  1. Victory! Successfully exorcised the eldritch demons that were causing my MacBook Pro to kernel panic. And with only one blood sacrifice too!
  2. First lecture day complete. Students are wonderful: attentive, thoughtful & engaged, w/a better grasp of the fundamentals than I'd expected.
  3. ...and it's July 15th. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @NIFERCRITTER!!! Long may you squee!
  4. Still dog paddling through the horse latitudes of cognition thanks to the circadian ass-fucking I received on Saturday. Tired to the marrow.
  5. Going on now in SF: @NiferCritter's birthday celebration @ Buckshot Bar & Gameroom (http://tr.im/ru3x) Skeeball, chicken fried bacon & beer!
  6. Arose this morning to omnipresent rain punctuated by gentle thunder. Not all that different from normal, really: the humidty is just moving.
  7. The now: BitTorrenting apps to help diagnose my dead MBP, and waiting for an episode of PR Canada to buffer, all over the hotel's free WiFi.
  8. http://twitpic.com/abrkf - That is unless you DON'T like bathing under the Eye of Sauron.
  9. http://twitpic.com/abrcr - One brief craft project later, and I now have one of the coolest showers in Singapore. INTL DIY FTW!
  10. Went shopping tonight. Came home w/ Florida orange juice, socks, underwear, red acetate, electrical tape, candles, and a pillow. Party time!
  11. Also met my students yesterday. Bright, young, international. V. attentive & appreciative of the opportunity they've been given. Bodes well.
  12. After some haggling I left with two 2GB SO-DIMMs for a reasonable price. Sadly they did not solve the problem. Next suspect? The hard drive.
  13. My MacBook Pro kernel panicked yesterday, prompting a late-night DIMM hunt. Luckily I remembered the location of a nearby tech market.
  14. Love that Singapore's rail system is called the MRT. "I pity the fool who don't use mass transit! I pity the foo'!"
  15. Took the train this morning. Public transport in S'pore is clean, quick & abundantly comprehensible; one of the best rail systems I've seen.
  16. RT @laughingsquid: The Cardboard Tube Fighting League returns to San Francisco, 4-6 pm this Sunday in Golden Gate Park http://bit.ly/pdhiz
  17. RT @DiabloMagazine: Burning Man too far away? Stay local and check out The Crucible's Fire Arts Festival July 15-18. http://snipr.com/mdsjp
  18. I'm here for a month, after which I'll either go to Denmark or wander around Asia until I'm due back in the desert to build Black Rock City.
  19. For them what asked: I've come to Singapore at the behest of my old ILM pal, @TadLeckman, to teach his latest batch of aspiring VFX artists.
  20. Still: have managed to churn out an eight page exegesis on photo-realism and the fundamental methodology of pro VFX. Opinions. I has them.
