Now array'd technology doth reveal The blessed interconnectedness Of the great and glorious glasperlenspiel , Indra's Net made manifest .

Got to see two people I haven't seen in a long while, mbartell and knitknut . Jen and I caught up to them on their honeymoon tour of Texas. You know how there are some friends you used to know that you're glad they don't come around anymore? These two are not those people. Very happy they took the time to come back the next day when I wasn't there the first time. They took us to the...

I've been tooling on an idea for a short film off and on for a couple of years. I finished storyboarding it not too long ago and I’ve been filling out the dialog and all that lately. Inspired partly by La Jet é e , partly by Jim Munroe’s advice , and mostly by lack of resources, I’m shooting the whole thing with a still camera and assembling it in Premiere . Now don’t accuse me of going all avant...

As of twenty days ago, the gavel came down on the divorce. As of nine days ago, I am thirty-four. And according to the political quiz my old friend Philip sent me, I'm  a " Left-Leaning Freedom Lover " which I guess puts me somewhere between the monkeywrenchers and NORML. Should I get a subscription to Do or Die ? High Times ? Grist ? On the plus side, J's one too, so I guess it all...

Once again, for J's birthday I made a five-course dinner. But this year there was an added challenge: my father was visiting and so not only was I cooking for three, it was also requested that -- he being the Francophile that he is -- that the menu be French. The First Course Mushrooms topped with wine-soaked breadcrumbs and bleu cheese. The Second Course Onion soup with baguette...

After reading the interview with Henry in Computerworld , I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody I know is way more interesting than I am. For example, Dirk teaches music at the Bilgi University in Istanbul. mbartell and company do super-nifty stuff up in Eugene. Brand designs video games last I heard. I have friends who are retired Marines, inventors, musicians, writers, decorated...

Didn’t finish NaNoWriMo this year. Didn’t even come close. Big surprise, eh? Put another shrimp on the barbie of started-but-never-finished projects. I thought I had it figured out this year, too. Stream-of-consciousness, typed as fast as I can think it, caught on wax at the same speed it comes to me, edit later. Gonzofiction. Only trouble with that method is you actually have to sit at the computer...

Woot! There's an interview with Henry at ComputerWorld! Go Henry!
