Little things, gaming, I got a job!
Driving back to Kent from Seattle last night, I was struck with inspiration about a plot point in Optinomicon but instead of writing about it, I made a note so I wouldn't forget it, and went to sleep, intending to wake up and write in the morning ( Read more... ) -
Culinary Crimes and job prospects
I did something I should have known not to do tonight; I asked the internet what I should have for dinner. And no, I didn't ask What the fuck should I make for dinner? either. (In case the domain and link text weren't clear enough, there is gratuitous swearing to be found on that site.) I asked some friends in irc, a very limited subset of the ( Read more... ) -
More writing
This week has sort of been fuzzy. I didn't mean to end up in Seattle Wednesday night, and then stay through Monday, but there was an invite for board gaming Wednesday evening and inertia kinda kept me here.
It's been a lot of fun though, and I even managed to finish the second half of the revision of the secret project.
I also helped playtest phoenix_hawk's ( Read more... ) -
Writing Again
It's high time I started writing things down here again.
Yesterday I wrote another rough chapter in Optinomicon and resisted the urge to begin rewriting what's there so far. Following advice from a panel of writers at Mile Hi Con last year, I will finish the story first before rewriting again ( Read more... ) -

A Day of Distractions, yet another recruiter and a titling insight
First the titling insight, since it's freshest in my mind; I think the writerbrain in my head wants to write titles like "A Day of Distractions" that's relevant to the content only after the content has been read, and somewhat descriptive, but not as explicitly descriptive as I want for archival uses. The obvious compromise is to use the ( Read more... ) -
Recruiter troubles
Either the recruiter I spoke with yesterday didn't understand what the position I interviewed for was, or greatly overestimated my abilities and experience ( Read more... ) -
Job Interview, DreamWidth is cool.
After yesterday's post cross-posted to LiveJournal, I realized the entry on my lj wasn't using the default icon, but instead the same icon I used in the DreamWidth entry. I'm guessing it's because they both had the same keyword and DW's crosspost included that icon keyword. This gave me an excuse to upload more icons to DW since I had several ( Read more... ) -
Archiving Comics, TED videos ate Tuesday
After writing that script to find web comics on archive.org, I thought "Maybe I should archive some of my other favorite comics..." and the first one that came to mind was Cup of Suffering. I was introduced to this comic because my friend
