| Hosting |
Feb

| Suddenly,
it seems like hosting is going to happen afterall. Thank
Jesse at webandvideodesign.com
for his help and insight, and for his constant searching
for a better deal on hosting. We'll see if soon I can
get clapboard.org running with the big dogs. There might
be a time for a redesign somewhere here, what with the
new site and the new images. We'll see. |

I
didn't.
No Mindspring DSL. They couldn't guarentee me anything
in terms of speed and all they would promise is that
after I cancelled my Telocity DSL I would have a month
to wait before I got hooked up to a new connection.
Maybe less. So Telocity, here I stay. Here with my static
IP and my irritating connection speed. Well, my sometimes-irritating
connection speed. |

| VENTURE
4? Could it be? |
Feb 7th,
01 |
| So
I hear this rumor yesterday, and i wanted to put it
up so I could look at it in the archives in a month
and consider the changes of fate. I hear that Krol is
interested in doing VENTURE 4. But it's not only Krol
but Adam. Am I psyched about this prospect? Yes, indeed.
Is VENTURE 2 finished yet? Not remotely. VENTURE 3 awaits
only a few special effects and a little more editing,
and we'll be finished. |

| I'm
switching providers--Telocity, while replete with polite
customer service couldn't deliver the goods at 640/128.
Now I'm going to try Earthlink and see what happens.
They're not promising anything, but they're giving me
potential service of 1.5 Mbps down the pipe. We'll see
what happens. I'm also looking to rehost Clapboard.
*crosses fingers.* |

| Small
updates in the works |
Jan

Always
tinkering, I thinned out the page significantly, maybe
too much. We'll see. There's a new Board and a slightly
new look for it, too. My screenplay is coming more
slowly than I would like to, but all the text is now
in Venture3 and i'm awaiting time with my roommate
to sit down and go over the book to put in sound and
visual effects. Krol says that book2 will be finished,
art-wise, by the end of February--I'm hoping he's
right. That would be too much to ask for, really,
2 books in a year.
I've
also been thinking about filmmaking in general recently,
and about how the dream changes and gets updated with
the times. In fall 1998 I thought for sure I could
head back to NYC after graduation and get a job on
a movie set, no problem. We now know that's not possible.
It is, in fact, almost imposible, although I'm giving
it a different-intensity go. It is interesting, however,
to look into the past and see the different iterations
of the dream and relate them to where I am now.

| Closer
Than Skin - a poem |
Jan
16, 01
|
| |
closer
than skin
like a
mystery
a breeze
that blows soft
upon my face
you touch me
with the wind's gentleness.
I can never
be sure
I only know when you are there
and when you're gone
but I cannot see you moving.
When my
eyes open
and I cannot find you
my memory is uncertain
were you there?
when?
did we touch
or did you just touch me?
When you
are here
we speak no words
when I can feel you
we are closer than skin.

| Visitors! |

My
sister is coming to visit! Maybe even Kauffman will
make it up from his 70+ hours a week of (ahem) work.
We'll see.
In
other news, if anyone knows anything at all about
Authorware, I'd love some help over here. Drinking
with the coworkers was fun (terribly 'Corporate America'
I know) and probably good for me, too. That about
does it over here for today.

| Considering
the past |
Jan

|
| A
year ago I had just quit a job as a professional portrait
photographer, leaving me thinking more than usual about
the look of people on film. I learned a good deal about
the way I thought of photography, if not a bit about
traditional portrait styles and how to make people comfortable
in front of my camera. I liked my job. I was good at
it. Having found this page today makes me think about
that time a year ago when I put this up for the first
time. My world was a pretty different place then. So
take a look at the pics
of me that I snapped during my time as a photographer. |

Taking
a cue from my father's meeting passtimes, I doodle
a little when Corporate America does its thing on
me.
In
other news, the first full week of 2001 continues
to forecast good things for 2001 the likes of which
were scarce in 2000. We'll see.
