  • Tropical Storm Kyle is spinning out in the Atlantic right now.  Here is the NHC forecasted track:





    Maybe we will have the doomsday New-York-City-hurricane scenario?  Just a little nudge to the west....

  • Last weekend I made a film entitled
    Tiger, Impoverished.

    A group of us called "The Loyal Opposition" got together and entered the Diesel Film Race for our city.  You can see the website for that here:

    www.filmracing.com

    We had 24 hours (from 10pm on Friday to 10pm on Saturday) to write, film, and edit a 4 minute movie.  On Friday at 10pm, they emailed us the theme, which was "broke" and the surpise element, which was that we had to use a ruler.  We had some camera-to-computer problems (Sonys and Macs don't mix, apparently!) and I only had 2 hours to edit the film.  The world premiere was at Midtown Art Cinema in Atlanta on Wednesday, and it got many laughs and rave reviews.  People are huge fans of Tiger Face!

    Here it is!

  • I went to the grocery when I got home from work because my refrigerator is bare.  I only had 40 dollars to spend, so I made sure to choose wisely.  Nothing pre-packaged... I can't afford convenience.  I bought a loaf of bread and some lunch meat to make sandwiches with this week.  I'm always picky about my bread.  I make sure to get the nicest loaf, and I keep it at the top of the pile in the cart.  It was the last item to go onto the conveyor belt  so that it would be the last thing to get bagged.  I was feeling proud of my un-smashed bread.  I put the grocery-conveyor-separator-bar down behind my weeks worth of food and moved up in the line.  A minute or so later, I looked down at my bread to find that the guy behind me (you know the kind: he just couldn't wait to open that bottle of soda until after he payed for it) had placed his bottle of dishwasher detergent behind my bread... and it fell over the grocery-conveyor-separator-bar and onto the bread.  My loaf was ruined.  I didn't know what to say.  Should I have moved the bottle myself?  Asked him to move it?  Requested a new loaf?  I did none of the above.  I waited until he saw it himself and moved it... I think he thought I didn't notice.  But now I have a smashed loaf of bread in my kitchen, and I'm probably going to think about that guy every morning when I make my lunch.

    The good news is I only spent 32 dollars.




  • Today is the first day of classes, and it's my first day of teaching a dynamics practicum course.  It's three hours away and I still don't have a roster.  I'm running a little behind.
