Trying Harder Things

by Josh at 9:55 pm

Some things are easy; other things are hard. I’m realizing that Linux is easy (at least for me.) Being super non-profit technical guru is hard. Guess which one pays better.
All this is to say that I got my three-month evaluation at work today (after working six months; gotta love nonprofit time.) I knew this job [...]

Online Graphic Novel

by Josh at 4:34 pm

The Thanksgiving weekend has given me the time to finish watching the twelve hours of flash animation that is Broken Saints. I heard about it a couple weeks ago because of its upcoming release on DVD and it sounded interesting. Plugged as “graphic literature” it’s an online graphic novel that many were comparing [...]

More directors for upcoming movies

The AP reports that James Cameron is directing a new movie based on the Japanese manga Battle Angel Alita. Since I know nothing about this particular manga, I will talk about James Cameron’s return to directing after seven years.

Josh is on the boston.com all the time and as a result, he keeps an eye on the real estate in Boston. When he finds one that is brick (since I’ve pronounced that I would never buy a house that wasn’t), he shows it to me and on Friday he found a brick house [...]

Movie version of Watchmen lands a director

by Josh at 12:45 pm

Reuters is reporting that Paul Greengrass, director of The Bourne Supremacy is set to direct a film version of the graphic novel Watchmen. How you feel about this probably depends on three things.
1. How you feel about a Watchmen movie in general. I always have mixed feelings about books being made into [...]

World Wide Weirdness

by Josh at 1:56 pm

I found a couple links over at Boing Boing today that must be shared. The first has just left me speechless which a website hasn’t done in a while. It’s just… well, I guess you need to see it for yourself.
The second has to do with super heroes. Aparently, we all need [...]

I just set spaghetti on fire…

by Susannah at 6:45 pm

Josh’s response was (in the voice he reserves for absolute incredulity): WHAT!?! How did you do that?
Long story short…I spilled it when putting it in to the pot and was
too concerned with the pieces on the floor to notice that the pieces on
the stove were in the flame.
Josh and I took baths this morning because [...]
