Justin and I stayed late at work. We were trying to turn around (and quickly at that) a little idea we had kicked around, and something that Rey had mentioned earlier in the day. Justin was eager to work on something that combined our respective strengths, his database backend and my Flash. We were talking…
Today, work started with this really funny, really interesting talk about how "giving people the finger" has evolved over the years. Not ten years back, giving someone the finger involved two arms, a big production where the left hand was placed on top of the right arm, as the right hand formed the finger. And…
Ingrid and Megan invited me to crash at their place for the Baltimore conference, but since I hadn’t really done much since the last one… I felt weird about attending. MaryAnn tells me that the next one might be in Chicago, so we’ll see what happens between now and then. At the very least, I’d…
Ahhh hahahaha! Holy crap. I did some digging around and here’s a brief summary of what I did in New Orleans. This trip was before I had the blog going, so no complaining!
So for the past two years, I was a part of the AWP and participated in panel talks. In fact, I actually moderated one and participated as a speaker on another. But last year, since I had taken a big step back from working with multimedia and writing… I decided against going to the AWP…
I got a phone call from MaryAnn tonight. Man, I’ve been really bad about keeping in touch with folks I know in the city. MaryAnn invited me out a long while back, and it’s been way too long since we’ve hung out. But – in our catch-up converastion, we talked about old MFA friends from…
This is me, relaxing on my porch with a beer after work. Prior to this, I stopped off at Reckless Records and picked up a copy of Mum’s "Finally We Are No One." I had it playing on a portable CD-player, inside the apartment, pressed up against an open screen window. The sun was just…
Today was a cleaning and laundry day. Everything is slowly getting cleaned up and back into a semblance of order. Got some clothes washed, scrubbed up the bathroom, mopped the floors some, and vacuumed the living room. I was on the phone a few times today, and each time was pretty awful. The idea of…
I’ve got nothing. Sorry.
I never learned HTML. I still don’t know it. I got exposed to WYSIWYG’s early on, and learned enough to create a page that could house/contain my Flash .swf files. When I started getting into computers, I threw myself into Flash and that’s about it. At work, I’ve started to delve into code more, but…
256MB added! Woohoo! Now I’ve got a whopping 512MB! Can you feel that speed? Can you feel how fast things are… eh? Oh, that’s right. You can’t tell any differ… *cough* Carry on.
Today, I found myself wondering if I was ever going to get married, ever going to have kids. The idea of turning 30 has started to creep into my brain as an eventuality, and I know I haven’t really come to grips with that idea, head on. A lot of friends that I know are…
My friend Alex has a very amazing girlfriend named Linda, who runs a few restaurant/stores up in Green Bay (at least, I think it’s Green Bay). Rumor has it she’s moving down to Chicago (woohoo!). And something I discovered about a month ago… she’s been going around Chicago-land, trying to get establishments to buy her…
Actually, I’m finding the constant variations really rather exciting. I keep going back to the previous versions, to see if, indeed, things have changed. And they have. :) hahahaha! Holy crap! The police tape switched! I don’t know what’s scarier – the fact that I noticed this, or the fact that someone actually took the…
