Materials: To play “Geneva Conventions: The Drinking Game” you need copies of the conventions as ratified by nearly every country in the world (including the US), your favorite alcoholic beverages (because you are sure-as-shit going to need some drinking), and a group of your friends. Preferably bi-partisan. The Peace Pledge Union provides a good and …
Ze Frank offers some good advice on ideas and creativity on his 07-11-06 show. How many of us are addicted to “brain-crack?” “Hi. My name is Peter and I’m a “brain-crack” addict.”
“Hi, Peter.”
Anyone want to start a 12-Step program with me?
Guess who’s birthday is today.
Yep… Kevin Bacon.

So I’ve taking a temp job for a couple of months at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, which is in the Upper West Side at 168th Street. I live in Brooklyn. So that’s about 2 hours, everyday, on the subway. Remind me, the next time I take a job, to stay below 42nd Street. …
Despite the fact that Microsoft has announced that it will delay the release of Office 2007, thereby demonstrating that they are really incapable of putting out their products when they say they are; despite the fact that the new “docx” files aren’t compliant with the Oasis OpenDocument format, and despite the fact that OpenOffice.org is …
The current bill proposed by Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), has failed in committee. Michael Grebb has a good story over at Wired about how the net has never really been all that neutral… certainly not in an attempt to dismiss ongoing efforts to prevent blatent segregation of information, but to …
SimpleGeek has a great post about why he has left Windows behind that has me pretty nearly convinced and Mac’s OsX on my Emachine W3052 or my Thinkpad R31 is definitely a sexy thought… especially on the Thinkpad. You’ll find that most of us Thinkpad users tend be very, very attached to the hardware architecture …
The same trip up to RI, I was able to hang out with Vanessa for a couple of drinks. By the way, Vanessa is really damn cool, y’all! And Perishable Theatre rocks! As much as, at the time, I felt miserable working as Perishable’s Office Manager, I loved–love–the theatre itself and what it stands for …
Listening to you sing… watching you play… talking of dreams and projects, creations…
It’s been 13 years since we’d seen each other and the years have added to both of our spirits in some good and some painful ways. The pure idealism and belief of our our late teens/early twenties may have become a bit tattered, or at least stained by the processes of living in the world. We have hurt and been hurt in those intervening years, tasting the bittersweet of living with the complexity of life. Yet the moment I saw you, it was apparent that on some basic level, beneath the years and the disappointments and the folding away of our most outrageous dreams, we are the same. Not the same in any shallow, let’s act like we aren’t 35 way, but that fundamentally, our goals and desires, our spirit and our love have remained unsullied by the demands of the world, time, and loss.
As much as hearing you sing, seeing you smile and feeling your hugs, this realization is a lovely gift from a lovely woman.

I promise, the next entry will be more interesting than my back and forth about the look of the site.
