Blogenning Theme Of the Week: Costumes

Part of the fun of the Blogenning is that once a week someone chooses a topic for you. Some weeks it’s incredibly easy and some weeks you have nothing to say about that subject and just have to roll with it. This week Tom has decided we’re talking about Halloween costumes. I’ll let you decide where this...

In Which I Fail To Understand My Relationship With NYC

I went down to NYC this week to to visit Rachel and celebrate her birthday with her. A tremendous time was had in the process. I took an early morning Amtrak train down on Saturday morning, arriving around 1pm. I had about 5 hours to kill until I needed to be at a restaurant in Brooklyn, so I decided...

Things I Learned Today

At work: The mail server we use as part of our server environment is, in fact, scriptable, but only exposes a COM interface. I now get to figure out how to hook in to it from C#, and pray that I can write managed code to talk to it in a sane way. Energy Option Swaps are...

Ira Glass – The Gap

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Every time I create something I think about this. I think it's because, even though I've done a lot of creative work, I still feel like I'm working my way across the gap. I feel a bit like Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade when he has...

Experiment

Experiment. Have fun. Bend the rules. Break the rules. See what something will do. Life is too short not to mess around with things and see what happens. However, don't hurt anyone else by doing it, and try not to hurt yourself. Try to learn as much about what you're about to do as you can...

Blogenning Theme of the Week: Birthdays and Growing Up

This week's blogenning theme is a little more open ended that the last, in an effort to acommodate people who aren't about to have, or haven't just had, a birthday. It seems a good portion of the Blogenning members have Birthdays in these next few months, myself included. I turn 25 this year. I have...

State of the B – August 2010

I figured, since I've been gone so long, that I should probably post an update on a bunch of things. Far From There will be going on a 3 year hiatus while Jeff goes off to grad school. We may play shows when he's back in town from time to time, though. Jeff is going...
