i cannot stop thinking about a form interface to update my sites with, and running my sites at home on my own partitioned machine, and database driven applications, and server side includes, and document writes, and c and perl and xml, and asp, and and and... i'm forever thinking of new concepts to add to this website, and of better integrating my sites together, to express how i feel about the web, what i like about the web, and my relation to the web. i've just gotten an account at dairyland for a "weblog" (ideally, in the intented sense of the word) to not only have another mode of output, but also get that much closer.

i find some great shit out there, and don't *even* have time to spread the word.

i spent the first twenty one years of my life thinking i was never going to find that thing that i would love to do and want to do forever and i love it that i love what i do so much that i want to put my heart, soul, and life into it. i want to push the bounds of this medium and of myself until we meet in the middle. its an amazing thing.

the gap is a mess. the two sides of the system i work in seem to be competing with each other instead of working as a whole, as a team. the problem is is that one side is in another city working on the backend, and we (see what i mean?) are in the city working on the front end. noone is ever going to get fired because problems that arise are "san bruno's fault", and vice versa. most likely, these phenomena are unrelated, but i wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that whenever i step into the bathroom, there is never anyone standing at either of the two urinals, but invariably, there is someone sitting in a stall...

hey, i'm a contractor. its none of my business...

so my birthday passed with little fanfare, heard from some friends i hadn't heard from in a long time ( misty and rufus, who didn't know) and daria (who kinda knew) called from madrid (or barcelona? does it matter?). mom called first, cory called a day late, my dad didn't call at all...

i got taken out to dinner last night with the crew, but i think the best gift i got was an offer from zoza (including 20,000 options, what's up now?), that i believe i'm going to accept.
