Partner in company making portable, lightweight, wireless, full-body motion capture systems used by movie studios, game companies, animators, and sports bio-mechanical analysis.

Small company. About 40 developers doing hardware, software and middle-ware algorithms. Rooms full of PhD's who know how to create and build.

Wrote a very bad (or so I thought) novel ten years ago based on real-life events and people I knew 35 years ago. Recently won the lottery, so to speak, as a real producer and real studio bought the story this year and it's being made into a real movie for release next year. So, I have a part-time job flying back and forth to Hollywood for screenplay meetings and lunches on patios with people who wear sunglasses. I still can't believe it.

  Let us know when it comes out Rolex.  :aok

 :lol Cool!  Yes, let us know when it comes out.  Also, can we get the novel from Amazon?  (Is it "I Flew With These Weirdos," by Rolex?  ;) )
