Serenity NOW!

More recommendations:

Jennie and I just finished watching the Firefly series and the Serenity movie. A number of people recommended it to me and I will, in turn, recommend it as well. A quick warning, though - there's a lot of cheese. There is some clever writing, some good acting (some pretty bad acting, too) and lots of gadgets, guns and spaceships. I'm not about to hit the Firefly convention circuit or anything, but the movie did a pretty nice job of wrapping up the series and making the whole thing satisfying.

Similarly, the series finale of Arrested Development was brilliant. (Thanks for the tip, Bill.) I can't wait until all of the episodes are available on DVD. One of the very last scenes was in the space usually reserved for the phony "next week on..." clips and showed Ron Howard alluding to a movie. Is this the new development scheme for TV/film hybrids?

I think I'm the only nerd not to have watched that.

Good. I'm starting one job on Tuesday but I might still take another job depending how a second interview goes. I've really been riding the line on what the appropriate course of action is in this case because I want to be fair but I don't want to squander a sure thing.

Either way, next time we need money at Larry's, I'll have some.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
