Hey there...really
quickly...I am at Comic-Con in San Diego and so far,
it's been awesome. We're just getting up from a disco
nap before we head down for the Saturday night
throwdowns. Spent most of the day either in line or
in some pretty crazy panels (2,000 people in a room
for both Battlestar Galactica and
Heroes talks). The show is just getting
bigger and bigger. It's fun, though; we hung out with
the iFanboys last night and are looking
to meet up with them later tonight.
Still, I can't help but think I blew it by not coming
in earlier. There were tons of talks that I wanted to
check out on Thursday, but I was so busy I never
actually looked at the schedule before getting it
when I arrived yesterday. Now I just wanna run back
to the show, check out the floor, and meet up with
folks. We've been very bad about taking pictures but
we'll talk a bunch tomorrow. I am already sad it's
close to over, which is ridiculous.
Okay, time to wake Whitney up. Latro!

The robots have been hard
at work, apparently! Not only have I moved to a new
host, but I am gonna reboot the site using Rapidweaver, which looks way
way way way better than iWeb. I have been
spending a bit of time just trying to recreate the
basic elements of the old site, which has both
shown me the limitations of both this app and my
terrible web development skills. Who knows? Maybe
I will actually start working with more HTML and
all that after awhile.
Anyway, I will link to the old site content with a
button somewhere, should you be interested. What I
have been having a hard time with has been trying to
really customize the pages. Rapidweaver is, you know,
for beginners, it seems like--lots of templates, very
easy to use, the whole bit. It would be nice if I
could drag and drop graphics into the templated areas
(I like using my own graphics instead of the built-in
banners and such). The site right now looks a bit
generic, I fear, but it will just push me to be a bit
more creative, I guess.
So, what's what? I went to see Daft Punk this weekend with the
gang, and it was amazing, again. It felt very
similar to the Coachella show but they closed out
with a fantastic encore that was not part of the
Coachella performance. It was utterly off the
hook. It was nice to get out and dance again, with
all these different people (crazily diverse
crowd), it was fun to just make friends all
around, which is what I used to do with Zak all
the time when we went out a million years ago. I
was wiped the next day, so I am obviously
physically older, but I was absolutely just as
into it as anyone else around me.
Off to Comic-Con this weekend, so I should
have some good photos and stories from that
madhouse early next week.
In case you are just joining us, Whit and I went to
Baja California two weeks ago. We have some pictures
on the Flickr page.
