Friday afternoon, and the bike is calling...
Once again, many apologies for the long delay in posts. I find that time spent riding my motorcycle around LA seems to have a higher return value than sitting in front of a computer.
I'll be adding photographic evidence of said trips here.
On the work front...
Despite the current software cycle, I’d by lying if I said I was as stressed as the same time last year. Our department has more staff, and I find that I don’t have to do everything to get all that I’m responsible for completed, which is nice. Today we are finishing up the majority of our beta testing, and our test-complete day is today. I can already feel the urge to take off early, suit up and put some more miles on the triumph. I’ve managed to keep the flow of data from our group to the management contained to a web site, which has really made things run much more smoothly.
In other news I haven’t really been posting too much about the events I’ve been to lately, mostly just by phone post. a quick re-cap:
- Doc Martin’s 25th anniversary of acid house with DJ Pierre was off the hook! amazing show.
Movie Reviews in One Sentence:
- Transformers -- The Ultimate Summer movie; Humor, Action, and Gigantic Explosions; very entertaining.
- Ratatouille -- Another slam dunk by Pixar; Stunning animation, and a great story.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix -- The Darkest HP yet; pre-pubescent angst meets ultra-baddies; tweens shall swoon.
- Wizard of Gore -- Another dynamite performance by Crispen Glover, strange, twisted, and very LA.
- La Vie en Rose -- Ultra depressing and tremendously sad, a must for francophiles; a rental for the rest of us.
Hot Track: ”Behind the Moog” by The Girth - Theodore Girthkins telepathically summons another funky house banger on Funkfield
Cool Site: pownce.com - Kevin Rose (of digg) new project site
