I have my blog back. For those who didn’t know, Davin moved, and as such so did my blog. Yes, it was a bit of a surprise for me too, otherwise I would have given some warning. But I’m back. It’s good to be back. I’m going to try and get everyone caught up over the next couple of days, so stay tuned. 🙂

em space meetup
So I went to my first-ever meetup.com sponsored event — graphic designers of Sarasota. Now, I don’t fancy myself a graphic designer per se; I’ve used Illustrator maybe, twice, and I’ve never used Indesign. But Aimee (to the left of Anthony — the guy wearing the yellow shirt — above), who runs the group, saw that I’d listed that I was a Mac user in my meetup.com profile, and got me to come out. I’m glad I did, it was fun. Lots of Mac users in this town, if you know where to look 🙂 Shouts to TBone, Elizabeth, Mikki of sptv.com, DillJen, Aimee, Anthony, Edwin, Amanda, We got our drizzink on at Mickey’s (shown above): a little pricy, but the food was good (try their pizza). Then Liz, JenDill, Aimee, Anthony, Amanda and I headed over to the 5-O to continue the drinks and get our groove on. There was an 80s coverband playing — Life on Mars — and, apart from their terrible Billy Idol, they weren’t bad. 🙂 Anyhow, lots of fun, looking forward to the next meetup. -
Review: Enron — The Smartest Guys In The Room

So I saw the film Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room at Burns Court on Sunday. And, contrary to what I was expecting, it wasn’t all big-corporations-are-evil propaganda. Rather, it provided character sketches of key people involved and did an good job of tying together a bunch of events which I’d only heard bits and pieces of through the news. It also includes a startling number of damning clips from internal Enron videos/presentations. That alone made the $7.50 entrance fee worth it. Check it out if you get the chance.
