Prayer Cards
Attendees had an opportunity to see our support levels and to remember us.

Poster grads
The exibit for our linguistics school featured a couple of my friends.

Does God speak my language?
Still many languages without Scripture.

Seattle Starbucks
What a better way to cap off the conference than Starbucks in Seattle?

Downtown
A couple of my old friends walked with me in downtown Seattle.

camera shy?
Curtis is a little camera shy; not so James.

View from heaven
Alistair admires the mountanous terrain below.

My pet mascot (Ex 8:2)
Our personal mascots cheer us on. The sticky note reads, "God is blessing Eric! We are so proud of you! Gayle & Stan"

Dan's bird
I try not to mess with this bird's area. He can get territorial.

Steve's Tux
No software team is complete without a die hard Linux representative (and icon).

Howard's Santa
He's either hesitating about jumping off the monitor, or Mrs. Claus starched his shirt real good.

Larry's Fishing Smokey
I don't think the shark has his eyes on your fish, Smokey.

John's Ram
John has a few memory bugs he tries to keep under control.

John's other bug
Don't let this little guy loose. He causes that infamous blue screen and makes you reset your computer.

Pile on Pyle
These critters grow on you after a while.

Positive User Feedback!
Here's what one translator is saying about our new Fieldworks Lexicon & Grammar tool.

India needs translation
Our Jaars team has visited India to assess their needs. Here are some trip pictures.

The Design Analyst's Board
Susanna interacts with users for prioritizing tasks to improve our software to meet to their needs.

Our Batter's Box
This is what's on the board for us to do this week. Each sticky note is a task.

What's on deck...


What's in the hole
Plenty of features and fixes planned for the future.

Bug heaven
When the testers are satisfied that we've killed a bug, we send them to "bug heaven".

Thirsty?
Our new hot/cold water dispenser helps keep us busy bees hydrated.

Calvin
Our new TULIP from Holland is sprouting quickly. I call it "Calvin". :-)

Group Sudoku
Xtreme Programming encourages teamwork and stress relievers. Here's where we try to keep our wits (but often lose them)

A Dell-ightful Welcome!
When I entered the lab my team asked, "Can you tell which computer is yours?"

Profile of my monitors
Notice the third floor window view.

My tree-top view
Only a select few programmers in the world get to see out a window.

Window location
My office is the middle window on the third floor.

The Key Building at SIL
My office is in the Key building, architected as a downsized model of Noah's ark.

My new home
This is where I stay with a friend in Irving, TX.

From home to work
I live about 15 miles from work. Most rush hour traffic travels the opposite way
