Danna Staaf My lovely girlfriend has become my lovely Wife. What more could a man really ask for. We share a love for the extracurricular, from hiking to cooking to debate and crafts. Danna's blog is not to be missed. She loves to write and it shows. Carl Staaf Carl is my brother. He worked with me at Green Hills for a year, but now he is back in Seattle playing Jazz and coding up a storm. Check out some of the projects he has written. Carl learned to program faster than anyone I know. And he is a very clean programmer. I guess it runs in the blood. Carmen Staaf Carmen is my sister. Carmen is also an amazing musician, composer and arranger. She recently graduated from the New England Conservatory and Tufts University in Boston. Just the latest in a string of achievements that I am very proud of. Rus Heywood Rus, was my roomate and coworker and is the author of DevWiki and devtools.org. He recently wrote a rather addictive little game. You can find it on his page. By far the best feature is that you are in competition with everyone that plays for a spot on the high score list. Matt Wronkiewicz Matt was my officemate, and is a good friend. He builds robots and furniture in his spare time. He's also into astronomy and space power. He's has many good links on his page. Shawn Brenneman Shawn is a good friend of mine that I met while working at Metacreations. He is a flash god. No kidding, he can do things with flash that would make you cry. :) Just check out his page for an example. He really should get a better page up with more demos though. Mike Herf Mike and I went to CMU together. And ended up moving out to Santa Barbara when we graduated. He eventualy convinced me to go work for Metacreations. That didn't last all that long though. We did do some fun programming while we were there. Mike and I both love to program ultra fast graphics hacks. Mike is probably the best tweeker I have met. Tom Lokovic Tom, Noah and I were great friends in school, and I wish I had more time to spend with them. As it is I only make it up to the North Bay a few times a year. Tom works for Pixar, the lucky guy. He is also a graphics hacker, but is one of the more creative people I know. He loves word play, and has written many anagram engines, as well as haiku and prose Noah Gibbs Noah is one crazy guy. And I mean that in a good way. After all, just look at the source. :) He is always doing something new. Be it massage classes, or hypnosis, Noah finds the time. He also bakes and brews. But thats not all, this versatile kitchen aid is also a great programmer. He was part of the Metacreations team for about the same time period that I was. Noelle Price Noelle is a singer/songwriter friend of mine. She can be found performing at Elsie's and Cold Springs Tavern. Shes a great singer and a very cool person.
