REAL MAIL! A Month Long Challenge.
Do you remember the days when you used to get things in the mail other than bills? When was the last time you wrote someone a REAL letter (outside of Christmas card season?) An internet friend of mine pointed me to Mary Robinette Kowal’s post on A Month of Letters challenge. The idea is simple – in the month of February, commit to mailing one piece of correspondence for every day of the month...

Back in college, I may or may not have run an mp3-sharing FTP site off my computer that was registered on Oth.net.  My roommates downloaded bootleg “cams” and “screeners” through IRC, and we watched them on a modded Playstation that could play VCDs. I thought nothing of it; we were poor college students.  Everyone was doing it.  This was the age of Napster and college-wide network shares. In my...

I'm making a video...
…and I could spend WAAAY too long in this video editor.  This is fun, but I’m a little scared it’s going to be more fun for me than it is for people to watch it.  I guess we’ll see.

…but all I’m getting this morning is a caffeine headache and a desire to go back to bed.

If the falling rain was coffee instead, I still wouldn’t have enough.

That "8 Things I've Done You Haven't" Meme
Ran a mile in 4 minutes 20 seconds. And no, your “4:20 Mile” isn’t quite the same thing, dude. Skinny dipped in the Dead Sea. Gave a graduation speech as co-valedictorian of my high school. Ruptured my Achilles tendon. (While dancing.) Got hit in the head with a bike lock chain (while trying to dribble a basketball). Wet my pants during computer lab in elementary school and...

Happy Happy Joy Joy
My wife is asleep - I’m going to go give her a kiss and hopefully refrain from waking her in the process.  It’s 2012. Time to learn a new memory routine for writing the date. Time to make a bunch of bogus resolutions that I won’t keep. Time to appreciate spending my life with the woman and kids I love and hoping this year will be as good or better than the last. Good night and...
