Perspective
I didn’t go to sleep. Instead, I was in the living room and happened to catch the last part of The Center of the World (New York: A Documentary Film). The more I watched, the more I realized my whining, my complaints, my petty concerns are just that… petty, insignificant. I am luckier than most….
Bah
Work was work today. Nothing fun, nothing exciting. I’m fielding a lot of Justin’s calls, from here until March, as he focuses on a serious redesign of how our sites are structured (from the ground-up). A few network problems towards the end of the day. My phone was ringing a lot more than normal. I…
The Winner
Dave ends up winning the game. Justin got four or five pieces, and I managed a late rally to end with 3. Overall, the questions are incredibly up to date, and the overall gameplay seems to have gotten easier. Towards the end of the game, we were all losing a bit of steam, but it…
The Winning Answer
A: Jesse Ventura
The Winning Question
Q: What U.S. govenor urged citizens to give up newspapers for talk radio, calling it "less stressful"?
Trivial Pursuit: Backyard Edition
I swung over to Justin’s, and got to play a round of Trivial Pursuit (the 20th Anniversary Edition) with him and Dave. For some reason, I had a really difficult time getting the cards to slide out of that fancy contraption they have with this edition… Yeah. That’s right. I graduated from college and yet…
Technically…
Every day that passes, scientists are closer than ever to curing cancer. Another day goes by, you’re another day closer. They wouldn’t even have to do anything, and they’d be a day closer. Justin and I were talking about this on the phone today, and he announced that he’s quitting smoking as of tomorrow. I…
Going Over Old Notes And Poems
In addition to the poems I have on my computer, I also keep word docs that contain mainly notes: scribblings, thoughts, one liners. These note files are typically a mishmash of things for me to remember for some future point when I actually go about the task of writing the damn poem. I’ve got a…

Behind The Scenes: The Creative Process
Mr. Grumpy: what’re you up to? Portnoy: meh – surfing around, trying to think of something for the blog Portnoy: reading penny arcade Mr. Grumpy: hmmmmmmm Mr. Grumpy: i’m trying to think of something cool for your blog, too…. Mr. Grumpy: i read in Wired today that they’re closer than ever to controlling, if not…
A Day of Reading
Off and on, that’s all I really did today. If it wasn’t a book, it was digging around online. For most of the morning, I popped into the forums, looking for Flash questions I might be able to help out with. Dug through other peoples’ .fla files, and read their code. In the afternoon, I…
After Life
Jonathan Clark : After Life. I like a lot of the images here, as well as some of the Flash work. I’m not crazy about some of the eyes inserted into the pictures, but the subtle masking and motion are quite lovely.
Dead Letter Office
A mixture of funny and sad: The Dead Letter Office.
Walk Home: Deviation
On my way to my apartment, I noticed that a small space called Sound Gallery, (which up until now had been covered and hidden from public view) was open. Slightly drunk from Holiday, I walked in and took a look around. Next thing I know, I’m talking to both the owner and the guy who’s…
