Read my kvetch

My first (and no doubt last) piece in the local Jewish paper hit today. Shabbat Shalom. I'll let you know when I dig myself out of this hole.


Let's talk about the future - with no agendas

Nuts are everywhere

See, no matter where I go work, people create music videos about the products I represent! This blogger, Robert Oschler, is a huge Pleo enthusiast and is keeping track of our every move.

Fleshy works

Flesh Shoe is a great addition to the sweatshop labor conversation, and I recommend you go read the artist's statement about how he crafted it. I stumbled upon Adam Brandejs's site today while reading about his Genpets project, which is the buzz on Pleoworld today.

What a week

Tomorrow morning (LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS AWAY!) I start a new chapter, working once again for the man, or the dinosaur, I guess. The gig is in Emeryville, city of tomorrow - or city of lower rents or bigger box stores or lower sales tax, depending on your perspective.

I'm excited, but the last 10 days or so have been a real whirlwind of tying up loose ends:

- Consolidating my 8 million 401k plans
- Getting soaked in an accounting bloodbath
- recording new G-dcast episodes! OMG-D this is gonna happen!
- cleaning up the apartment
- leveling Anathema to 49
- setting up a wedding registry (!) - now that's WEIRD
- hiring a caterer
- having an engagement party thrown for me by Mission Minyan friends
- planning a few trips
- voting (Ya Voté!)
- Fixing web sites I work on
- Finishing up a Flash game for NutsOnline
- Writing an op ed for the J. Weekly
- Hearing Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz speak about LSD and transgendered people

And so much more. I'm exhausted. Bring on the cute dinos.
