based on a recommendation, i'm thinking about moving to typepad. apparently it is much easier to create custom page designs, which i would love to do. i read a lot, so i'd like to keep a list of interesting books w/ small reviews. 10:33:07 PM    comment []

for some strange reason, two movie plots i came up with a few years ago have been heavily on my mind. i think they're worthy of at least being written up as a synopsis. so i'm thinking of replacing my russian vacation with a week in san diego with a mission of writing up the movie ideas. i wonder how much someone would pay for a good plot but no screenplay? 10:32:08 PM    comment []

after three long months of waiting, my japanese-style furniture and apple mini ipod arrived on the same day. synchronicity at it's finest! 10:30:01 PM    comment []

apparently the universe is at least 156 billion light years across. this is what an english person would describe as "rather large". http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/05/24/universe.wide/index.html 12:08:29 PM    comment []

just got back from a week of traveling; the gartner group conference in LA went particularly well. my next big trip is to australia in the middle of next month. i'll be visiting sydney, canberra (the capital), melbourne and cairnes. the cairnes part of the trip will be with my brother, and i hope to get in some scuba diving and bungee jumping. when i bungee jump, i'm going to try a "reverse swallow" dive, since apparently that yields a different kind of experience. 12:04:02 AM    comment []
