…well, I don’t want to say just yet. But it’s pretty cool. It’s a new gig. I actually have a title this time that means something. And you may be seeing more of me than usual….

Patchwork ideas
A lot of people have been linking to Warren’s post “The Patchwork Years“. I thought you might be interested in something I emailed him back in January, which is my take on the ideas he’s exploring in his post. (Which is to say, great minds think alike.) I think this email was occasioned by this […]
RIP Stan Winston
Effects guru Stan Winston dies of cancer at 62 – Yahoo! News Oh, man. Stan Winston was one of my few real heroes when I was a kid — his work on Terminator and Aliens and T2 and Jurassic Park was a lot of the reason I got into movie FX and, later, computer graphics […]
Spore
I’m not really much of a gamer. I was when I was a kid, back in the Stone Age, and I’ve had my periods of obsessive game play as an adult, though it was more linked to specific games (Half-Life, American McGee’s Alice, GTA: Vice City, Tomb Raider) than to a desire to game in […]

Nicotine and Bacteria
(The title doesn’t mean anything, it’s just from a Bloc Party song that’s repeating in my head.) I need to buy more pants tomorrow. Wanna know why? Because I’m down to a size 40 waist, from a maximum a couple of years ago of 46. And I’m down to XL t-shirts (from 3x) and 2x […]
Futurephone blogging
I’m down at the Griffin, using my futurephone to blog. The fact that I’m blogging outside instead of partying inside ought to tell you how exciting my evening has been.
On The Phone Again
I broke down and got a new phone account. Luckily, the security deposit was a helluva lot less than I thought it would be — only $150 — so I now have an AT&T account. I opted for the 900 minute, 200 texts, unlimited data plan, because having push e-mail access on the Nokia futurephone […]
