Gifts From Geekery Gods!
I was given a gift today from my Family Doctor, Augustine Yip.
Dr. Yip is one of the three doctors who put together a little video game development company called Bioware. Their first efforts of video game development included Shattered Steele and Baldurs Gate. Later developments of the company include Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
The gift I was given today was a Star Wars Storm Trooper Coffee Cup that Dr. Yip was drinking coffee from while he was negotiating Bioware’s first multimillion dollar deal with Treyarch.
I understand that a lot of people will think I am the biggest geek on the planet for this one but that mug is now part of my geek collection and holds a very high standing within that collection.
I don’t know of many people who get gifts from their doctors, let alone one that is in my mind a huge collectors item. I am very honored to be given such an awesome gift!
I have resolved that I will not use this mug until I am in negotiations for a multimillion dollar deal with my company. I have hopes that I have as much luck at that point as Augustine Yip., Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk had with Bioware.

| Interests: | Sex, but thats not why I am here. Fishing is a close second to sex till spring when fishing season starts, then sex takes a back seat for a couple days. |
| Music: | Mixed and varried. Pretty much anything but country. |
| Movies: | I have a collection of a few hundred movies. It is about 1/1000 of what I would like for a collection. I am a movie junkie. Some of the must watch movies: Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Aliens, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, The Usuals Suspects, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Joe Dirt (great sound track) the list goes on. |
| TV: | Lost, House, News |
| Books: | Douglas Adams - everything he wrote from Hitch Hikers Guide to Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul. W.P. Kinsella - Fencepost Chronicles are a must read for everyone. Dan Brown - The concepts of his books are good even if the writing in the older ones are in question. |
| Games: | I play on everything. From the old Atari through to the new "next Gen" stuff. We have a game colection that is well over 500 titles. I love FPS's but get hooked on RPG's from time to time as well. I will play just about anything. |
