twisting up life, indie speed...

Oddly, as the year continues, my free time seems to diminish exponentially. Soon it'll be in an overflow situation. But at least the little pixies in my head are getting fit with all that running around.

There was a story posted on Slashdot yesterday, related to games, that I felt very uneasy about seeing up there. Especially since we have moderated but uncensored comments, allowing the subject of the story to spread, possibly more freely. I didn't make the call to run it, and I can see both sides of the picture, but.. it's just a shame when bad things happen. Nobody wins.

I've been working hard on this synopsis for UnknownProject(TM), so that it can be done and we can go out on Sunday with my old UK schoolfriend Mike, who's in San Francisco with his girlfriend, for purposes of relaxation and extended movie-watching. But I've been pausing every now and again to ratchet through some of the Sundance Channel movies I mentioned I should be watching, to get my money's worth. Good stuff so far - Wave Twisters (when I saw excerpts, I didn't get it, but it _works_, darn it!), Bartleby (Crispin Glover is supremely good at being uneasy), and I Was Made To Love Her (a _great_ documentary about, of all things, Double Dutch jumprope.)

Oh, and the ending paragraph good stuff.... Internet Archive now with 500 megabit connection, and more net.labels up there... the ever-genius Vim! has a CDR out, go check the samples and wonder at his errant sonic ways... beware of the hoop-jumpin' Sonic Hedgehog brain chemical, best protein name _evah_... oh, and the Aleksi Virta CDR is tippety-top too, go get it sold out so we can release the mp3s on Monotonik... :)
