Harry Skeen: Adventurer

Today is a great day for the video world of the web. Well, the video world doesn't know it yet... but I'll let it in on a little secret: Tom has finished editing Harry's BEST JOB IN THE WORLD video application. It's incredible. Harry is the world's best adventurer. I don't believe anyone could do a better job adventuring around the Barrier Reef (Australia) than my tall, sharp-jawed roommate Mr. Skeen. But may I also add that Tom is the newest, bestest, up'n'coming videographer in the High Country.

The next video... I'll show right here. But since I'm writing this so far down in the blog, and there's a video to grab your attention... you've prbly already started it, and possibly assumed that it's Harry's video. Harry is in this video. But this was just a great day of canoeing. But now that I think of it, I wish we I called it "I wish we had ice skates."

For your viewing pleasure:



"Canoeing on a Lake" .... or "I Wish We had Ice Skates"

Decisions Decisions Decisions

Welcome to my brain! Here are a few things I need to decide... and soon.

1. Where to live.
2. Whether to start a separate design blog or just do that on my own website (when I actually design it).
3. Delve into html / css (your traditional website format) or flash (new edgy, cool, interactive websites). I've been using flash heavily at work but I don't know how much I like it anymore (as far as full website). It's cool... or at least it can be. But I personally have been more into the functionality of static html sites / blogs. It's a tough decision. I'll prbly go into html sites for now, then get bored of that and switch back to flash.

It's funny to talking about these BIG DECISIONS I have to make... mostly because I pretty much already have an answer.

Now time to build a flapjack ocean scene (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/flapjack/) for Harry's video application for The Best Job in the World (http://www.islandreefjob.com/).

Not OK

Pretty sure we have an opossum (or some other rather large rodent) in our attic!!! Yesterday it knocked some boxes down from a loft in the garage. I thought an intruder was hiding up there. It must be playing with the mice / shrew / various baby rodents that may be up there.

Saw Art Society last night @ Dragonfly Theater. bird with no legs / the deacons played first. I almost left my card at the bar. that would have sucked.

xmas break

Welp, I worked for almost 7 months and only took one day off to get a root canal, so this xmas break has been thoroughly enjoyed.

Got a new laptop (it's going to be my downstairs internet / design cpu). maybe i'll get another monitor for it.

Gotta pay rent today!! (just saw a faded RENT written on my hand).

Got Need For Speed : Carbon. It's pretty good. Glad to have a racing game.

Workin on my mom's photography website (link to come later). Best part : my dad's been helping me with the actionscript! haha. so good. it's great to see him get really excited about something i'm really excited about.

don't tickle me!!!!!!!!

It's been a long time. Shouldn't of left you. Left you without a dope beat to step to. Step to. Step to. Step. Step to.

Ok. Enough rapping.

A general post on my life:

// Work is going great.

// I went to Boston for a User Interface conference last week (ui13). I learned a ton.

// My roommates are more than great. I love them so much.

// Blowing Rock Ale is only OK.

// But Magic Hat #9 is better than I remembered.

I've been listening to Bat For Lashes a lot lately. It's great. It's really been paralleling with my life. Insightful, emotional, heavy, strong, passionate, playful.

I also listened to a recorded reading on the importance of separating the kingdom of god and salvation. salvation is not the end as it is often preached. the kingdom of god is what should be sought after salvation / baptism. good stuff. life.

Denial is Real Dumb

Sliced finger
Packing / Cleaning
African chicken dish
Lots of friends
Hot tub
"The Music Box" video
Phone conversations
Call of Duty 4

This is what I filled my day with. It was really good, but I think I need some serious time alone.
I need to buy a journal. A real one. One that I'm not afraid to say what I think.
I need to allow myself to be at least a little wounded. I know everything is going to work out (I'm not the one in control anyways). But things still hurt sometimes. Feeling that pain is not a bad thing. But denial is real dumb.

I need more of his goodness. his joy. his love.
