Contact Me

If you’ve taken the time to click onto this page, that means you’re contemplating sharing something with me, or asking me to share something with you. I like sharing. I would really like it if you would take the time to fill out the form below and make that connection. Maybe we’ll become friends.

Maybe we’ll discover a mutual animosity and we’ll become life-long mortal enemies. We’ll throw ourselves into the work of destroying one another for decades until finally, on our death beds, we realize how ridiculous it all was, and we reach for the phone to call the other, and we get a busy tone, because through some strange synchronicity, our last few moments are playing out simultaneously, and we have dialed one another at the same exact moment. Even phones in the future cannot connect that call. Why doesn’t call waiting work? I don’t know, I’m not an expert on the phone system. Anyway—

So we are dying, bitter and full of regret for what we have become: hollow people, filled with nothing but the sloshy hate for one another, but unable to remember the reasons why. But then, just as the darkness begins to crowd in, we’ll remember –it was the contact form. The contact form. THE CONTACT FOR—….

    Does the New York Times article on Steampunk mean the genre/fashion craze has made the high water mark and will begin to recede from here? What is the shelf-life of an aesthetic movement, and for that matter, what is the sociological force behind this particular movement?
    It’s a Stylistic Rebellion
    Particularly as an aesthetic [...]

  • Anatomy of a Steampunk Photoshoot 11:20 am May 1, 2008
    Filed Under: Featured Resource, Photography, Top Post, Tutorial

    This was my first serious shoot with logistics involving a model, costuming, and a shoot location. To spend an hour and a half behind the camera, I spent probably 4 hours doing the various administrative tasks to set up. Here’s an overview of the process we went through to get the pictures I wanted.

  • Clay Shirky and The Cognitive Surplus 2:02 pm April 29, 2008

    Continuing on the thoughts of yesterday’s post, I’ve recently read Clay Shirky’s speech, “Gin, Television, and Social Surplus.” You can read a transcript of it, or watch a video.

    Filed Under: Web Design/Javascript, Top Post

Last night, I worked for over 6 hours simply [...]

    Filed Under: Speculative Fiction, Top Post

    Sci-fi rant: Why giant mecha robots are stupid | Geekend | TechRepublic.com
    Jay Garmon has written a very well thought-out article on why giant mecha robots are stupid and will never work. I am afraid I must provide a counter to this article. Giant mecha robots are also totally awesome, and I think he’s wrong. [...]
