Benevolence & Banality

I'm hoping the Gods are with me tonight. They appear to be restless. While I wasn't expecting it, Thunder & Lightning have decided to show their faces. I've always loved lightning and thunder, ever since I was a wee lad. Love 'em still if only because they usher in the …

• I was supposed to work on my Dream Journal the other day, but instead wound up getting work started on my next "Jerry's Book" project.

Gluttony

I'm copping out with a horribly short post tonight. ;) I've really been consumed with consumption. Consuming media. More so than usual that is. More and more I'm finding that there aren't enough blogs or podcasts out there for me. When those things fail me, you can find …

Projected Projects > "Dvorak Simplified Keyboard"

I mentioned this in passing in a previous post, but I thought I'd take the time to go more in depth about my latest little experiment.

So I've decided to go ahead and take the plunge and learn how to type using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard layout. For those of you who …

• I had a lousy night's rest last night, which I think I should credit to the huge sugar intake I had yesterday.
• I watched "High And Low" yesterday, more on that in a future "Film Fetish" post. ;)
• I just noticed that when I use the ;) smiley, I tend to wink in real time. …

Latest Love <3 "The New Apple Keyboard"

So if you've been living under a rock, or maybe just not all that interested in what Apple is up to, you may not have heard of their new slick & slim Keyboard. They unveiled the new piece of hardware along with their new iMac revision just a few weeks ago. Of course I …

The Satellite Unmasked!

Hey everyone. Simple post today. I've just been in dire need of a little corner of the web where I could post a photo of myself that wasn't on Flickr. I'm not looking to post any personal photos on Flickr because that photo library is linked to my Virb

• Had to get up early to meet a Building Inspector, who I thought was going to conduct an examination but only wound up setting an appointment for next week.

Explained, "Latest Love"

Here we go again, yet another feature. :P What can I say? I love to keep things organized. When all is said and done, and this blog really starts rolling I'm rather fond of the idea that a reader can easily determine whether or not they'd be interested in a post based …

Explained, "Projected Projects"

I thought I'd throw another "feature" into the mix. :P I thought "Projected Projects" could be a place... or posts in which I could let you in on long-running projects I've been working on, or projects I desperately want to get underway. I've already mentioned my …

• I finally installed iWork & iLife '08. :D Although, I haven't tinkered with them much.
• I also installed Max, which is a pretty …

Decisions, Decisions

I'm really having a hard time deciding where I should draw the line between the personal and impersonal, as far as these posts are concerned anyway. Obviously, all of these posts are personal on some level... so I guess the real trouble lies in trying to figure out …

Bleeding Eye Of The Tiger

I'm absolutely consumed with "Big Brain Academy" for the Nintendo DS. I don't own the system, but I was able to borrow it from my sister over the weekend. Lucky for me Big Brain Academy was one of the first games she bought for the system 'cause it was the one game …

• I've been utterly consumed with trying to "add pounds" to my brain in "Big Brain Academy" on the DS. I borrowed my Sis' system for a while. :D
• My brain weighs 1,290 grams. I've been graded as a B- student. And I've been classified as a conductor. :P
• My left wrist is hella …

Zero Point

By the way, I thought I should mention at the outset of this post how tricky I'm finding it to be to maintain a dialogue on all my online presences. Well maybe not all of them, but certainly this blog. I suppose the problem lies in my expectation of whatever audience I …

Explained, "Jerry's Book"

"Jerry's Book" is the second book in my "Books of The Art" art project series. Just as the first book, David's Book, had a subtitle (The Blue Book), so too does Jerry's Book. It's also known as The Brown Book. Superficially it's so named because the cover of the …
