Things on my mind that are slightly more verbose than 140 characters:
- Life imitates art: Donald Miller talks in an interview about how working in film has improved the way he structures his life. A tidbit:
“So I realized that the principles these guys were using to make a story meaningful could also be applied to my life: A protagonist who has an ambition makes for a better story. If they want something that’s self-sacrificing, it’s an even better story. If they’re willing to endure conflict to get the thing—the more conflict, the better the story. “
For the full interview, head over to his blog.
-In the course of my job, I often send things to producer types outside of the studio. And I need to be able to prove that they received the material, so I use a tracking device to tell me that my e-mail has been delivered.
Sometimes that tracker knows the individual better than expected. Like this computer generated response:
“This Return Receipt only acknowledges that the message was displayed on the recipient's computer. There is no guarantee that the recipient has read or understood the message contents.”
Translation: “Hey, I just hand off the message. Don’t blame me if this guy is too dense to comprehend it.”

-I will be seeing the Star Trek movie tomorrow, but like other Trekkiere’s (only posers go by Trekkie or Trekker – that argument is so Next Generation) I am fearful. It seems the movie is disappointingly good, as The Onion points out.
Ah well, I will try to enjoy it despite the great action and intriguing character dynamics. But we’re just quibbling here, and (it must be said) that’s the trouble with quibbles.
Until Horta hears a who, I’m keeping my hopes up.
Just my thoughts,
Sean

Personally, I like "Trekkii."
Ah, bad Star Trek puns. This must be heaven!
