As I was considering the categories I wanted to assign to my previous post, I noticed one of my tags was interesting.
As if, in any sense of the meaning of interesting, I’d consider any post of my own on this blog uninteresting. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to assume that whatever I decide [...]
Isn’t it about time for one of these posts? You know the kind. And if you don’t, you will know it by the end, here. If you manage to stay for so long. Let’s see what’s happened in the past ten months.
Big things:
Monica and I moved to San Francisco. Fun trip, came close to killing [...]
Warren Ellis recounts the difficulty of shaking many hands in a short period of time.
When I graduated from the University of Washington, I walked across the stage and shook the hand of the President of the University. He winced as I shook, and I thought to myself, “Wow, do I have a booger hanging out [...]
I’m flying out to San Francisco tomorrow for a bit of business in the big city, and our publisher was kind enough to book my flight for me. The 7:10am flight out of Austin on United is apparently not the most popular, as there are a tremendous number of open seats. That’s fantastic, it means [...]
I need to clean my house. I really do.
But instead, I’ll clean my blogs house. Har!
This is a note that I’m changing my RSS feed URL, because I have plans, man. Big plans. And I don’t want to be hampered.
Anyway, if you’ve never subscribed to this frequently-updated, contentful blog’s RSS feed, you can now and [...]
Uh oh, stupid shit alert. School administrators at El Camino high school in Oceanside, CA, thought it’d be a smart idea to bring in highway patrol officers to announce that several students had been killed in a drunk driving accident, as a way to ’scare straight’ students who may think about drinking and driving.
“They were [...]
I noticed today that my blog was down–a database error that was quickly fixed once I actually noticed it wasn’t available. However, this probably isn’t much of an issue, as I didn’t actually hear about it, which leads me to believe nobody else was actually looking, and the people who would be looking are probably [...]
Starbucks had apparently been paying shift supervisors out of the baristas tip jar. So a judge in California rules that this is illegal practice, and the company has to pay baristas the tips back, plus interest.
Starbucks claims that this is unfair to shift supervisors. That shift supervisors should get to share in the tips.
Can one [...]
Gamasutra posted an article about a panel at GDC: The Future of Story in Game Design. Pop over there, read it, it’s interesting.
Well, it sounds interesting at first. And then you read it and realize that the panel was full of bickering developers who couldn’t present a cogent argument about the topic without taking cheap [...]
Saw this on Warren Ellis’ blog, a Steampunks Guide to the Apocalypse.
