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.

Intro

It's been a wild ride. 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 was the architect for the Flash Player. (Or as some people call me, the "Flash Player Guy".)

Resume

I like programming, computer graphics, and leading engineering teams. My resume. And I also believe in one page resumes so it is fast to read.

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.
