Well, though I worked a bit more on Quiet, I didn’t erally do anything else today. I didn’t have the energy; this illness seems to be draining my energy quite a bit more than I’d expected. Keeko, our cat, being cuddly And now, I’m working on a drawing exercise: I’m trying to draw three human torsos, every night this week. Tonight’s torsos are turning out terribly poorly. It’s […]

I’ve been struggling a lot lately. I’ve been struggling with myself. When I was about thirteen, I was introduced to pornography. Unfortunately, my parents never discoverd this, and though I knew that I was being vaguely naughty by reading trashy romance novels for the naughty bits or skimming through a nudie magazine, I never renounced this practice. I rationalized my behavior; I knew that I would look down on this sort of behavior in others, but […]

Ugh. I’m getting sick, I think. I had a good day, but not a particularly productive one from the perspective of my various projects. This whole week has had rather low productivity, really.

Liam has written an excellent rant about the state of the music industry. It’s sad when an entire industry provokes commentary like this, especially when most people seem to agree with it.

It’s funny, in a way. A year ago, I would have been flagellating myself over a day like today. Now, I’m rather pleased with myself. I made little progress in any of my projects today. After being sidetracked by implementing a new window in Juggler this morning, I only wrote a page and a half of Quiet material, and was thenceforth creatively stalled. I also made a trip to my gastroenterologist and did some grocery shopping. Doesn’t seem […]

I’ve posted a review of Boogiepop Phantom DVD 3 to Points of View. This disc contains some of my favorite episodes in the series. Joel Spolsky has posted another interesting article, entitled “Nothing is Simple.” He makes a wonderfully common-sense argument for designing code before coding it, and manages to address two major arguments against it: a confused Extreme Programming perspective and some issues Linus Torvalds has brought up. […]

So yesterday, there was this big ad in The Washington Post about a tech career fair being held today (Monday). I decided to go, partly because I don’t like to do job fairs and I don’t like to promote myself, making this a perfect opportunity to outgrow those childish attitudes. So I printed off a bunch of resumes this morning, drove to the hotel where the “tech fair” was taking place, filled out […]

And now Saalon’s reminded me of a story series I tried to write awhile back but never moved forward with. It was to be a continuing story about a group of…well, imagine Cowboy Bebop set in a fairly cheery post-apocalyptic world, where people are rebuilding a very quirky society out of the odd remnants of the old. A series with bounty hunters, weird adventures, a lot of humor, and all that sort of stuff. I’m […]
