I took part in a teleconference with Eric Kripke, creator and Executive Producer of Supernatural, lastnight. It was fun and amusing and enlightening. Talking with him made me squee, cuz he loves his show and that enthusiasm is infectious. He was asked questions about: a potential love interest, John’s fate, Sam’s powers, Dean’s amulet, Dean’s […]

Max and lots o’ tv talk
Today is Max’s birthday. He is the big 7. I can’t believe it. He is such a handsome, funny, smart, and thoughtful boy. He is in the first grade and has classes in art, music, PE, and Spanish. They also have library time, computer lab time, and SEARCH instruction (like GATE). I am like, when […]
TV time
Veronica Mars tonight, baby! 9 pm EST on the CW.\ Watch it!
I Could Use Some Good News
Is there anything that doesn’t suck right now? I mean, really… anything. The bad news keeps piling up, and I’m looking for some hope in here, and it’s either not there, or it’s buried under enough bad that digging for it doesn’t really feel worth it.

I’m meh for football
The Redskins won, which YAY! But they won in overtime, which practically negates the win in my mind. The NFL keeps making minor changes to rules (to get higher scoring games, imo) but they need to focus on the OT rules. Football is about offense and defense, with one half working to get the other […]
Yo
Dudes! Other people like Supernatural too: Supernatural Premiere Review.:\ bq. Against all odds, “Supernatural” is just plain cool. But the show isn’t cool in the way of hip, well-dressed prime time TV stars aspire to be. Instead, “Supernatural” is its own kind of Americana cool, with classic rock tunes blasting out of an old beat-up […]
The Culture Warriors’ Inner Battle
This whole thing with Mark Foley is insane. Not only was he the head of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus, but he sponsored more than one bill on child abuse. A 50 year old man was propositioning a page… it looks like more than one. Was it an intern? No. Was it someone […]
Tips for Young Developers
This has been a crazy week. I’m tech leading a huge project with a crazy hard deadline, and to be perfectly honest, most of the stuff I’ve tech lead, while large projects, have had fairly small teams and dealt with systems I knew inside and out (it was all in the AOL Search days). This […]
Supernatural
The Supernatural season premiere was awesome! Did you hear me squeeing last night? The best premiere of the year, and probably even the best of the past few years. I watched the season one finale right before the premiere, so the continuity, action, and emotional confrontations were muchly appreciated and enjoyed. I practically shouted “Hell […]
