I went to Santa Fe recently for a conference. It’s pretty out there, but desolate.

Thom’s NEW hat!
Stay tuned for the follow up to Disabled vs Wild!
It came from Chook…
I was going through the Chook page and I found Cliff Woodman’s bio.
My name is Cliff Woodman. My current occupation is as a web designer and technology coordinator for Chook Industries. I also do a lot of web design and graphic design on the side. I graduated from University of Maryland, College Park in 1991. I met up with Larry Snow in the mid 90’s, and he offered me a job with his new company. As I was bored of my job at the time, a computer programming job, I decided to take a chance. It turned out to be one of the best moves I had ever taken.
My interests include reading science fiction, especially old school science fiction. My favorite author is A.E. van Vogt. I also enjoy watching a good anime every now and again. Other hobbies of mine include playing guitar and drawing. I do enjoy a few computer games, mainly the old classics. My all-time favorite game is Wasteland.
I am currently unmarried and live with my dog, Herbert von Wilhelm.
Howard the Duck
Howard the Duck is on Hulu. Check it out.
Update: Robot Holocaust is also on Hulu. Somewhere I’m not surprised that Howard the Duck made it on, which I actually really like. I watched it on VHS last night, and if I had of known it was on Hulu then, I would have watched it there. Robot Holocaust, however, is horrific, which means that if one were to factor the movie into those same pedestrian standards of poor which frequently rank Howard the Duck as atrocious, it could cause one’s head to explode or at least bring about the Robot Holocaust. It does have a nice title though and I like to pretend it was filmed at Sandy Hook even though it was filmed elsewhere.
3 inches of Advertisement on Pitchfork
The music review biz must have been hit hard by these bad economic times. In addition to music whatever, the new Pitchfork site layout features about 3 fat inches of advertisement.
- Picture not to scale.
Haystack Rock
Buff’s brother and his family are moving to Maryland from Astoria, Oregon. Buff and I agreed to help out by flying there and then driving one of their cars the 3000 miles back, which we did last week. One of the perks of the trip was to get to see the Astoria area for the first time.
As someone who grew up fantasizing of having a grand adventure like The Goonies had, visiting Haystack Rock was probably the closest thing I’ve had to having a religious experience.
EDIT: Oh, and here is the photo gallery of our road trip.
ding dong
Brian and Buff got me this for my birthday. I assume that Brian was the driving force here. Thanks. It looks good in front of my door.
It doesn’t show up great in the picture, but it’s sparkly. That’s what the white dots are around the “ding dong.”

Slog
A slog, a slug and a dog. Not a dug, or an arf arf bug. He can be a plug, a puppy and a slug, but just call him a slog -- a slug and dog.
Fortunes
In two separate states, Ohio and Maryland, on the same day, my mother and I both happened to go out and eat Chinese.
She got this fortune.
I got this one.
