Shattered Reality

I carved up Yoda on the right, Cassie did the bats on the left.

I wish I was as cool as Josh Scanlan. Check out his brutally sarcastic posts, laced with an asshole preservative, and topped with a layer of “I don’t give a shit.” Oh, and sometimes he has polls. Go check it out, I’ll wait here… Back? Offended yet? Don’t be; he just says what you’re thinking and you’re envious of that, so you take it out through misdirected anger. Not quit crying and go read some more.

Pretty quiet on the blogging front these past few months, “pretty quiet” being a huge understatement. I haven’t been keeping up with my blogroll either. Could go on and on about why that is, but all that matters is I’m writing now.

Let me just say this: Whoever says Macs are more stable than PCs are full of shit. I purchased a MacBook a few weeks ago, and while so far I’m enjoying it, programs crash like I didn’t believe possible. As Seth W. said:

My iBook is giving me more beach-balls than a holiday weekend… at the beach.

Speaking of Seth, he recently plugged my Warped Tour shots on BuzzGrinder. About that: this year I was approved for a photo pass for Milwaukee’s Warped Tour. I have to say, it was easily one of the coolest things I’ve done. You can check out my photos from the event on the Warped Tour page I put up.

I forgot to close Firefox the other night before leaving for work. I came in the next morning and my PC was just crawling from the lack of memory. I’m really glad Firefox 3 is supposed to address a lot of the memory leak issues.

WYSIWYG editors can be such a PITA.

Using the code view, I (unsuccessfully) tried many times to post four Family Guy videos from YouTube, but WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor kept messing them up.

I could post links to the four videos, but who wants that?

Video or it didn’t happen!

Wakka wakka wakka.

Who doesn’t want to be as cool as the guy behind xkcd? In a recent blog post, he decided Ask.com’s viral marketing campaign could use a twist. To help him in his quest, I present to you the following:

THE ALGORITHM CONSTANTLY FINDS JESUS
THE ALGORITHM KILLED JEEVES
THE ALGORITHM IS BANNED IN CHINA
THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY

Thanks to Amy for the link.

I did not get the photo pass to shoot Brand New back in March. Maybe that’s why I haven’t updated in nearly two months: my saddened state has left me feeling less that… writer-ish?

Hmm….. life’s good. Stressful parts, as always, but good nonetheless. Well, except for having strep two weeks ago. That was less than good, contradicting my aforementioned “nonetheless.”

After learning about this GTD craze thanks to Hyaline Skies, I ventured out to Barnes and Noble today and picked up two Moleskines: one regular and one pocket-sized. For a while I have been in great need of a more organized way of keeping track of things; my current method of Post-It notes everywhere has started to take its toll. Save for the tabs, I have my pocket-sized GTD Moleskine all set up, but I’m still debating putting in my own tab for journal/blog entry ideas. I’m leaning toward not doing so simply because I have the larger Moleskine I picked up which will be used as my pen-and-paper journal, which I can always go to for blog ideas.

Today’s Tuesday, meaning tomorrow’s Wednesday… Do I get a gold star for that one? The reason I mention it is because I hope to find out tomorrow whether or not I landed that job at Layer One Media; I have confidence in how I did at my second (first in-person) interview. I know I sort of botched the first question, which was a hands-on display of how I would layout database tables for a store selling DVDs online. Considering I had roughly 7 seconds to think about it, I think I faired okay; that and I got bonus points for erasing it when I was done. The rest of the interview went well, and we saw eye-to-eye as far as salary requirements go, which always makes thing run smoother. I’ll keep everyone posted when I hear more.
