Now close the windows and hush all the fields; If the trees must, let them silently toss;No bird is singing now, and if there is, Be it my loss. It will be long ere the marshes resume, It will be long ere the earliest bird:So close the windows and not hear the wind, But see all wind-stirred.— Robert Frost (1874

Two weeks since my last update. Yeeeeeesh. The relatives left. We had a good time. I’ve made some minor updates to the space opera diary. I’ve been updating my About.com site. A little. X-Men was a great movie. So was Gladiator and Fantasia 2000. Check out my reviews of same on Points of View. I’m going to Otakon 2000, a major anime convention held in Baltimore, August 4–6. Should be a lot […]

Work is going fairly nicely. I certainly have plenty to do, and it’s all well-defined. I’ll also be meeting with the head of PERMS tomorrow to talk about improving documentation. I got home around 6:45 tonight, and spend about an hour updating Focus on BeOS. Then I was able to shoot the breeze on #beos on EFnet, and just generally relax for a little while. My parents and relatives were at my grandmother’s house, so I had the house […]

Work is starting to get heavy again. I’m actually at work, now, to do some testing. As a result, I’m missing CardCaptors (a.k.a. Card Captor Sakura). :pout: I’ve been terribly behind on doing stuff for my About.com BeOS site, and with working today, I won’t be able to get much done on that. Maybe on Sunday, but I like to take that as a day of rest. Arg. I’m spending some time fiddling […]

Well, I had a great time with Brennen and Saalon this weekend. We came up with a fantastic idea for a massively-multiplayer online world that would be way too ambitious for us to be able to fund. But we’ll probably put together a design document and post it somewhere. We also got the chance to watch Project A-Ko, Galaxy Quest, and Tenchi Muyo in Love together, all of which we enjoyed. […]

It’s time once again for your favorite game show, Spot the Looney. Now our first segment comes from an online description of the latest issue of the magazine FHM: In an age when 10-year-old kids use the F-word more often than Joe Pesci in “Goodfellas,” America’s innocence seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird. FHM is here to tell you that innocence isn’t extinct; rather, actress Alicia Silverstone […]

A new episode of NieA Under 7 is up. Also check out this guy’s page; I don’t know who it is, but s/he draws like Yoshitoshi Abe. Beautiful stuff. I went to work yesterday, along with practically everyone else on PERMS. This is not a good sign. I’m planning to have a little talk with the head of PERMS tomorrow. We had a lovely dinner last night; […]
