It’s one of those things that has me simultaneously jumping for joy and sick to my stomach…the Washington Post has picked our play, The Devil’s Christmas Carol, as one of the six “intriguing picks” of the Capital Fringe Festival…and my picture is in today’s Weekend section of the Post!

How I did it: I don't think words can quite express exactly how annoying this little form that they force you to fill out is. Are you listening, 43T? Can you at least make this optional, please? Read how I did it…
How I did it: Had my buddy come over with his truck and we got it knocked out; paid him with a delicious dinner. Honestly, this "story" thing is just a bit of overkill for most goals! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Got on a conference call with my service host from Home Pages Plus!, and we worked out all the details. There was some minor problems in transfer of the name because it's a .us and he's in Canada, but ultimately, no worries. Hopefully we'll have it in place on DNS soon. I trust him to make that happen, so I'm marking it as done. Read how I did it…

23. As I noticed today: I use the English pronunciation of the word “scone” (which sounds more like “sconn” or “scunn”), as opposed to the Scottish and American way (long “o”).
24. I have a poor idea of how I do many things; I just sort of do them. I don’t know whether I’m a good singer or actor – I have to rely on someone else to tell me when I’m doing it right. (Computers are a bit easier because you have an empirical test: does it work? Okay, good, I did it.)
