    David’s Home!! Yayyyyy!

    September 22, 2006 - By 

    My week of driving the hybrid is over with; I picked David up at the airport tonight after work. It’s been a long week of watching season premieres with nobody to talk to except the cat. David’s technical conference was a big success as far as he’s concerned, as he connected with a lot of people and got a fair amount of recognition. I coped with driving to O’Hare to get him this evening after work, and waited in O’Hare’s new “cell phone lot” until he got his bags and called to tell me which “vestibule number” he’d wait at…

    Amazing Race 10: Clueless In Seattle, Eyeless in Beijing

    September 17, 2006 - By 

    The screaming begins! And the show I love, love, love, is starting out in my old home, Seattle. I’m going to try to liveblog this one, too. Very boring for you, but fun for me, so deal. AHHHHH! The sundial from the top of Gasworks Hill is the starting point. When Phil is on screen explaining the rules, my old neighborhood is just over his left shoulder, at the end of the high metal bridge. In other words, “I can see my condo from here.” And we’re off. Racearoundtheworld! Many legs, no hints. 8 elimination point pitstops. And in this…

Struck by the oddity of just one character so far being played by a fully human actor, and most others with some sort of weird CGI overlay, I decided to record it and see what happens. So far, there’s ripoffs of concepts from the original Stargate movie (Egyptian gods emerging from sarcophagi), stylistic nods to Blade Runner, the Fifth Element, the European science fiction magazine Heavy Metal, and…

    Missing?

    September 16, 2006 - By 

    Okay, this is weird. A consultant for my corporate client has gone missing. We didn’t book his travel, so we don’t have access to his records, so we don’t know if he’s checked in for his flight home today. The office where he was consulting has mobilized to try to find him; apparently he had a problem all week with finding his way around and kept getting hopelessly lost. Someone was to lead him to the airport earlier this morning, but he took off on his own without waiting for her, and hasn’t been heard from. Hasn’t returned his rental…
