Imported content from older iterations of the site. Mostly consisting of drivel along the type that you see on the frontpage, only written by a younger version of myself. Especially useful for winning arguments with me about where I was when or a time I said something unconditionally and then later changed my mind and forgot (conveniently). Fish-in-a-barrel easy make-fun-of-Matt material is here, too.

almost the weekend.

Whats everyone doing? Im working, so Im hoping to live vicariously through your experiences. For my end of the bargain, Ill bring you the latest and greatest MJ news, or at least anything thats not prohibited by my NDA. I wish I could post pictures, because man, everything looks so cool. I actually like things like this that arent yet finished - I think theyre often more attractive than the finished product.
I think that weird visual tick is somehow connected to my enjoyment of ruins - I really like visiting the site of former castles, I like the fallen-down houses in the woods back near where I grew up, I like urban decay. There was a story the other day about the possibility that cities were going to bulldoze-and-leave deserted parts of town for nature to reclaim, and while I think its not likely to happen on any large-enough-to-matter scale, the idea does present interesting potential. If there was a way to leave buildings standing but not attract vagrancies and crime, Id rather see that than bulldozing. How cool would half-reclaimed city blocks look?
Thats actually an interesting idea for a visual in my next script. I should start writing it in my "spare" time here at the Forum. Oh spare time.

its already Wednesday

Sunday was Disneyland, then Monday, Yesterday and Today have all been long-ass workdays. Im slacking a little on my web responsibilities because Im working so much and the work I am doing feels like its all spinning my wheels - frustrating. Ah well.
At least I have the evening gigs to keep things novel. Im still trying to get everything right, so every song, every event is a challenge, but thats just a good reason that Im so tired. I havent even been going out - how weak is that? Tomorrow, though, Paul V spins covers at Stinkers, so Ill be doing that for sure. Fun times.
Also, why have weird spammers been signing onto my site over the last couple of days? It inflates my ego by making me think that people are interested in what I have to say until I realize that theyre probably just trying to spam links somewhere. Sad times.
If only I had trade secrets to divulge. The secrets I DO have, I will NOT divulge.
I gots me an LLC
Sunday, 14 June 2009 07:11
I should probably have a gigs topic these days. Man. Anyone feel like mocking up a ball-and-chain icon all web 2.0 style in PShop for me?
Anyway, I got me an LLC today! Me and Dave, doing Promptin Circumstance West, LLC. Effin sweet. Okay, well, all I did today was go through LegalZoom and pay for it, but still. Ill have paperwork theoretically in a few days. And for under a grand. Woot.
I also got a PO box today for all that work stuff. I need to get JVS back together as an entity, but thats a chorus for another song. Today is all about this thing. Im sitting here, waiting for MJ to show up and hoping to get out early, basking in the glow of corporate shell-dom. Heres hoping that this becomes one of those megacorps that hippies are always whining about. The megacorp of teleprompting. Teleprompting special interest groups, all funded by me. Yay for the ability to do evil.
In other news, Im going to Disneyland tomorrow for free.
Also, Ill probably unveil a new website on Monday. At least here. A soft launch - excellent plan! A few nerdy (and not-so-nerdy) folks can look first, before the intended rush of non-popularity.
Okay, enough of this. Back to my regularly-scheduled nerding around.

Workin for a living
Friday, 12 June 2009 07:40
That title is a little misleading. Im working and Im living, at least. And Im working more than I have been recently, which is good. I still dont really have a life or do anything that would be considered interesting or blog-worthy (my awesome, NDA-hobbled afternoon gig notwithstanding, of course), so theres that.
I do love my Pre. Its badass. I fuckin wish it synced with Outlook. I wish the battery lasted a tiny bit longer, but thats about it. My Touchstone came in today, so Ill pick it up tomorrow and my charging issues will be addressed. Otherwise, I love the multitasking (which Im using without even thinking about it already, so thats good), I love the gestures and I really like the new keyboard. I dont know if Ill ever be a touch-typist on it, just given my huge-and-oafish thumbs, but Im already speeding up sending texts and such.
Other things:
- I have tomatoes. Theyre Green, but growing. I should post a pic.
- Em is helping me define what Ill be needing from an assistant when I finally get around to hiring one. I need lots of help on it, so thats good.
- I cant stop listening to Nerdcore.
Enough with the twitter-style lists. Happy Thursday.
So here we are
Wednesday, 10 June 2009 03:02
June Gloom has been quite the staple of life here recently. Its been raining a lot for LA, too (which is to say that its gloomy a lot and a few drops come out of the sky occasionally). This is manifesting itself in my life in the fact that I dont want to do any work. I love my new Pre, and I like what Ive done so far with MJ, but I havent done much. Web stuff has been like pulling teeth - its like theres something wrong with me. I even have THINGS to do. Man.
That said, Im happy to have those things to do, and I know Ill kick into gear here sooner rather than later and have a bunch of things going on at once, creatively. Ill have some web stuff to announce later in the week, I think, so thatll be good. At the present, theres slow movement on the Il Punali front, so thats good. Hopefully soon, well be able to put the retail site (back) up in a couple of weeks. Well see.
Okay, enough of this - Im getting psyched to get something accomplished. Almost time for lunch with Brad.
