A twist on a classic theme.
Leon Takes Us
After work I decided to go up the hill to get out of the house a bit, and ended up at Slow Bar. I guess that happens when you’re as tall as I am.
After having a delicious hamburger I came home and wrestled with Markov Garden. Things were going okay until I realized that something’s off with the JSON that I’m getting from the parser, and it’s deserializing into something other than what I want. Here’s how I expressed that in a commit message.
The table that we’re getting turns into something a little off, so I think it’s going to have to involve more explicit hand-massaging.
So. . . that was pretty dorky.
Stories
I had too much hair, it was keeping my up at night.
So I cut some of it off.
Later I got dressed. This is the latest in an ongoing series called “Joaquin looks like either a settler or a skinhead, depending on when he shaved last.”
So vanity, but also change. I’ve really kind of gotten into a rut in terms of my relationship with time, and I’m looking for excuses to kind of jar myself into shape. Aside from Temboo and yard-work I’m so scattered that I’m better off avoiding doing anything, rather than starting it and then forking off onto some other activity (which form Markov Garden inevitably means stupid distraction-oriented internet use.) I need to figure out some way to make myself feel more monastic. If only I had a bell!
Stereotype Bingo
Hello Portland!
So. . . scarf, goofy t-shirt, Kung Fu slippers (not that I’m not entitled), Instagram mirror shot, cat, and I was (no lie) waiting for a test run of my Ruby project to complete when I took this picture.
Prediction
Instagram released an Android version this morning, and I just got a phone with a self-portrait mode. Let me tell you about the next six months.
/Summary
At Hampshire, people who didn’t know me called me Comic Book Boy, because when I showed up there I looked like Death of the Endless. Now things have truly come full circle, and I look like Neil Gaiman.
But light makes a big difference.
Some Things
A lonesome cone on a rooftop.
A cool sign from the inner Southeast.
I sent pictures to Temboo for a staff bio page. They chose another one, but this one was the coolest.
Some cool clouds from the back yard last night.
And here is the latest addition to the list of things I never thought I would own.
