Tip of the Quill: A Journal

Category Archives: Uncategorized

I’ve gotta work on those numbers.

I’m not sure I believe in the algorithm being used, though. According to the Gematriculator, I’m 42% evil, my friend SarahScott is 47% evil (getting closer), Talon is only 30% evil (yah right), and in an unnerving display of synchronicity, Kate is also exactly 42% evil. The real proof that this thing is faulty, though, […]

Well, that answers that.

The Cubs, Ken. The Cubs definitely suck more than love.

Go! Go! Go!

As I write this, it’s 9-6 Marlins and the bottom of the 9th. C’mon Cubbies!

Happiness is…

Thinking about things this weekend, I thought I’d jot down a few notes here, for when (if ever) I get as depressed as I was earlier this year. The open road. A good cup of coffee. Joni Mitchell on the iPod. Happy clients. Good friends. Work in the queue. Money in the bank. Ideas for […]

Getting Wired.

Maryland to New York to Maryland to New York to…

I’m currently sitting in Kate’s apartment in New York, working on client projects and singing faint hosannahs to the gods of mobile computing. I do believe that for my next trick, I’m going to subscribe to the T-Mobile HotSpot service so I […]

I should be sleeping, but…

I wanted to point out the ridiculous amount of cool stuff appearing lately in the mediasphere. Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver, Neil Gaiman’s 1602 and Endless Nights, Dave McKean’s impending Mirror-Mask, Stephen King’s upcoming Dark Tower continuation The Wolves of the Calla… By the twiddling of my thumbs, something damn cool this way comes. I love the […]

Slowly returning to normal.

Slowly, bit by bit, things are returning to normal. Fray Day is done (except for the video editing and recaps), the Virtual Book Tour has blown through (I’ve archived the page here if you want to see what the TOTQ Virtual Book Tour Edition looked like), and now it’s back to client work, hammering on […]

Thanks for stopping by!

I want to wrap today’s Virtual Book Tour stop here by thanking Dennis Hensley and Dave White for stopping by, and Erin Quill for her multiple attempts to access the system. We never did figure out what bizarro MT bug prevented her from logging on, but rest assured she was with us in spirit. Guys, […]

On Meg “Oh My God” Ryan.

I’m with you on the whole Meg Ryan thing, Dennis. The combined cocktail of her nude scenes in “In the Cut”, the recent surgery, and the whole relationship explosion plus fiasco with Russell Crowe add up to one of the most horrific midlife meltdowns I’ve ever seen on the public scene. Which is awful, because […]
