Snow++

This is a view of my yard, from the front door. The square pot thingy was always a good indicator, when I was growing up, of how much snow had actually fallen. Backyard view. My parents have a few pines on the property that, if they were given more to the holidays, would make for some great big Christmas trees….

Dan in Concert

I learned that my friend Dan Frick (who I’ve known since middle school) will be back in the States over the holidays, and playing a show at a bar in Broad Ripple called the “Jazz Cooker.” He’s been living in Japan for some 4 years now, and it’s been a good decade (god, what a horrible unit of measure) since…

Homeward Bound

Heading home for the holidays. Working remotely this week, so I’ve got a laptop from the office (decided to bring along my keyboard from home, as I hate typing on a laptop). Ever since I started to do Flash for a living, my hands have become too accustomed to a traditional keyboard. My folks bought me one of those ergonomic…

Office Gifts

Gifts were given out today at work. And I must say, they were good gifts all around. Everyone was really into their presents, as well as the ones that others received. There was a lot of passing around and ogling, which is always a good sign.

My feet setforth deliberately, an…

Yeah, the poem below I posted almost a year ago. But you know what? I like that poem a lot. And so I’m posting it here again.

Suddenly I’m a Popular Guy

I got a call tonight from Matt, one of the many folks involved with the You Are Beautiful project. While I was unable to meet him for drinks tonight, we made plans to hang out post-holidays. He mentioned some project coming up in the summer, and the thought of collaborating in any way leaves me rather giddy and excited. Chelsea…

ektopia

I need to confess. I’ve been stealing links from ektopia the past week. This is one blog that I’ve stumbled across that I really do dig a great deal. There’s good content, and it’s updated daily. Consistently good stuff, and I find myself getting lost there. There aren’t a lot of blogs out there that I frequent, but this has…

Loop

Tracked down a copy of Jim Caroll’s People Who Died. Been looping that for a while now.
