I dunno… but whatever I play, it gotta be funky.

Updated the Photos section (the friends link now works, and yes Jordan, I added those photos), threw some quick info in the Code section, and fixed some missing FONT tags.

I don’t think I could ever deal with being in advertising. Of all the ads I see , over 90% are total crap IMO. I don’t think I could ever deal with lowering my creative standards so low that I would have to turn out such utter crap just be cause that’s what the client wants. My favourite example is McCain’s ongoing to tally lame campaign. I have never, ever, ever seen a decent McCain’s commercial . Ever. I really don’t think Roberto Alomar or Elvis Stojko can sell fruit jui ce, or telling people that concentrated orange juice contains the juice of 16 or anges really matters.

Lots of web site work to do today. I’ve got a list of about 10 things to do, mo stly on Newton Resources.

In case you didn’t know, Bob the Angry Flow er is da bomb.

Thi s is really making me want to buy a Dreamcast. Let’s count the features: co nnects to my Neo Geo Pocket Color, plays classic Sega Genesis/Megadrive and TG16 /PC Engine games, and might play PSX games (and I was considering getting a PS1 cheap soon), as well as those Dreamcast titles. Sweeet (yes, with three e’s).
Now if only I had large amounts of disposable income, and large amount of free t ime to play.

Song: James Brown – Get Up (I feel like being a Sex Machine), Pt. 1
Don’t ask. I’ve been having recurring James Brown cravings. I finally foun d my CD too.

Today was my first day at work. I work for

dotSoftware Incorporated

/Maptuit.com Incor porated. I do… well to be perfectly honest I don’t think I really have a job description. I expect to be doing a wide variety of things there, which is good, ’cause I like variety and I like being challenged.

It’s a nice change of pace having a normal routine compared to the hectic crazy pace of university. I woke up, had a shower, breakfast, checked my mail and rea d the daily webcomics, got on the TTC, made it to work, got set up with my cube / computer / phone / accounts, worked all morning, lunched with most of the othe r people there (it’s a small company), worked all afternoon, took the GO Train h ome. It was beautiful. The only random thing that happened is that I ran into Sarah Liss (UTS Class of 1998) randomly at the corner of Church and Front, but u nlike university, this random thing wasn’t destructive or complicated. It was j ust good.

I’ve found that since I got my Newton back and I started wearing my BurroPak I’ve been using my Newton mu ch more as a scribblepad than I ever did before. I’ve been writing down random ideas that pop into my head, things that I’ve wished I’d written down all these years. On a handheld platform that died over two years ago. Hrm.

Jordan, go back to work.

I also added a bit to the Writings section. Czech it o ut.

Song: The Breeders – Cannonball
Aah, memories of the UTV”93 Preview. Heh. I have absolutely no clue what the lyrics to this song are, but I love the bass line. Bass = Good. No, wait, I
