Run, run, run would you wear that black liner baby?

So prototype phase is basically exciting at work. Had awesome meeting, there was gesturing and drawing on the whiteboard, and gasp, we're actually standardizing our documentation. Yes, this sounds boring, but it's important. Up until now it was basically a system I sort of farted around with and went with my own idiosyncrasies. Basically this is a Good Thing. Worked out the issues with the latest version of the last module, also good. Might be having lunch with the minions and Flash Wizard next week, as FW wants to hang out besides through email. Which is cool. He has cool hats, so obviously this will be fun. Herding people together is easier at the beginning of the day, so I'm glad I jumped in while FW was in town (he's one of our remote workers, he lives a county away in hill country and doesn't like leaving his house if he doesn't have to... I personally don't have the discipline to work from home, else I might).

Had the interesting experience of being the most Math Knowledgeable person in the room earlier, which is hilarious. It's all about context.

I'm very glad there are people with more experience on the fun and cool side on the team now. While I have a certain amount of experience there from a user and person who read a lot of sci-fi back in the day standpoint, I do feel more comfortable with the boring parts. Maybe it's because they're more challenging or the huge chip on my shoulder from struggling in school has finally yielded something useful; whatever it is, I'm glad to have someone tell me that something is not fun and how to make it so. Or at least throw ideas around with me. Team bigger = awesome.

Some other basically awesome things:

+ io9's awesome and spoileriffic take on the latest BSG episode. I'm highly amused and entertained.

+ Gamer research has yielded something weird. PMOGs sound basically gimicky to me, but part of me wants to play. It's the word passive being in there that does it for me. And I am lazy. Maybe I'll poke around.

+ This may sound like common sense but I like it when articles like this pop up in my feed. I know personally there's a huge correlation between physical and emotional clutter; I've cleaned up my act quite a bit in the last half a year or so, and I'd like to think that's really helped my emotional health. Or maybe my emotional health has gotten to the point I feel good enough to want to get put together. Who knows. Still nice.

And something not so awesome:

+ Earthquake. And this is where I remember I'm mortal and on a major fault line. Luckily it doesn't move much.
