I’m sitting here with seven other guys, knee-deep in pen-and-paper roleplaying. I say pen-and-paper, but it’s more like laptop roleplaying as there’s five laptops in use. They’re in the middle of a combat, so dice are getting rolled and terms are flying like crazy. This particular group has been meeting roughly every other Friday night [...]
I had a good conversation with my mother this morning, in essence laying out some of my mental problems and outlining what I’m thinking of doing about them. It was nicely refreshing to unload some of the baggage I’ve been hanging onto for far, far too long. Hanging onto things is something I do a [...]
It’s time for me to make some wholesale changes, in my digital life and in my physical life. Effective immediately: This is now a personal blog. All business-related (i.e. audio post-production) information will be available at http://www.odiopost.com I have a problem with Pride. As in, I have way too much. I consider myself fairly independent, [...]
In three days the year will be over. Three days. This was both a good year and a not-so-good year: Good: I invested in my toolset, greatly extending my technological capabilities far beyond my creative capabilities Not so good: That was only possible because of a death in the family Good: I attended a music [...]
Earlier today as I was helping stuff goodie bags I overheard one of the workers state there were 2,192 registered attendees this year. I knew that the Rally was big, I just didn’t realize _how_ big. 120 business cards may not be enough. I was a bit surprised this afternoon when I ordered a chicken [...]
UPDATE: Took just 20 minutes to get through security, so now I’ve got an hour wait until boarding. Typing on an iPad is…interesting. I can almost touch-type, but things are just wrong enough to limit utility. But all in all, it works pretty well. I guess I just need more practice. Over the weekend I’ll [...]
In the interest of furthering my career, I realize this site needs a little TLC. Unfortunately, while Web programming is a core competency of mine, it’s not my primary life goal. In short, I want to concentrate on other things instead of designing a fun, interesting and well-maintained web site. So if any of my [...]
The rest of 2010 looks to be a busy one. Zetaman (http://www.zetaman.tv) will continue to be part of the schedule. It will keep me busy for the rest of this month at least, spilling into September and beyond. In the next month or thereabouts, I’ll start working on post audio for a science-fiction dramatic feature [...]
One of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics, the physics of the very small, states that a particle essentially has two states of being: a set of potentials and the particle itself. A very rough approximation would be, say, a season of American Idol. The set of potentials would be all of the contestants who [...]
Just when you’ve settled into a life pattern, something comes along which knocks you out of your rhythm. This has been a constant in my life the last few years. Or, to put another way, the old saw about the only constant being change has certainly held true. Things have been tracking poorly over the [...]
