friday random elevenish: “damn these gnomes in my head” edition

01 Mar

I’ve been ridiculously productive this week; I finished fawm with a day to spare, even if I didn’t end up actually recording anything during February. I wrote fourteen songs, and a handful of them have potential, which is the idea. I’m aiming to have a new record ready to sell at Congregate this year, so […]

friday random elevenish: “state of the whatever” edition

23 Feb

Another week where I’m filling in for the boss, and spending too much time on conference calls. This is starting to become a habit, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I suppose it’s inevitable, as so many folks look to me as the substitute boss most of the time anyway, but it’s […]

friday random elevenish: “if it ain’t on a powerpoint slide, i can’t fathom it” edition

16 Feb

So many slides. Over and over. Hours and hours. That’s the story of my week. Couple of big briefings for folks in the rarified air of senior management, plus a handful of training sessions on how to use simple SharePoint libraries delivered to uncooperative audiences, along with all the preparation and editing and run-throughs and […]

friday random elevenish: “it’s comfy under this bus” edition

09 Feb

A week. It happened. The biggest news was the work thing where a couple policy changes and some questionable judgement (at least in the sense of making a decision without all the necessary information) has left a few of the projects I’m working in doubt in terms of funding. To be entirely fair, the underlying […]

highs and lows

06 Feb

The past weekend and several days on either side of it have been kind of a roller coaster… First of all, the big birthday party for my lovely spouse went off amazingly well, both in terms of remembering how to host events, as well as “beta testing” the new house space as a music venue. […]

friday random elevenish: “yes i know it’s not a groundhog” edition

02 Feb

Let’s just say that I would really rather not have this week repeating over and over; it kinda sucked. Lots of stupid work drama, an unpleasant flirtation with the illness that the rest of my family was dealing with last week, a bunch of disappearing mp3s, and a bit of self-inflicted stress as we prepare […]

friday random elevenish: “annual assessment time” edition

26 Jan

The previous week was, for the most part uneventful apart from some periodic occurrences hitting their intervals. Got a bunch of work stuff done, including actually using my B.S. in Education(!); prepping a lesson plan and teaching a class on certain bureaucratic processes I’ve managed to become the expert on. I also had my annual […]

friday random elevenish: “boss week” edition

19 Jan

I was only in the office for three days this week, after wrapping a kick-ass first year of ConVivial, where I had a whole bunch of shows, panels, quality time with friends, pleasant conversations, and maybe one or two too many drinks, though all that other stuff got me more than my share of steps […]

friday random elevenish: “twice the church” edition

12 Jan

As you’ve read previously, I’m off at the first edition of ConVivial in Williamsburg this weekend with folks like my band-mates the Blibbering Humdingers, my friends The Salacious Crumbles, and interesting new acts like HipHopMcDougal, along with the usual writers and artists and cosplayers and vendors and geeks of all aspects. That said, I’m still […]

promo: convivial 2024

11 Jan

As I may have mentioned, I’ll be attending as a guest at the inaugural edition of ConVivial, the new convention on the block in Williamsburg VA. For the first time in forever, I won’t be at Marscon* for…reasons, though if that’s where you’re going, have a great time, and say “Hi!” to all my friends […]
