Time for a little self-promotion…
Thrillpeddlers - San Francisco’s one-of-a-kind shock and horror theatre company - will be performing my short play “The Torture Of Cavaradossi” this week as part of their “Lovers and Other Monsters” Valentine’s Spectacular. My play [...]

Yeah, I know it’s been nearly forever since my last post. Totally not intentional… just the way things work out sometimes. Let’s just say that I’ve taken on a couple of new projects in the past few months which are taking up much more time and energy than I had anticipated. Add to that the [...]

I was finally able to log in around 4:30 this afternoon, but showed no new messages since midnight last night. A few hours later, my missing mail from today started showing up.

I’ve just posted a new Nike+iPod FAQ to help answer some of the most, er, frequently asked questions about the Nike+iPod Sport Kit. (See the new tab at the top of this page.) I notice that the Apple support forums and Nike forums are filled with variations of the same handful of questions, so I’m [...]
