I keep joking that I need to keep a dream journal, since I have ridiculously vivid dreams every single night.

Last night, I apparently won a trip to the International Space Station. Unfortunately, in my haste to “pack” for the trip, I didn’t bring very much. Nor did I know that I would be in space for 6 months.

When I finally reached the space station, I realized that I had forgotten my DSLR. I also forgot the charging cable for my iPhone (hey – that means no games of chess or sudoku!).

Oh, and the station apparently had gravity as well. That meant there was no fun to be had floating through doorways and such!

Twitter? That’s totally jumped the shark.

Flutter is where it’s at now!

I’m a huge fan of Paul Krugman and his blog posts and op-ed pieces for the New York Times are required reading for me everyday. And more often than not, he seems to hit the nail on the head in terms of why we should be cautious about the economy.

I’m detecting a trend in commentary that I find slightly ominous. Some of the economic news lately has been slightly better than expected, which was bound to happen at some point (on average, after all, half the news should be better than expected). Mostly this is in the form of things getting worse more slowly, but it wouldn’t be surprising if we see, say, an uptick in industrial production in a few months, as the inventory cycle runs its course.

If so, that doesn’t mean the worst is over. There was a pause in the plunge in early 1931, and many people started to breathe easier. They were wrong.

So far, there’s nothing pointing to a fundamental turnaround this year, or next, or for that matter as far as the eye can see.

San Francisco based Current has the best (and most hilarious) summary I’ve seen yet on what Twitter is all about. I often have a hard time trying to explain to friends and family just what exactly Twitter is.

Also – Twitter co-founder Biz Stone was on the Colbert Report on Thursday night as well. Check out the interview!

My flickr account just passed 200,000 views this weekend! Awesome!

As I was browsing through the statistics, I discovered that this was my most popular photo.

This was taken from the balcony of our apartment near downtown San Francisco. It’s an HDR photograph constructed from 9 separate photographs.

Amazing! Where do kids learn things these days? This guy is going to grow up to be a stud.

While updating some components of the blog this week, my website experienced a PHP out of memory error and ended up breaking the entire blog thanks to some corrupted files.

After rebuilding the database and reinstalling WordPress, it appears that I’m back in business! And with a new design. Enjoy!

Awesome!

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Just discovered this! Probably one of the coolest pieces of street art / stop motion animation that I have ever seen. Ridiculously awesome! Check it out – Blu.
