This weekend I finished a video I'd been planning to do for quite some time -- "Go" by the Indigo Girls has awed and inspired me for years. I tried to make a video to match its power and beauty. Check it out:

• Go / Small: 4.9mb
  
  
• Go / Large: 24.0mb

This one's for Mark. Love ya, bro.

Go DS!

We made it to 50,000 hits! According to bCentral, we're still getting about 500 hits a day, so I want to thank everyone who's lent their support to this little project of mine. It really means a lot to reach such a wide audience; I sometimes feel like I'm spitting in the wind, but the numbers and your comments make me smile. Thank you.

Go Meme!

My pal Kakariki in NZ passed me a meme, so I guess I gotta do it. Here goes..

1. You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
   
   I don't understand the question. Am I to think about which book is most likely to get saved? Or which book is most likely to get burned? The only thing I can think to say about this is that when I finished reading Pamela by Samuel Richardson, I drew on it with a sharpie, stabbed it with a knife, set it ablaze, and chucked it out of my second-story dorm room window because it's the worst book ever written.
   
   
2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
   
   Yes. Andy Bichlbaum looked really hot in his sexy gold suit.
   
   
3. The last book you bought is?
   
   Sin City #1: The Hard Goodbye by Frank Miller
   
   
4. The last book you finished is?
   
   Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. (I'll assume I can't count Macbeth, which my 10th grade English classes finished yesterday.)
   
   
5. What are you currently reading?
   
   (I too read lots of books at the same time. Never used to.)
   
   
   • Democracy Matters by Cornel West
     
   • The Man with the Golden Arm by Nelson Algren
     
   • Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
     
   • A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History by Manuel De Landa
     
   • Iraq, Inc: A Profitable Occupation by Pratap Chatterjee
     
   • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (to review for the movie)
     
   • Bucking the Sarge by Christopher Paul Curtis (for a young adult lit book group I joined at school because I have so much free time)
   
   
6. Five Books you would take to a deserted Island?
   
   
   1. That Zola biography I bought in '99
      
   2. Snake 'n' Bacon
      
   3. Something by Terry Pratchett
      
   4. Some Stanislaw Lem book I haven't read yet
      
   5. Some Chomsky book I haven't read yet
   
   
7. Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
   
   
   1. Diane because she is kicking butt on the Wallace & Gromit video game as I type.
      
      
   2. Garrett because I need a one with the ride.
      
      
   3. Christie because teachers are cool.
      
      
   4. Jesse because he's my dawg.
      
      
   5. Josh because his son is very cute.
      
      
   6. Nate because he's the only other person I keep in touch with who truly understands what I mean when I say "Mac Miller".
      
      
   7. Jon because his daughter is very cute.
      
      
   8. Rich because I feel guilty for not posting any Tachygraphy for him in months. (Oh, did that say three? I thought it was an eight!)

Go TimeWaster™!

You Are an Idiot. Not you, personally.

Today I'm listening to: Indigo Girls!
