Hey guys.....

So I went to the cast and crew screening of Iron Man last night. I think for the most part it came out pretty good. In the final credits I was listed as being in the "Model Department" of our shop instead of Electronics, but I guess I should be happy that I made it in the credits at all as many of my coworkers who should have been in there got left out.

If you guys go see it and want to find out what our company built on Iron Man here's the list:

-Iron Man Mark I suit and integrated mechanics.
-Iron Man Mark II suit.
-Iron Man Mark III suit.
-The big Crimson Dynamo suit.
-The two industrial robots at Tony Stark's Lab that assist him (surgery assistant robot, video camera robot, fire extinguisher robot, etc.). These were actual hydraulic robots that we operated remotely.

If you go see it I hope you enjoy it. If you don't see it now in the theaters that's fine because I don't get any "cut" of the proceeds, but when it's shown on TV or when you buy a DVD you would be helping me pay for my future mods on the car with the residuals.....so I'm counting on everyone to watch it on Pay Per View and buy the DVD when it comes out. J/K

I can't wait for the blockbuster movies coming out! Iron Man, Speed Racer, The Hulk (again), The Dark Knight, Hellboy II, and Indiana Jones.

I'm pretty sure Speed Racer is going to be campy and stupid as hell, but I loved the cartoon. Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go!!!!

The last time I was at the theaters was for Transformers. And the time before that was about 1.5 years. Tough to get out with the baby so we always used Netflix. The problem is, I've never heard of most of the movies on Netflix so I have no clue which ones are good. haha

Dylan is going to love Speed Racer. Cars, cars... vroom... Having you as a father, he's going to expect the e60 M5 as his first car.

We actually have date nights but usually it's for dinner. Just gotta fit in a movie here and there. We're fortunate that we have our moms who can watch our son at night so my wife and I can still party. I think we actually go out more than a lot of people who don't have kids or are single.
