Several weeks ago, I came up with a radically new idea... to infrequently post a cryptic online record of things going on! This I've decided to call a Web-Based Log (WOG for short).

Here's what's going on...

I found the picture on the left recently. I was 4 (1988). But then I realized something... those Vampire Weekend guys (well, maybe not the one on the drums having some sort of seizure) ripped off my 4-year-old style! Really, Vampire Weekend? Really? COME ON!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

It's been a good spring in Seattle. Sometimes it rains.

This is what I think a sparse (and almost very sparse if only you'd threshold it) matrix looks like.

I recently passed my general exam. Just before the professors came in, I took this picture. You see, the night before I took my exam, I loaded two iPods with playlists. One was loaded with a morose, somber playlist (failure) and the newer orange iPod was loaded with a peppy success playlist.

I should also explain that a few months ago I was biking and sweating a tremendous amount while wearing the white iPod and I somehow short-circuited the battery with all of the sweat I was producing. It was probably the most masculine accomplishment of my life. And so now it doesn't play music. It doesn't play music at all. That, friends, is why it is the failure iPod.
