04/01/10--00:45: Fuck You. No Fooling. (chan 2072093)




"I Heard You Like Mudkips" deal was cute. Really.  But Twilight? That's crossing the line.  Really.  And if you're a Twilight fanboy/girl there's just something really wrong with you.  I'm sorry, there just is.  It's bad, and offensive to women....and that's just the TRAILERS. I hear the book is even worse.

04/24/10--02:29: Birthday 2010: A Year in Review (chan 2072093)




Unless you are very late in reading this or the process of aging has affected the functions of my brain that calculate basic math equations, I have now turned 28.

On this day one year ago, I found myself knee-deep in flies and what the insiders refer to as "municipal solid waste" at a landfill in the Dutch side of St Maarten with a night full of tequila, guava berry, beer, and a third of a bottle of Absinthe awaiting my unfortunate soul. I ate at a obnoxious French restaurant; had my first taste of snails; and, was served a watermelon with a lone candle to act as a make-shift cake from my boss.

Then the next month I was fired and my gir

05/12/10--08:18: Not So Live from Miami (chan 2072093)




I'm in Miami (at least for a few more days) and recorded and episode of I Am Nerd from the Design District for all the world to see.


Here's where you see it:  http://blip.tv/dashboard/episode/3630556



We talk about an art show that we went to.



....that's about it.



.......go watch the damn thing already.


05/13/10--20:20: Thinking Out Loud (chan 2072093)




Ever since we started doing the whole video podcast thing, I've been trying to figure out how to improve it--how to make it more professional or more fun.  I added in things like the Adult Swim inspired sign/bump gags--which is one of my favorite things to create--but something still bugs me and I couldn't, for whatever reason, figure out how to correct them and make this little podcast with no budget seem much more put together.


Now some of it is just equipment.  We work with one camera--a Samsung SC-HMX10c HD camcorder I've had for years--so we can't do that much with interesting shots.  We have one work l


05/29/10--17:17: IAN - Title Sequence 1 (chan 2072093)

06/16/10--13:35: I GOT A JOB!!! (chan 2072093)




The year of hell is now over as I'm once again EMPLOYED!!!  I start Monday at a really cool company called Mojo Interactive as a web designer.


It's been a long road since my last office job and I'm over the moon to be gainfully employed once more--and even better at a place that's so "nerd friendly" that all of their rooms are named after places from Star Wars.  I think the CEO even knows Kevin Rose personally which makes me do a little geek squeal.


06/17/10--21:32: Dear Internet: Sports Talk (chan 2072093)




Dear Internet,   I don't understand the need for "norms" to constantly attempt to engage in sports banter with those of us who clearly have no interest in the subject. I'm a Nerd, after all, and that implies that I've spent the better part of my life avoiding the world of Jocks—our natural predator.   They don't seem to understand that talking to us about sports invokes the exact same reaction as when we attempt to explain the plot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to them.  Our eyes glaze, our attention wanes, and we reply to their wall of inane blather with a unique variation of "uh huh" designed to politely let


06/17/10--23:13: IAN Website v4 - First Draft (chan 2072093)

07/22/10--19:23: Dear Internet: Internet Porn (chan 2072093)




Dear Internet,   Call me old fashion, but a video of a guy defecating on his girlfriend in a back alley while a voyeuristic homeless man sings the theme song to Ducktales shouldn't be the most normal thing I've seen on the internet. Alas, we live in the age of 4Chan governed by Rule 34—which accurately states that anything that exists has porn dedicated to it. Want to see Scooby doing Daphne in the back of the Mystery Machine while Shaggy asphyxiates himself? It exists. Want to see Chewbacca get his Sarlacc Pit eaten out by Han Solo? It exists.   While it's wonderful that you can spend the afternoon painting the town

02/09/11--08:32: Lazarus Protocol - Episode 0 (chan 2072093)




Episode 0:  Serenity in Violence  In thirty minutes he fights.  Each second passes like hours, each moment savored. The coldness of the metal chair he sits on, the smell of sweat and blood in the air, the sound of the crowd's blood-lust that echoes down the hall--he is acutely aware of everything.   "There is a certain zen to this place," he thinks. "These are my people, the ones I fight for, the ones I commit countless sins to protect.  I know their minds. I know their fears. I feel the hurt and anger they have for the world at large.  It's an anger that only our kind knows. But here, in

07/11/11--04:40: The Ramblings of Yet Another Nerdy Graphic Artist (chan 2072093)




There was a time that my DA journal was a place I'd put down my ideas on life as well as design.  Back when DA was a young buck, and I was too, I had a different account (:devDeathSun:) and a very active group of friends and strangers. The site changed it's culture and the energy in trying to maintain that sort of participation was more than I was willing to put in so I slowly moved away from using this journal altogether.  At this point, DA has become just a place for me to post my occasional artwork and hope that someone takes a look--but that's all it is to me.  My long-winded observations on life faded away.

As always, if you know a place that wants to hire a graphic designer/video editor, let me know.

So, this is the big one.  I'm going to make a go at my own company if I can't find a full time gig soon.  For those unaware, early December I was laid off.  It was difficult since I really did like working there and I'm one of those types that lives to work.  I like having that purpose, that meaning.  I used to come to work
