I read this today in boingboing: The Nightmare of Sleep Paralysis and it hit close to home.

Sunday night, I had a strange series of dreams. In my dream, I was asleep and suffocating, but unable to wake up. Slowly, I would wake up, but I was still suffocating. I would try to reach out to Kym or scream out, thinking that if I woke her up, she could fully awaken me, but I was paralyzed and mute. I couldn’t make my body move, or make any sounds come from my mouth.

I had this dream three or four times that night, and after each episode, I would wake up, and not know if I was really awake or still asleep. Oh, and the part about it being terrifying… true, very so true.

It’s all just Simple Math to me.

The main obstacle to producing a personal web site is not bandwidth or technology, but rather substance. Honestly, most people don’t have much of importance to say, and I’m no exception. Yes, the web is interactive. . . but personal sites are always a monologue. So rather than waste valuable bandwidth displaying pictures of my cats or listing the complete contents of my music collection, I deliver this small offering. Enjoy.

For the terminally curious. . . I grew up in Cheraw, South Carolina. In 1994, I entered Davidson College in North Carolina. Four years and one thousand cups of coffee later, I was granted a degree in History and was sent on my way. I stayed in Davidson where I worked in the Archives of the college library and did a little freelance web design. In June of 2000 I hitched up to the big city of Washington DC and started working at an honest-to-goodness web concern — Away.com.
Fast forward  seven years later, I have landed my dream job at the world famous Threespot Media. Home of the never-ending awesomeness.

New home and new look. I just moved from my old host (Valueweb) to a new host (Dreamhost). The change was a snap, and between their awesome control panel, and their one-click install of Wordpress, the whole move took about 12 hours. The current design is one of the Wordpress available themes, but soon I will make it my own.

Anyway, if you are looking for a web host, let me suggest Dreamhost. They are good, fast, and inexpensive.

So, Kym and I just finished watching Garden State (thank you Netflix). The soundtrack is, of course, awesome, so we queued up a few songs in Real Rhapsody (thank you Internets). Exploration of The Shins led up to Modest Mouse. Now, Kym has just returned from India and points east, so she missed the whole “Spring of Modest Mouse”. You know, you couldn’t go to the bathroom without hearing Float On.

So, I played it for her, again via The Internets.

Ten seconds into it, she was over it, and then:

“The last time I heard these guys, they were called The Talking Heads.”

BURN!!!!
