Australia: Ablaze
Seventh sent me some pics he took, back when Australia (Canberra in particular) was hit with all those fires. Some really great images in there.

Love/Hate
My parents called me up tonight, and we chatted for a while. Got caught up on my grandmother’s condition and, though she’s still going through some tests, things seem to have settled down more. She’s eating regularly and still coughing a bit, but from the sounds of it is improved from last week. Then… my…
Flexibility
Justin and I got into this great talk about how we should design Flash-based projects for the whole network. Until I got to Emmis, I was good at making one-off solutions. Each time someone wanted something, I’d be able to build it. But since working with Ben and Justin, I’ve started to try to stretch…
Blind Spot
Tonight, I went to see a movie with Justin and Emma, and met up with Alex, Sonja and Hennie (spelling?). We all went to go see Blind Spot, a documentary focusing on Hitler’s secretary, which was showing at the Music Box. My oh my, what a gorgeous place. And we didn’t even see the main…
404 Doodoo Error
The system is down, yo.
Information Manipulation
Stayed and worked a bit late tonight. Trying to play around with a lot of arrays, and figuring out ways to "sort" information. I’m not sure yet whether I need to work with multidimensional arrays or not… but it’s been fun trying to figure this stuff out. Discovered the Array.sort method. Interesting stuff.
Good Talks
Chatting with Grumpy, seventh and Juliet all at the same time. Some good, good conversations tonight. Funny, insightful and comforting… all at once. I’ve got some cool ass friends. :)
Nostalgia, 1.0
After this thread on twelvestone, I got into this really hysterical IM conversation with rypunked. We started posting links to old television shows and movies we remembered, and it sort of went like that for a good long while. Anything from Pinwheel to Captain Caveman to The Shirt Tales to Count Duckula to Lode Runner…
No Studying, Yes Drinking
Yeah. Did I call it, or what? :)
Zaireeka, Revisited
I saw Dave yesterday, and he brought me the recording he made when we all listened to Zaireeka at Stu’s house, some three months ago. Been a little while! As a summary, Zaireeka is a four CD album made by The Flaming Lips, and it’s designed to be played using four separate CD players, all…
Psychobilly
This is the thing about having cool Internet friends… they make fun shit like this without even blinking: Tiger Army: Cupid’s Victim
How These Things Start

Mr. Grumpy: (Link)Mr. Grumpy: hey i can mock this video up in a cool retro jukebox surround if you want to link to it on your blog :P Mr. Grumpy: get ppl into psychobilly Mr. Grumpy: i’m doing…
You Bastards!
So a long, long time ago I got a copy of The Chemical Brothers‘ Loops of Fury as an mp3 file. Loved it. It’s one of the songs I play whenever I’ve got to get a lot of shit done quickly, a good song to play if I’m meaning to crank a lot of things…
One Of These Days I Need To Make Hard And Fast Rules About What Does and What Doesn’t Get Capitalized In These Titles
There’s a Little Bobby Fischer in All of Us
Walking home, I ran into one of the guys that work at Sam’s Liquor’s. He was just standing outside, smoking a cigarette. I think his name is Scott – I’m not sure. I’m going to call him Scott here, until I find out otherwise. Anyhow, I saw Scott playing chess with someone else that worked…
