random personal stuff

[rwx]

so, tonight:

I'm going to Ignite Seattle this evening. You should check out the event description if you're part of the Seattle tech community.

After that, I'm probably going to go see Attrition. danceable electronica mixed with classical. You may wish to avail yourself of this product and/or service.

resolved some questions about the electricity last night with the help of mrsloane, who's a cool guy willing to answer electrician questions on the phone for me, which i greatly appreciate.

Please to be punching Bre Pettis in the face for me and the 1000's of other people annoyed by his overhipstered, hand-waving boggle-eyed vids for MakeMag. We don't do stuff because he manages to fill us up with cartoony enthusiasm--we do it because it is cool and fun.

OK, I know you can't do that, but at least give him the stink-eye. Thanks.

depending on whether or not i get cat bath, laundry, dishes, cleaning carpet and paying bills done, i might join for this. i think my intentions are pretty optomistic though. somewhere in that mix, i also have a dinner party and hennaing my hair which is a good 3-4 hours of wearing a plastic bag on my head, GRiN so i'll give it a good 11.2% chance.

hah. you may be able to do this yourself next time.

you should start a 'calm the fuck down bre pettis' advocacy page, or remix a youtube video.

i met him for the first time last night. he seems very self-consciously hip but not a bad person in person.

Jumping Electrons

Curious: what sort of problem did your electrons seem to be having? I take it they have been appropriately counseled, and are now moving at a steady pace from one atom to the next, and back again. Assuming of course you have AC vs DC.
