I’m particularly proud of the turn around for this video. From start to export, turn around time was roughly 3.5 hrs. Getting better!

A Co-worker’s Farewell Gift
J’s a great guy. Ultimate frisbee enthusiast and great teammate.
A few months ago when J left for a vacation, my team decided to hook up a mouse to a really long extension to his computer. One of my coworkers made sure we didn’t use a wireless because those have register devices pop ups every once in a while (apparently he’s done this before). J and I have a half wall separating us and after J came back from his trip I wiggled the mouse. He got really tripped out and called one of the guys (who was in on it) over to see if he was seeing things at which point I stopped moving the mouse and our team had a good laugh.
Except we sort of didn’t tell him what was really happening and sort of forgot the mouse was still connected. A few days later I grabbed the wrong mouse and heard a “what the…” followed by a “bang bang bang” as he slammed his mouse a few times on the desk. Should have stopped there…but we sort of didn’t.
It’s been a few months now, we’ve had a dozens of opportunities to stop. J’s leaving for greener pastures so as a farewell gift we revealed our mischief.
Now that we think about it, is he leaving because of us?! Oh man, we hope not. Gonna miss you J!

ILMN Dodgeball: Video Recaps
Swear these should be the last ones I post. Part IV has epic intros. Unfortunately, I have no idea if anyone got footage of the finals or the illuminati challenge.
There’s a pissing contest going on…
One of the downsides to beating your boss’ boss’ boss in dodgeball is having to hear from time to time how close they were to beating us and how it came down to a lucky bounce here or there. Lately he’s resorted to dropping by, issuing challenges of rematches and what not…so I decided to remind him who’s champ.
I deliberately placed my trophies facing outwards so if you’re walking along the hall you’ll glimpse them. It’s just a subtle reminder to my director every time he passes by that he lost at the hands of one of his underlings.
Apparently he noticed, and not one to be outdone…check out his desk today. Badminton trophies from an executive bonding event…tempted to make a shuttlec__, large trophy quip here. Guess i just did.
So I grabbed the 2012 dodgeball team trophy…and yeah, it’s on!
anyone who sees this without knowing the backstory is going to think i’m a pompous prick. oh well.
