Gotta get my grammar police quota in. @muunkky Maybe boo is onomatopoeia if you consider the sound used in surprising or expressing disfavor an utterance and not a word itself you are real you exist you are sane you’re alive you’re impressive you’re important you’re smoking because you’re real http://is.gd/5lPk Can’t wait to play Fallout 3 this weekend.

I’m guessing a conference t-shirt does not fall under the nifty cateogry. @lectio What if I get a conference t-shrit hexed by an accredited witch doctor that will instantly turn your enemies into zombies? Baking pumpkin muffins for my daughter and her baby crew at the daycare while listening to new Squarepusher album which is double plus good.

One of my favorite games to play before leavning for work is ‘Find the Matching Plastic Container Lid’. Remarkably devious those lids. This EP will pull out your brain+spinal chord, show them to you, shove them back in backwards, and you will like it. http://is.gd/4Wc8 Where did the future go? William Gibson found it on the side of the road in the 80’s and keeps it on a Apple IIe 5 1/4 floppy disc. @splorp I followed suit “happy cloud” wise and added a dialogue balloon that says “Do your best!” I often wonder why they don’t call Batman “BM” for short.

Resurrection of the Semblance of a Blog Thing

I haven’t created any blogy content since Russian spammers helped themselves to sublimated.net and theeducatedmachine.com when I let the domain registrations lapse (see the dated flash animations that lived at theeducatedmachine here).

Worth another go. Commencing brain dump sequence.

Check me out.
