I just made the deal that will put me back to work… which is good fir my savings but it’s definitely a holding pattern type job.
If I’m going to alter my life I’m going to have to dig in deep,…

Twitter is starting to feel like one of those parties where I drank too much and now can’t remember who I was saying what to.
Wresting with procrastination. That should eat up some time. Heh.
No real shock: Green Lantern is my pick of the week.
Twinkle updated last night. Trying again. I hate Tylenol hang overs. All the bleh of booze, none of the fun memories.

Around a year and a half ago I read Steve Pressfield’s “The War of Art” during one of my periodical “bootstrapping” phases. Within the pages of that book Pressfield gives a name to the writer’s…
For all of two seconds Twinkle knew where I actually was… But then it went and lied. Goodbye you dumb thing you.
This “Spencer” kid is too “evil” to be real.
Oh lookee here now. Twinkle

Like the pathetic fanboy that I am I was at the Apple store on the opening weekend of iPhone 3G sales. Unbeknownst to me at the time I was jeopardizing my unstable savings by toying with the…

During my morning troll of teh interwebs I found this little gem over at The Huffington Post
You know, no matter how disgustingly rich you or I may ever get its highly unlikely that we’ll ever…
"We"
A few weeks back a friend loaned me a copy of Yevgeny Zamyatin’s “We”. It’s the spiritual predecessor to Orwell’s 1984 and if it isn’t a direct influence on Lucas’ THX-1138 I’ll eat my hat.
There’s a kind of grace to this image of dystopia that Orwell didn’t try and Lucas failed to match. Not that the old man didn’t come close. In...

A week ago I was in the midst of what I was calling my Bat-Hajj. Three screenings of Dark Knight in 24 hours. Now, seven days and nearly 300 million dollars later I’m still thinking about Chris…

Sometimes you can’t manage to get the life to make sense, but you can keep of in motion. Today I feel, well I feel like a lot of things, actually.
Part idiot. Part hero. All loser.
No no….

Oh geeze, where to start?
It always seems to me that when I start down on any given path the first reactions I get from the planet are curveballs. They’re never “Man, I didn’t think of that”…

All ready to settle in to an evening of audio work on the latest short I realize that I’ve frakked up big time.
I forgot to load the B-roll with the ambient sound while I still had the HD cam in…
Anyone have a pill that will download the contents of Variety into my brain?

The problem with the new mobile app is a combo of autocomplete and the lack of a decent spellcheck.
Well that and the fact that I’ve managed to deal up my finances something fierce. Drastic…
Bureaucracies exist to crush hope.
To pulverize it. Ground it into dust and shit on the remains. To deny its very existance. Make you beg for submission as salavtion.
There’s a better way.

Christ almighty.
Today went totally off the rails. In some good ways, at least.. and some not so great. Start with the bad:
Fucking hell but the app store is pissing me off. I started…
Lots of random run ins with out of touch friends. Too bad I don’t believe in coincidence. Or is that “good thing”?
Why does Twinkle think I’m in Fairfield?
Ladies and gentlemen: our Bat-Hajj has ended. For now. Back to our regular programing.
I only get this crazy once every few years.
IMAX here I come!
Verizon is playing more than fair with my sloppy record ass self. I’ll miss those guys.

Annnnnnd we’re off to another rocky start here at “That Guy” HQ. Of course, it would have helped if I had taken into consideration the fact that having the super laying down a new floor in the…

Life, despite our best efforts to hermetically seal ourselves in technology and bubble wrap, does not happen in a vacuum. As any real genius will tell you, even the most novel of ideas are built…

Oh sweet Gods, yes!

Culture Is Conversation: Prelude →
While I was uneasily wearing the crown of “Online Editorial Consultant” I spent a lot of time thinking about just what, exactly this new media age means to us as a culture.
Now I’m only (heh)…
