Earlier this week, we set up some new user accounts for people. We did this for a variety of reasons, but the main ones are that people have asked for accounts, and we wanted to try something new. Now, for another variety of reasons, we have shut down some of those accounts. I was never [...]

Last night, Annie and I and some friends from the radio station drove to Seattle to see a band we found out about by accident. St. Germain is an amazing French jazz/techno act. We had all listened to the CD which is amazing techno with jazz influences. But the concert was more like a jazz [...]
They just cleaned the windows in the office where I work, and there’s apparently a good-sized ledge outside the windows, because we look up and there’s this guy standing out there, three floors up (with fairly high ceilings, too), washing the windows with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

I know by muscle memory everything it can do. Vector graphics. Bitmap graphics. Transparency and fill-modes on both. All palettes accessible via [...]
You know, shit is just getting ridiculous.
I am extremely excited for two reasons. One is geeky, and the other is actually really cool. The first (and geeky) reason is that my new computer game, Black & White, paid for with my first paycheck from my new jobs, will be here by the end of the week! The second reason is that [...]
Friends, I have seen the light! After carefully reading a pamphlet given to me by a man at the bus station, I have been born again, and I am making changes in my life. I have renounced my wicked ways, and I have taken a vow of celibacy to atone for my former sins. And [...]
Holy Crap
I had to go to three different churches today ranging from cool to tolerable, to un-fucking-believable. (no offense to anyone who happens to belong to a born-again christian cowboy church..)
