New Form
For this month, Matt and I have decided to forego the haiku. Instead, we agreed upon a 5×5 form: five lines total, five syllables per line. Not that big of a stretch, but it’s something new.

After Work
Justin and I had a beer around 6 PM. We stayed late, and were messing around with making Flash and ASP play nice with each other. We got a news ticker to work (somewhat), and were both quite happy with the results. We had been talking about collaborating and bringing our mutual areas of expertise together for years, and tonight…
We Are All Alike
Decided I was hungry this morning, and stopped off at the McDonald’s in the Merchandise Mart. I saw a guy in front of me who was a construction worker, but had a piece of cardboard stuffed in his pocket. On closer inspection, the cardboard had writing on it, and I asked to take his picture. After talking with him, I…
Video
It’s not the greatest in the world, but it may give you a taste of what the evening was like. Walking through the crowd (372K) Lighting the Redmoon Theater Sign (487K) Playing with Fire 1 (802K) Playing with Fire 2 (767K)
Final Show
Worked my way to the front and squatted on the ground. For two shows. The first time, I was sitting next to these really cool kids (and their rather attractive mom), and we had a good time joking around. I showed them a few photos I took on my camera, and they made fun of the bolt in my head….
Redmoon Theater
I showed up in time to meet Alex, Dave, and a small group that I didn’t know at all (Travis, Woody, Mariano and Carolina [pronounced Carol-eena]). I didn’t really talk all that much with them. We stood a while outside of Lula’s, and everyone decided they wanted to grab a drink. I walked along for a while, and after we…
Boo… Boo…
Ben and I went out to lunch, which was cool. We got to talk a bit more, and it’s nice hanging out with him. We walked to Panda Express, and took our time meandering through a bit of downtown to get to the restaurant. The entire time we were out, we saw two little kids dressed up. That’s it. And…
If Something’s Worth Doing…
It’s worth getting up at quarter to 6 in the morning, and doing it right. Note to self: For future reference, put on your shirt before you put on your novelty-sized bolt scar.

Happy Halloween, Everbody!
Ah yes. In a few minutes, I’m going to go dig up the clothes I buried a few days ago. Costumes are just way too much fun. If I was this playful every day of the year, I think I’d stress about things a lot less. I’m heading off to the Redmoon Theater this evening, so I’ll hopefully have some…
Nothing Really New to Report
Slow day today, but good. I fixed a few problems that made me feel better about my HTML abilities. Nothing difficult, but the fact that I worked through them made me feel more confident. Spent some time working with ActionScript, and am trying to collaborate with Justin on getting an ASP stock-ticker type thing working. Fun stuff.
Lost
It’s not how long you’ve wandered here, circling. It’s how long they will wait.
Autumnal
Whiskey. Fire. Hot apple cider after sex. Stay warm. Spring comes soon.
Nothing Increases Page Hits Like Nudity
Flak sent me a nice link today. Like a genius, I clicked on it at work, even though I could see what was in the URL she sent me… Be careful here, there’s some nudity! Pretty funny stuff. And for you non-techies out there – it’s some automated php thingy (not sure how it works). But if you change the…
