Housewarming party

Thanks all (old friends, new friends, and new neighbors) who could come. I had a super time.

One attendee looked around and remarked that I was the most popular girl she knows. I’m very flattered.

I must also get some more typing paper…

Indie will eat itself

When I was first coming up with new categories for my blog, I assigned all things hipsterish to a category called “Unironic hipsterism.”

Last night I was browsing through very small array, a side project/blog of Dorothy Gambrell, she who makes Cat and Girl and whom I generally adore. As well as having all sorts of delightful graphs and charts and other graphic silliness, there is a circa 2004 drawing called “Indie Will Eat Itself.”

I think that’s a better category name. So I’m going with it.

QuackCon 2008?

You can assume that if I’m not blogging I’m busy with other projects. Of late, I have been crocheting socks, noodling about on the ORG, and making stupid videos.

A tight-knit group of duckies have decided to try to mount a convention on the anniversary of the end of The Show. We’ve selected a few cities we think would be a good meet-up place and we are collecting votes through September 10. We’re talking analysis of lodging, entertainment, transportation, accessibility, etc., during the weekend of March 14-17ish.

The line-up:

  • Austin, TX
  • Albuquerque, NM
  • Chicago, IL
  • New York, NY
  • Los Angeles, CA

Got any thoughts on those places? Let me know.

We are currently counting votes in a project on the ORG and tallying them in a Google Spreadsheet. You can see a live update as we update the stats here. As we get closer to the deadline and a narrower race we’ll do some more investigation into venues, etc.

Sports Racers, Chatting Chats

As Lordess of the Geeks, it’s my job to document Sports Racer IM chats with extremely scientific diagrams.

I should note that drunk puppies, Kool Aid, and transiit in a dress are missing from the graph.

Original pre-move comment from transiit:
Awesome. You get all my “Heroism Gold Stars” for today for actually posting it.

I’m looking forward to when we can beat this record. =)
