I've been loitering around Steemit for about a week now and it seems like a great community, so I figured it's time to do the intro...
I was born in, and live in New Zealand and have the pleasure of actually enjoying my job at one of the best movie FX studios in the world, where I have worked for over 10 years doing clothing and fur simulations. Yes, that's a real a job. I also do feathers.
I don't want to make this too much about work, but as luck would have it, they just released a feature on the character I was responsible for doing the fur and clothing simulations for. If you are interested, please say hello to Bad Ape (I also did the orangutan fur)
I like trying new things and usually have little project (obsession) on the go... About 10 years ago I started learning Spanish, just because I wondered how hard it would be. This led to making spanish speaking friends and eventually marrying a Spanish woman and having 2 bilingual kids who already speak better Spanish than me at 4 and 6 years old.
These little monsters are quite amusing, so I may post some of their more amusing quotes.
We are currently in Spain for our yearly vacation and I plan to blog a little about that.
We generally hang out with family rather than visit tourist spots, so it wont be the usual 'tourist' blog but it will help explain this clip of me taking a swim at a bodega...
I'm generally interested in health and fitness. As I age it's all about injury prevention and longevity (gym and kitchen) so I can enjoy being a father to the fullest.
I'm also very interested in advances in medical science, specifically stem-cells as my daughter has a few medical issues one of which leave her with very limited vision. With stem cells, they are hoping to be able to regrow the eye within 15 years. Amazing!
Recent mini-obsession include...
- optimizing sleep (Most advice is impractical - will blog my discoveries)
- kombucha (SCOBY so ugly, yet so tasty)
- spine health (sitting all day for 20 years is bad!)
- cryptoCurrency (I was going so well, but it's crashing now!)
- Steemit (Lets see how this goes)
We also have a cat, and since the internet loves cats, I'll finish with a picture of her.
See you round steemers!

Hi ita-soa, copying and pasting the same comment onto all introduction posts might not be the best idea here...
I think I'll decline, thanks

Don't be shy about posting work stories. It sounds like you've got a fascinating job.
Looking forward to New Zealand and family fun stories, too.

Unfortunately security is pretty tight and projects are top secret until released, so I'd get fired if I said anything.
Not even sure I'm supposed to talk about that party with a jacuzzi... oh man, that was messy.. too many naked workmates for me...
Anyway, all I can say is that I'm looking forward to this final installment of Planet Of The Apes. I think they are the best movies we have been a part of in the last 10 years.

I hope you don't mind me dropping by, but after discovering a fellow kiwi resident I wanted to drop off an invitation to our NZ group. We'd love to have you join us, and be able to take advantage of our team upvote bot and other group things. :)
