Hurm News: Updating My Movable Type

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:03:58 -0600

I'm posting this from my iPhone. That's actually the second update. The plugin that helps for easier posting from my phone depends on the first update, which was me taking a big leap of faith and bringing my Movable Type installation from 3.x up to 4.x version. Both changes may help me make posts from Comic-Con, which happens next week! So exciting!

Even though there's no Playtime Projects comic today, I want you to know that I'm still thinking of you. And to show how much, I've even set up some things you can wear or leave lying around the house. You can check out the Thinking of You design over at http://www.cafepress.com/pp001.

Hurm News: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Tue, 27 May 2008 11:59:49 -0600

I love Indiana Jones and the previous movies—Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie. I love his confidence and capability. I love that these are modernized 1930s/1940s movie serials. I love that Indy is a skeptic even in the face of dramatic mystical events. I love that Indy has his simple flaws (snakes) and his major ones. But. . . .

Hurm News: The Dentist and the Lizard

Thu, 15 May 2008 12:39:19 -0600

I went to my dentist yesterday (Dr. Mollie Kentor—a great dentist!). I needed some work done on a couple of teeth.

After I sat down and they started prepping, but before any actual work begun, a small green lizard skittered across the floor. This freaked out my dentist and her assistant for a bit. After a few moments it became clear that they weren't the greatest lizard-catchers. So I sat up and took off the dental-bib and began stalking the beast. They gave me a small cup, which I used to wrangle my prey. Within a few minutes, I had him cupped. I brought him outside and let him go. When I returned, I was greeted with thanks and sighs of relief.

Moment later, we saw a different lizard outside the window. He seemed angry that his buddy wasn't there waiting for him. Angry at us.
