I am beginning to see why his shows are so fucking expensive… I must see this act live.

Friday Fiction: Grief
June 5, 2009 · 3 Comments
I think in July I’ll upgrade to allow for onsite storage, so I can (eventually) podcast. For now, I’m sticking with my Me.Com storage space.
This most recent Toastmaster speech was on grief, with a tribute to my mom and dad. The sound quality isn’t great–we’re still working on that–but this is my Friday Fiction.
I should have spent more than two hours working on this speech. It shows in the conclusion. If I ever redo it, I can dedicate at least another thirty seconds to it.

How Did I Miss This?

I’m not sure how I missed Google’s Wave but I did. Bit of an epic screw up on my part, especially considering its linked here (and I to be included in Will’s Google Wave Game).
On their sign up page, they asked for comments, specifically requesting haikus. I obliged them.
Google Wave Project
So much to hope for. And Yet
Might be made of Fail
Wave might be awesome. It might be a shiny new toy. It may fail completely. Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing more of it.

Fuck Mellow
May 28, 2009 · 5 Comments
Last Friday, Shannon said jokingly, “Aren’t we supposed to be listening to more mellow music now that we’re getting older?”
I said it then and I’ll say it now: Fuck No.
To be fair, my taste in music is always changing. I get band recommendations from friends, music reviews, Pandora and, of course, NPR, but I do not want my taste in music or my convictions to “mellow with age.”
I hope to expand and keep an open mind–like I have with my music–but I do not want to mellow my opinions. I am trying to understand more, and increase my exposure to varying view points, but I do not think I would actually be myself if I mellowed.

We got a package today from Falconesse and Gharr, full of books. My productivity at work and home has taken a terrible hit. A wonderfully terrible hit.

Cheney

I am currently waiting former VP Dick Cheney’s “results” from the Beer trials. He is using “enhanced taste testing methods” to ensure that it is safe to drink beer in the shower. Once he emerges from his crypt/bunker, I’ll be able to finish the post.
