how do you express the utter futility of existence along with the complete certainty that it all indeed means something wonderful? i’m going to say that, for me, i’ve only heard it expressed in music. and only rarely.

Some might think this is a good thing, but I’m wondering if I spend too much time writing about other people’s creative output, I’ll lose my own. So, as of now, I’m planning on writing in this thing once per week. Probably from the netbook. Though i’d love to be all space age and write from the iPhone, the truth is that the whole keyboard thing is an issue. I’ll check into maybe getting a 3G dongle for it, or learning how to tether the netbook to the iPhone for 3g access.

So, enough about that crap. I’m 40, as of this past monday, and it’s once again time to take stock of the me. Because the unexamined life and all…just isn’t my thing. So, back to the examining. Soon, anyway. Not RIGHT now, of course. THis is just me priming the pumps, so to speak.

Things to write about:

DayJob
Family, Kids, Spouse
Friends and Acquaintances
The Superhero Novel That Shouldn’t Be That Hard to Finish, For Chrissakes
Sex, Drugs, and Disco
General Philosophical Meanderings

And….there you have it. The topics of note. I’ll probably also be dumping some links in here from time to time, as they’ll help me keep up on shit. And stuff. TTFN!

I don’t like to toot my own horn in public, but in private? you bet!

    Here’re tweets from two iPhone developers that put out great games, telling everyone how great I am:

    picture-5picture-6

    These guys are pretty amazing themselves. Tim is a promotional monster, thinking up new cool ways to bring users and folks together thoruhg his game contests, and Keith is just the friendliest geek I’ve ever met, putting out intelligent games with emotional resonance with his wife, @nattylux.

    Kudos to these, and all the other developers, publishers, and game journalists in this new, exciting iPhone/iPod Touch gaming era!

    Nuff said.

    Sneezies was reviewed this week by thePortableGamer, a great new iPhone site that just launched this week. Some of the same cake fans behind the Touch of Gaming podcast and GamesAreEvil are involved.

    We (TPG) got mentioned over at Antair Games today. Kinda cool!
