Hell of a packing job there, biggs9193.
It will, no doubt, surprise you to learn that the 17” iMac (which you described as being “in working condition” last week) arrived today and was found to be in “physically distressed, nonworking condition.” Weird, right? Here, check out my unboxing set on Flickr. You’d think an improvised shipping container that protected three of the computer’s 4 corners would have been good enough! Three out of four ain’t bad, right? I know! And who needs padding when the screen already has a deep gash in it? What’s the point?
Anyway, I’m erasing the hard drive now, and will lay down a fresh OS to evaluate whether or not this computer can be made to work. That’s how I’m spending my Saturday morning. At least the coffee’s in working order.

Modest @sween is modest.

For @sween and @poeks’ inspired Criterion Collection project, I performed two tweets. One, by @fireland, was included in the project. The second, of a @sween tweet, was quietly discarded. The soft spot it left in my heart remains.

Here’s the entire 15 seconds Julie and I shot for Bailey’s Birthday video. It’s okay. You can admit to watching it over and over for the almost-boob shot. I mean I can admit.

Happy Birthday, Bailey!

Turns out it’s Bailey’s (@baileygenine) birthday today. Sam (@samhey) and I thought it might be nice if we gathered up a bunch of people to make her a group video card, with this little fill-in-the-blank script as the only direction:

“Hi Bailey! I think that you are [adjective]. For your birthday, I got you a(n) [adverb adjective noun]. Have a(n) [adjective] day - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Happy birthday, Bailey. Your wonderfully strange friends love you.
