The last two and a half weeks have been pretty rough. I’ve been contending with a lot of serious work to do, moving to a new city, and the fact that regularly posting something here is just hard. As a result of all these excuses, the last three weeks have seen so little...
Last weekend I went to a birthday party for a few friends. It's part of the reason why I neglected to post anything here for a few days. Please excuse this personal indulgence - I took pictures at the party and I want you to see them. Don't worry, though, they aren't just bo...
For the last few days, there have been no ads on DenyConformity.com. I suppose that isn’t really a surprise. Before about a week ago, there had never been ads on DenyConformity.com. However, this is an annoying and frustrating turn of events. I want to be serious about...
This is part two in my ongoing journal documenting the redesign of DenyConformity.com. Think of it as the audio commentary track for the Internet. Today we'll discuss the history of DenyConformity.com.
DenyConformity.com is certainly not exactly as it was when I buil...
The company I work for, Colossal Squid Industries, recently launched a new website for Scott Brand. It's pretty sweet. We had a launch party for the website (lunch party) yesterday at Southport Lanes, which I thought was weird because that's right down the street f...
It's pretty cool, too. I'm working for a medium-sized web design company called Colossal Squid. Its a really dynamic and hard-working team, and I'm both excited and terrified (good terrified) to be working there. This is the first tim...
So John and I just watched the trailer for A Cross the Universe, the new documentary by and about Justice. It looks like it's going to be awesome. I threw on my Justice vinyl and things got a little out of hand.
This morning I woke up and got out of my bed.
Then I stopped myself and took a look around.
Though I had many aspirations in my head.
There was no life in there that could be found.
Though there were a billion things left for me to see,
there was a void...
We are the hollow men.
We are the stuffed men.
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry c...
I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone.
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone.
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam.
Oh, I will make my way, through one more day.
How much difference does ...
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed's...
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw, Alas!

Christopher Robin is going.
At least I think he is.
Where?
Nobody knows.
But he is going--
I mean he goes
(to rhyme with "knows")
Do we care?
(to rhyme with "where")
We do
Very much.
(I haven't got a rhyme for that "is" in the second lin...
I made a big decision a little while ago.
I don't remember what it was, which prob'ly goes to show
That Many times a simple choice can prove to be essential
Even though it often might appear inconsequential.
Houses and rooms are full of perfumes the shelves are crowded with perfumes;
I breathe the fragrance myself, and know it and like it;
The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it.
He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind ...
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sa...
I have made some changes to the site, for those of you who care. Now older entries are located in a page called "olds". I have done this so that the "news" page doesn't get really cluttered up with entries. I prefer to list the entries in chronological order, so that...
