Warning, danger, Will Robinson. I just received this frightening blast from the past. The aviator glasses are bad enough, but OMG, those BURNS! Not to mention the stupidest shirt I could possibly find, which I wore all of the bloody time. Oh, and that look on my face—I thought I was hot sh!t. Aren't you glad you checked in today?

Zack: "And?"
I'm taking a break from making videos. After grinding out 22 of them, I'm kind of burned out, and I don't have the creative energy left to do any more—or much of anything else, for that matter—for the time being. I think I'll bake some brownies instead...

Parts 8, 9 and 10 of the video companion to David Builds a Home are online. They're coming a little easier, now that I've established a rhythm. The only real difficulty I usually encounter is keeping the time consistent. I make all of the videos the same length mostly to avoid getting verbose, which is altogether too easy for me to do.

Parts 5, 6 and 7 of the video companion to David Builds a Home are online. I'm not sure how long I can sustain this series, because I took progressively less video as work progressed. But, I haven't gotten to the good stuff yet, so I'll take it as far as I can.
