days to notice a difference, but after 3 years it’s as non-negotiable as brushing my teeth–and 20x as important. 
My favorite Dr. Seuss book growing up was Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? Sa taps in on the same.
Recognizing thoughts as thoughts makes all the difference in the world. (And being able to share these Moments in Markdown is a GREAT idea).
Fridays. The days I stay off Twitter because I don’t watch The Mandalorian until late at night, and I don’t want the experience spoiled the same way Jason Elliot did in 1980 when he told me who Luke’s father was before I saw Empire.
Probably one of my favorite pages from The Daily Stoic. And one of the hardest to pull off.
Amazingly productive day. Such a difference when you fully commit. 😃
Starting to write again after two months of not writing is not easy. Feel wobbly and uncoordinated, riding a bike for the first time up a hill. Even though I’ve done this a million times before.
“You are identical to what is perhaps the greatest mystery in the universe.”
Thanks, Sam Harris.
Just read the Forward to “Greenlights” by Matthew McConaughey using my best impression of him. I really should have been asked to do the audiobook.
Highlighted is such a great app. Anytime I mark something in Kindle, I add it here as well. Nice to be reminded of it later when swiping between screens—a good interruption in the day’s routine.
Never underestimate the power of the Batman soundtrack during your morning run on a ridge high above your city.
Time is art. Today kicks off the 5th month of the 13 month 28 day calendar. This month is the Overtone month and is all about scheduling life around creativity. Spent the whole day making little changes here and there to Subtext, delightful touches that fulfill my curiosity.
Really enjoying Moments in the @WakingUp app from Sam Harris. I have it set to 1-3 times a day, & regardless of when it pops up, as soon as I see the notification I listen to the 1-min. meditation. Significant impact on the rest of the day 😊
Just realized, yesterday marked my 3rd year of daily meditation (1095 consecutive days). Best upgrade ever.
I wonder what happens tomorrow with the counter. 😊 @calm
The best kind of breakfast is the kind you don’t make yourself.
My iTunes 2019 Replay list is 90% Tony Robbins hype-music and 10% Blink 182. Totally different vibe from 2020 😁
Glad I had a chance to walk across hot coals with 10,000 before that disappeared forever.
Having been inside for three months, this is truly spectacular (Elsmere Canyon in CA, USA).
My favorite writing platform, iAWriter (favorite for over ten years now) works with my personal blog now. Could be reason enough to pick it up again.
Quarantine essentials.
30 years ago I spent New Year’s Eve drawing Jiminy Cricket and ended up drawing for Disney five years later. Tonight, I deployed the latest version of my app on the JAMStack. 12-31 is for dreamers, not wistful regret.
Pretty much the reason why you need to build the change you see:
The shortest day of the year.
My dad would always drive me to Tempo Records on Lyons Ave. in Newhall after a Star Wars movie. Those soundtracks were everything to me, and provided the inspiration for two different careers in the film and television industry.
Now, it takes two seconds from the time my phone informs me of its availability to the moment I tap Play before I hear that familiar fanfare blast.
Life before meditation:
My friend Bobby Rubio made an absolutely beautiful short film that is now on Disney+ called Float. The animation is out-of-this-world subtle and unique, and the story is heartfelt and real.
Haven’t heard this many sirens at once before.

This AI is incredible!
Just ordered my Cortex Ugly Christmas Sweater. Only a couple days left to be the talk of the office!
“There’s nothing on your schedule for the rest of the day.” Music to my ears, Alexa.
Welcome to my sad Black Parade.
Waited 20 minutes online to buy tickets to see My Chemical Romance return and they’re already sold out. 😭
Come to think of it, I’d be surprised if anyone pays face-value for these.
Achievement #34256 unlocked: experience an E.T. style Halloween St. with streets packed with kids and haunted houses around every corner.
Going to be coming here every year from now on (Agajanian Rd. in Saugus, CA).
My afternoons with Sam Harris are turning out to be the best 15 minutes of the day. Waking Up app
