Skipped the normally mandatory Halloween post. My Bad. Spent most of yesterday trying to consolidate the external hard drives that pepper my office. Dug out a lot of old video I shot, a pile of movies I forgot all about and enough photos to put a little extra strain on Flickr’s ‘from Yahoo‘ hernia badge. They should really pop that back inside, out of sight, where it belongs.

Also found a pile of old bookmarks that I’m currently revisiting and feeding on. Figured the following pic managed to illustrate my previous two posts quite well so here it is:

Here’s the accompanying blurb from SADA104:

In the early 19th century, “Yamato Nadeshiko” (大和撫子) is referred to by Japanese as a ideal Japanese woman with loyalty, domestic ability, and wisdom in the male dominated society. Rin Nadeshico (*Nadeshico spelled with “c”, not “k”) is an up&coming Japanese female graphic artist who illustrates a new definition of “Yamato Nadeshiko” in the 20th century. Those girls she draws are independent, with strong personality, and sometimes aggressive.

Sadly, Rin’s site seems to be down, but there’s plenty of her work out there if you google her name.

In short: girls rock. Don’t fuck with them.

Right. November arrived on a wet windy Sunday. Luckily most of the Halloween vomit seems to have been washed away. November means novel writing for some of you, but I’ll be playing the video version again this year. 7pm and I’m in the middle of a Firefly marathon, but I’ll see if I can get something up by midnight.

Looks like last year I only managed a week’s worth of video. So that’s the target to beat. I’m also involved in a couple of side projects, but we’ll get to those when they pop up. I’m a big fan of Vimeo still, but I’m a bigger fan of the iPhone so that means I’ll be using YouTube more than normal.

Sorry about that.
