So I watched 2010 tonight since my local Blockbuster doesn’t seem to have 2001. This is a drag for several reasons. But for several other reasons, I’ll live with it. 2010 is good enough in it’s own right. Potential spoilers below: First and foremost, it stands well enough on its own. You get enough of […]
From ’round the web (in this case: MacSlash): Bare Bones’ Yojimbo personal information organizer. What’s this doing that StickyBrain or Voodoo Pad isn’t? Granted, I can’t speak much for StickyBrain. Never used it. Don’t see the point in that kind of system. (Maybe I would if I’d used it?) I’ll stick to Voodoo Pad, which […]
Slashdot post asks (in a nutshell): Whose responsibility is it for training, anyway? Yours? Or your company’s? To run the risk of sounding like some cliche: It depends now, don’t it? If the technology is something proven – – and by “proven” I mean it’s something the company already knows that it wants you to […]
Except for a couple dreams and lame quicky link-out posts, it’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Yes, it’s true. All sorts of hectic-ness have kept the posts to a minimum. W/o giving away too much, this has been both good and bad. Now to make up for it: a series of short posts…
Relief is realizing that despite having run over what appeared to be a mattress on my drive home, I am (in fact) still alive. The sad (??) irony is that I probably would have avoided the drama all together had I been riding the ass of the truck in front of me. Then maybe the […]
The game is hyperreal. I’m inside the game but I know it’s a game and the game’s iconographics are present. It’s part Neverwinter Nights, part Doom, part Zelda, part Go. There’s no hovering symbology for my “life” or “energy” – – I just feel hurt or not. It’s dark and I’m in the interior of […]
At just under 300 pages, I keep asking myself: “How much longer until I finish out the rough draft of this damnable novel?” I’m convinced that every would-be novelist hits this point sooner or later. Especially if s/he is working a full time job to pick up what non-publication leaves behind. I’m convinced that it’s […]
So is anyone else just plain sick and tired of this freakin’ story? To me it’s just another chapter in the s/he said s/he said po-mo mythology of who said what when why where first and whether or not it’s all that original and/or (re?)mix-worthy in the first place. Statement one: The Postal Service’s video […]
Somehow I’ve come to meet up with an old friend who lives in a part of town (some vague post-industrial city) that is less than savory. I’ve parked a few blocks away, met up with him, and followed him the rest of the way to this, his apartment. The apartment itself isn’t all that bad; […]
