All day I was watching this meme spread — I first saw it on Clagnut, thence to Hicksdesign and from there, well, pretty much everyone in my blogroll. I waited, hoping for a baton of my own. I languished in obscurity and unpopularity, mentally composing my lists and checking feeds obsessively. Then lo, patience paid… Continue reading Meme: The Musical Baton

A year ago I read on numerous blogs about how great the South by Southwest interactive conference was. How the attendees were so warm and lacking in pretension. How the panels were so informative and stimulating. How the parties were so raucous and energetic. It had solidified its position as the place to be to… Continue reading Obligatory Reflections-on-Suckswuh Post

The blogbuzz is spreading, everyone is announcing their impending departures for SXSW ’05 and asking many of the same questions: who else is going, where are you staying, which BBQ joint is best. I, too, am departing for Austin for the first time later this week. I actually fly in on Thursday because I booked… Continue reading The Obligatory “On My Way to SXSW” Post

Ought Four is no more, Ought Five is alive. This is the time when everyone makes lists. I won’t be doing a year-in-review this time around, but here’s my list of pseudo-resolutions, a few things I intend to do in the near future, some of which I may even follow through with. A major redesign.… Continue reading Obligatory New Year Post

Seems like everyone is caught up in this whole holiday season thing. As for me, I’m sitting at the humbug table, pretty much devoid of Christmas Spirit. I just can’t get into it the way I used to. It’s overexposed, and I’m lashing back. I’ve outgrown the childhood wonder of it, when it was all… Continue reading Obligatory Holiday Post

I had a really strange nightmare last night. The details are kind of fuzzy, but I do remember the gist of it. I dreamed that I had gone back in time, or perhaps been transported to another dimension, it was hard to tell which. I was living in a place filled with millions of mindless… Continue reading Bad Dream
