I need to be setting some writing goals. I still have a last few things to finish up regarding my graduate school degree, which won’t take long if I put my mind to it. I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I want to work on, though, that I’m not so sure where I want to start. It wouldn’t hurt to get organized. I just have to get to it.
The trick is probably going to be edging off the starting line. I want to do it for myself, if for no other reason. But we’ll see how far I get. Mental discipline.

I’ve been watching a lot of advertising lately, specifically material that is part of the Duke University AdViews collection. Post was a client of D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles (DMB&B), the agency whose ads appear in that archive.

Just little bits and pieces I noticed. Probably never would’ve seen it if I hadn’t watched those ads back-to-back.

This is fascinating. The idea of disappearing has always appealed to me — by that I mean, the concept of “what would I have to do, what would I have to give up, to make it work?” I know I couldn’t. There’s no way. And I don’t really want to. Just fun to consider how it would have to work to be effective.
But this article on Wired.comĀ is fascinating.

Computer forensics is also interesting to me. What does it take to track people down?

Seeing this post in Schott’s Vocab blog this morning reminded me of how in Joss Whedon’s Firefly people used Chinese expressions mixed in as a matter of course. I wonder if that’ll ever really happen or if it’s just a weird happenstance that this one’s caught on.
