About This Blog

My name is Michael Natkin, and I live in Seattle, WA with my wife and our daughter. By day I've been a software engineer for the past 25 years, specializing in computer graphics. For the past 7 years I've been at Adobe Systems working on After Effects. Prior to that I worked on 3D for the web and interactive television at SGI and helped bring dinosaurs and Terminators to life at Industrial Light and Magic.

Whenever I have a moment to spare, I spend it in the kitchen or reading about food. I'm currently taking a six month leave of absence. Our first month, my family and I spent eating our way through Israel and Italy. For the next few months I'm interning in the kitchen at Cafe Flora. Here's another article about the internship, over at Seattlest.com.

I'm always happy to hear from you! Please drop me a line at herbivoracious [at] gmail.com!).
