| Welcome
to the web pages of Lee Thomason!
Web pages
are a wonderful opportunity for creativity and sharing,
but tricky to keep up to date. So some of this is new,
and some is old, and it's all just here. Enjoy its strange
journey through information and time. |

Bio
I'm a professional software architect who works in San Francisco. I'm happily married, and enjoy rock climbing, swimming, photography, kites, and experimenting in software. The latter has lead to being the creator and maintainer of a couple open source projects: an A* pathfinder called MicroPather and the popular XML parser TinyXml.
Work
For a while there, I was writing video games for Berkeley
Systems. A wonderful place to work, with some incredibly
talented people. But I got a case of wanderlust, so I took off
to work for 3DO writing Playstation games.
(Specifically Army Men Air Attack.) But dropped-in-my-lap-out-of-the-sky
opportunity came up to go to work for a startup, Middlesoft,
where I did secret start up stuff. We were bought by Macromedia
and Macromedia was
bought by Adobe. I've done
many jobs for Macromedia/Adobe, but primarily am the Flash Player Architect. (Or as some people call me, the "Flash
Player Guy".)
Flash is incredibly exciting. We're getting ready to release version 10, and we still surprise our customers and ourselves with what we are creating. I'm very proud of the team and what we are doing.
Resume
My
resume. I believe in one page resumes.
Grinning Lizard
Grinning Lizard is
a place for experiments, open source projects, and at one point
was a software company. Almost everything I program is for work,
of course, but it is fun to play around without the constraints
of a schedule or testing. Check out projects
for the results of some of that experimentation.
I have archived
the web pages from Grinning Lizard's earlier incarnation in
a sort of virtual museum, and of course this includes info and
screen shots of the video game, "Bug Eyed Monsters from Outer
Space."
Art
I also archive
my artwork here (although it has not been updated in a long
time.) Enjoy! A couple of pieces - "ecstasy" and "gargoyle"
- are quite popular judging from my web logs.
