Hello All
The recent weeks have been marred with sleeping in, drinking (by the way, a girl bought me a drink then I couldn’t find her afterword, if you are one of the two readers, I tried), overall laziness, “Californication” (the TV show, I’m in Seattle) and deciding what the f*** I should be writing on this crappy little blog. I have options, many options.
I could write some tutorials, after all we know those are interesting, I could even add a few cuss words in to make it more worth while. Lets be honest, its the only way I can manage to get people to laugh anyway. I could write quips and ideas that somehow relate to design or technology, those have potential, but are much, much harder than the other options. I could turn this into a self indulgence and write horrible blog posts that center on the only supreme being I know, myself. But then I would be just like all the other losers in cyberspace.
All that is boring, so, lets talk about the death of Theatre.

Think of these computer programs as tools, just like a hammer…
