  • Arg! I will be in Santa Barbara meeting the gf's fam for thanksgiving ;/
  • I use anti-sad lights from Sun Lan in my living room. I have them on from when I get home (6-7) until 8pm. They've worked well for me.
  • My favorite thing about getting out of the web business (for now) and into Industrial Design is not having any time tracking anymore, and very light PM software. And I get to work with badass cabinet makers ; )
  • Congrats!
  • I voted yes on 92 as well despite internal conflict. I reasoned that if GMOs are labeled, then maybe companies will be forced to discuss them and educate the public, which is better than trying to sweep them under the rug and distract, which has led…
  • I haven't read IJ, but I think the pro-tip is to rip out the end with all the end notes, and carry it around like a 2nd book. I have been reading cheesy detective novels about Sherlock Holmes, and an auto biography of that sniper guy they are making…

  • http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-south-carolina-trooper-shooting-20140925-story.html Cop charged with felony assault. Fergussen chief apologies (too little too late, but something):
  • It is fall as hell right now! I am excited! Bike riding around TBA, bringing a (gasp) jacket!!!!
  • I am leaving my post as Project Director at Mile7 (usability stuff and websites) to manage projects at Guild. Getting out of digital for a bit (kinda). I'm looking to replace me for them as they are super nice people. email me for deets or if you kn…
  • I also love that doc, but haven't played any of the games. I think Steam is a really cool company. It's neat to see them turned what seemed to me (as a teenager) the easiest to crack media item into a thriving and profitable industry for both the bi…
  • @Tom
  • I've been thinking that there should be a web-based PG-13 "dating sim" from a lady friendly perspective that young boys can learn on. Kind of like Sgt Star. It would show how catcalls are dumb and that listening is good, etc...
  • I had such a nice crisp ride to work today. Totally fall! Except for this weekend, which will be Summer as Hell. But I am so down!!!
  • I am confused about the weird dangerous sexism and threats around #gamergate. I am not involved, but some of the screen caps of blog posts and emails I have seen are really disturbing.
  • Deer is the new black

  • Gah! @FaceTweetPlus the machine is dead. Looks like I'll be taking this on sooner rather than later. I have to practice for a show though, so maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
  • Omigawd you guys, I'm so sick of CEOs being judged on their looks! CEOs have the right to be judged by their lack of empathy and indifference to others. (jk)
  • Also Sean Hannity. Esp when he talks about how when he is stopped by the cops, exits the vehicle, and lifts his shirt to reveal his pistol. Fucking stupid racist dumb shit SOOOO ANGRY!

  • @FaceTweetPlus I am SOOOOO interested in a build party. I build modular analog synths, so I'm pretty confident I can hack it and I have all the tools, but I've never done it before and a build party would be supes fun. A slim case to fit in with the…
  • @faceTweetPlus what kind of gaming PC are you rocking? I have an old dell slim studio computer that I use to watch movies via XBMC and some gaming, but its a bit long in the tooth and I need to build/buy a new one.
  • Meanwhile, FOX is spreading some "news" that runs 100% counter to video evidence: "Missouri cop was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown, says source" So fucking angry right now. The cop doesn't look beaten in this video: http://edition.cnn.co…

  • "as resources deplete." Interesting. I wonder if the (baffling to me) white support for the police is a result of a perceived future threat from the disadvantaged rising up as inequality rises.

  • haha. I think I am just showing that I am always optimistic : )

  • Read Stiff to get an idea of the nightmare of health care and surgery pre 1900 (no anesthetic). This is also a good book about how there is less violence today than ever before: The Better Angels of Our Nature. Sawbones is a funny podcast about medi…

  • I am reading that the police have been relieved of duty and that highway patrol is taking over. Too little too late, but it is the first time I've seen acknowledgement that police as a whole have overstepped. I can't recall LAPD, SFPD, SPD or any ot…

  • Advice taken! It was echoed by others as well. Good, now I don't have to change my dumb site: newpathcommune.com
  • Yeah the online feed has been really screwed up lately. CONSPIRACY!!!!
  • haha @Alex my many many hours of listening to the scanner has actually made me feel (some) sympathy. But yes.
  • I'm not crazy about the new gig, but I love biking down the spring water trail to sellwood. Today I saw two deer, just 20' away. It was pretty great.

  • Pickle tip: The pickles at City State are super good! I always ask if they sell them and they say no and apologize, and then bring me extra pickles. I like dill pickles as well, I am a pickle fiend.
