For a long time now, I have had dreams and nightmares of black ooze. I have tried to embrace it… somewhat to address the visions and somewhat because, well… it is a neat vision. Perhaps it is some Jungian bit that is easily explainable, or at least a common dream. Either way, I have worked it into my comic The Surplus Bio-Freaks, into my ink work, and, heck, this site, “Swarling Black Mable,” is titled after my pet name for the ooze. I might have figured out my fascination.

Christmas is not one of my more favorite holidays. Last year I was stuck in a snowy wasteland without cigarettes fending off panic attacts over my tailbone surgery the next day. The year before I was home alone trying to figure out what to do about my truck being stolen then night before. Prior to that, I mostly pretended Christmas was just another day since my family didn’t get together on the 25th since my mom always worked.
Somehow I managed to stumble on to http://www.bluthfamily.com, a site with quotes from the show “Arrested Development”.
Today, I had a bit of a realization of how tough the times are.
The last few days at work I have been using the jquery ajaxform plugin extensively. The Malsup docs have been valuable. However, there have been certain things that I have had some issue with. It might be one of those “how do you google for things that do not exist”…
Here is a vid of us DIMmedia boys making our blacklight chandeliers for Shadow and Sound IV. I have to admit, for only a few hours of work and not really knowing what we were doing, they turned out slick!
Doing anything Black Friday? Want to come see some great art, music, and help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis? DIMMedia is coordinating the art for Shadow and Sounds 4 going down at Aqua in downtown Minneapolis on Friday November 28th. Come check out out Shadow and Sounds 4
The week I was sick saw a few black marks on history – Michael Chriton Died of cancer and Chi Cheng, bassist for one of my favorite bands, was involved in a serious car accident.
Last year March, I participated in the F1 Overnight web challenge, a 24 hour+ programming comepetition to benefit Minnesota non-profits hosted by Sierra Bravo. My team had the pleasure of working with REDA (Riverview Economic Development Association). It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to doing it again this year. Registration opened over the weekend for the event to be held February 28th. My team is the Polymorphin Power Rangers, lead by Jon once again. My profile is up here. I am the green ranger. hehe
