Sony Home for Playstation 3 - Beta Demo @ E3 2008

While Director of Engineering at Millions of Us, my team was responsible for the early US content development on the Sony Home project for Playstation 3.

This early work was showcased by Sony at the E3 conference (video below). Myself and two other engineers spent the bulk of our early development time creating the elements shown here. Specifically the RC Boats shown in the Home Lobby (US), The Sand Table in the “Warhawk” space and the “Mercenary Madness” retro arcade game for the “Uncharted” space.

Goodbye Atlanta. Hello San Francisco.

Some of you may have heard by now that our family’s life is about to change dramatically. Over the last few months I have been able to consolidate our business life to focus solely on the launch of our new company, Storybook Anytime and a new full-time dream job…

Several weeks ago I accepted an offer from the San Francisco based company, Millions of Us, to become their full-time technical director. I will be working on 2D and 3D virtual worlds as well as marketing systems for major brands inside video games and social networks. It’s going to be fun, challenging and ground breaking.

This will of course mean that we will be relocating to the San Francisco Bay area in January. We are currently in the process of house hunting in Marin County and are excited about the opportunities that Silicon Valley brings to both Storybook Anytime, my career and our overall quality of life.

We suspect that we will miss Atlanta greatly but are excited about this new adventurous chapter in our life. My website, http://www.mikejsolutions.com, will be updated soon to reflect all the new happenings and will be a great place to keep up with our progress. There you will find access to our Flickr! photos, Blog and daily Twitter updates in a single location.

Great things are on the horizon!
