In all that time I've never had more then 3 weeks off at one time. I'm betting most people reading this are in the same position. 2008-03-12T18:21:00-06:00 http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_shawn/blog_detail/iphones_get_real_games_oh_and_an_sdk/ http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_shawn/blog_detail/iphones_get_real_games_oh_and_an_sdk/#When:19:18:00Z It looks like the iphone may finally be at a place where I would buy it.

So I thought I'd check out what came with it and what was in the works by the community. 2008-03-05T20:29:00-06:00 http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_shawn/blog_detail/im_finally_back/ http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_shawn/blog_detail/im_finally_back/#When:15:26:00Z Hi everyone. Once again, I am sorry for the long delay in my posts. After the birth of my son I thought I would do the right thing and take a couple months parental leave to play mister mom.
