Livejournal has been pissing me off for some time now. I'm not going to update this any more. I like having an online journal, and will continue to have one, but just not here ( Read more... )

Eris made a movie. I helped, obviously, but the concept, story, dialogue and shot framing are all hers. I mainly edited it (with her sitting on my lap and approving my work) and did some voices.

Needs Quicktime 7 for playback. Don't complain at me about that. :)

Eris's friend, Amy, is over for a visit today. I'm sitting down in my office, listening in amusement, as two four-year-old girls play games and draw pictures. It seems my presence is not required, unless they manage to click the wrong button again, and the doll-maker website gets lost, or if I need to deliver another massive collection of pens and ( Read more... )

Has it really been eight years?

In an effort to get over the whole jaded feeling of still keeping the same site going after all this time, we've relaunched Grouse for its birthday. It won't be a relic of the 20th century any more, as we're dropping the whole "site of the day" concept and expanding out a bit. "Dog and Bone" will finally have a home ( Read more... )
