Electric Ephemera

It would seem that I've all but abandoned this quasi-permanent blog in favor of the very ephemeral Twitter and facebook. Part of that is because blogs are simply not as good at capturing thoughts as they form. Part is laziness.

Part is that I'm not in a position these days to live up to the level of candor that a blog requires.

Quick life update:

  • We've been in our new home for about a month, and it's wonderful. We're a stone's through from the most woodsy area of Prospect Park, and have gone on a number of extended hikes. The kids (and the parents) love the backyard. The commute isn't noticeably different. And you can't beat double the space.

  • Work feels like 2001 all over again with this financial climate. But unlike 2001 where we all saw it coming a mile away (too many dumb companies cluttering the market, not enough ad dollars), this came out of nowhere and feels more... panic-inducing.

  • I'm leaving at 3pm today to take the kids trick-or-treating. Asher is dressing up as the evil Hacker, from the PBS Kids show "Cyberspace."

    Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Outtake or Asher Stream-of-Consciousness?

    Please put on dress-up like a dentist because you’re doing an x-ray. Please sing the song that you know. Now whatever you want to do you can do. Please sing and play your guitar with your pick and everything else that you want do.

    The x’s above are so that you know how to do an x-ray and so that the computer knows where to take it. Please go wherever you want to go or to the zoo or to the pond or to our house every every every single day around perfect green. IT means that you can pick whichever color you want.
