in 10 years, i'll be 48.
My daughter will be 17 and finishing up highschool, looking at heading off to university....
my son will be be 14 and in grade 9 or so....
i guess i picture myself doing what i've always done...working on interesting projects, hopefully working with the same people that i'm with now...
i picture myself trying my best to stay current with the latest advances in tech....while i don't handle development myself, i have an insatiable appetite to read just about everything on techcrunch, mashable, engadget and a few other techblogs...
i've got a few irons in the fire outside of my office, extra curricular projects etc...i have hopes that some of them will turn into modest successes.....on the fantastical side of things, i also see myself making movies.
i've been a voracious reader my entire life..mainly sci-fi.....
for a long, long time now, i've had this vision of making movies of the many books ive read over the years....
i have this notion that the software needed to animate characters, make sets/locations, have dialogue etc will probably be a lot more accesible in the future....imagine 'kinect' or project natal for xbox...but able to grab a fairly decent mo-cap of your performance, and translate it to a character on screen....that sort of thing....
imagine being able to make 'enders game' the movie, and have it actually look fairly close to a hollywood style budget, kind of vibe....but just done on your home computer using over the shelf technology...
anyhow, i've had that in my mind for years, and every year it seems to me the tech is getting closer to being able to achieve it....
i figure in 10 years time, i'll be able to peruse my list of sci-fi books and pick a title and over the course of a year or two make a fairly enjoyable movie of it....i think that would be an absolute blast as a hobby.....i also picture my wife and i sitting in our backyard, enjoying a swim in the pool, and generally being happy....which i usually am anyway....
