I’m on Twitter. I blame Rachel.

I’ll keep blogging, too. I think.

A postcard from the future

Hey, I’ve got a little break from the future action, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to write to all my friends in the past.

The future’s not all that different from the present, truth be told. It’s the little things that ya notice, things like Dippin’ Dots, for instance (y’know the “The Ice Cream of the Future”). It turns out that since the future is now for me, it is now Dippin’ Dots: “The Ice Cream of the Present.”

One of the great things about the future is that telephones are obsolete. Video phoning is where it’s at. Today, I attended the first Better Than The Machine meeting I’ve been to in over a year; and I got to live out my fantasy of attending a BTTM meeting without wearing any pants! They setup Matt’s laptop at Pace and I set mine up at home, and we were able to have a very constructive teleconference meeting, with everyone taking assignments. It was great! I’m definitely writing one thing that they’ll hopefully be filming and I mentioned that if we can try to figure out a bunch of scenes I’m in, I could fly to the city just to film those, and head home. I’m hopefully going to come out there numerous times before settling back in for good. It’s very hard (if not foolish) to try to guess when I’ll be able to come back to the city permanently. But, hey, tell me i could film four things in four days, I’m there guys.

Can’t believe we never thought of this before tonight! It’s so great, it’s like I’m right there. No more excuses.

This took me so long to write at 4 AM. Whew!

I’ll be back to the present just as soon as it catches up with the future. Someone please bring me a pair of pants.

Yesterday, we were told that our Kellogg’s Special K with Birth Control sketch had to be removed from YouTube because the Kellogg Company had noticed it, and they do not like birth control. Also, they said were infringing on their copyrights. Between advice from my dad and Paul’s brother (lawyers both), and the coolheadedness of Ballard, I reluctantly agreed to YouTube’s terms and jumped through all their hoops–including saying that we had broken Kellogg’s copyrights.

I’m annoyed with the Kellogg Company for myriad obvious reasons, and all I can figure is that we accidentally stumbled upon a real product in development. How about that?

P.S. I wonder if they thought the video was funny.
