It’s been announced by everyone, and the date’s been set. I’m moving to my new department on April 8th, leaving behind only three projects. The rest are coming with me, which is what makes this so odd. First, I didn’t go looking for the job – it came to me. Second, I’m going to a […]
My good friend and incredible illustrator, Jon Morris has come up with illustrations for FlatCat, the Colostomy Kitty. Now, I just have to write the book…
Too much thinking this morning, so it’s straight to the gutter: Do you know what’s worse than diarrhea? The ominous gurgling undertones of diarrhea. I mean, if you’re coming, loose stool, let’s get it on. But if you’re just going to rumble and not show up, then screw you, I don’t have time for it.
One of my sister’s friends that we met at the ArsDigita Prize weekend last summer asked me yesterday to think about marriage and post something here. I’ve thought about marriage pretty much every day since I got married, over four years ago. That’s a relatively short amount of time, but in that time, I’ve learned […]
David Byrne‘s Look Into The Eyeball is grrrrrrrrrrrr-eat. I got it from Jen’s parents and I can’t stop listening to it. Every song is perfectly layered. If I turn up the volume, there are small nuances that I didn’t hear before, and every listen exposes some new inflection or chord I didn’t hear before. Mr. […]
My birthday was great. I got a copy of Emergence finally and can’t wait to get started. Jen made her amazing lasagna, and mom made an unbelievable chocolate cake. My friends at work got me a peachy Princess birthday card, and someone else at work did something very cool for me that I can’t tell […]

Holly Hunter Mookie Blaylock People who died on my birthday (kind of depressing, […]
Holy crap! (scroll down to the bottom) They’re remaking Barbarella AND turning Knight Rider into a movie? The world is coming to an end. I can smell it, and nothing can turn it back. The polar ice caps are melting, people won’t stop blowing each other up (which, really, when you get down to it […]
You’d think the day would feel different, it being the anniversary of my birth and all. It really doesn’t. I did get a celebratory omelette this morning from the cafeteria. It was good, but it wasn’t an R2-D2 cake. I feel like taking it easy today. I want to play some UT, work on something […]
Yes, you heard it here first. I’m pale and I’m okay with that. I joined a bowling league last night. I wore rented shoes and threw heavy orbs at unsuspecting wooden shapes, in the hopes of knocking all the them down so I could receive high-fives and well-meant congratulations. I’m a middle-class white guy who […]
