Happy gay pride!

jeff — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:41:26 +0400

Wow, first gay pride I've missed in forever... hope you all are having a good pride weekend, if it's being celebrated where you live. Some cities had theirs already.

All is well in Thailand, no gay scene here, though. Unless you like ladyboys.

I'm off...

jeff — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:16:53 +0400

Just a note that I'm headed to Thailand tomorrow, and will be gone for nearly 7 weeks.

I will have a few chances to log in and such, but if there's anything going wrong on the site, especially any new users doing things out of line, please send me a private message with a direct link to the problem.

I won't have time to find stuff, but if you point me to it, I'll handle it.

Also, you can read about my Thailand travels at jeffwalsh.com

No redesign for Oasis...

jeff — Thu, 21 May 2009 02:50:40 +0400

Well, my contract writing job is ending instead of continuing, which means the "redesign fund" has a new name: "rent."

Not too tragic, though. The day I finish this gig, I'll fly to a beach in Thailand for 6 weeks to finish my novel.

Then 2-3 weeks of fun in Sf with my mom visiting.

THEN, I might be living in NYC for the rest of the year in an apartment swap.

So, lots of interesting stuff on the horizon. NYC is still tentative, the other stuff is pretty certain.

Good times... but no redesign for ya'll.

Michael J. Fox...

jeff — Sat, 02 May 2009 23:15:30 +0400

So, I went to a Michael J. Fox event last night, as he's out promoting his new book and all... and it's mainly him being interviewed on stage for an hour and a half, etc., but one part sounded so similar to the journey of people here, I figured I'd share it.

Hmm...

Adam is apparently doing something wrong...

Green Day...

jeff — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:38:15 +0400

Wow, very tired this morning, but had a chance to hear the new Green Day album last night. Well, by that I mean, I got to see Green Day live in a small San Francisco club play their new album end to end and more, for what was basically a 2.5 hour concert for $20. But started at 10:30p, went until 1, couldn't fall asleep until after 3, and had to wake up at 6 to get to work, so that part wasn't fun.

Ugh, a friendly reminder...

jeff — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 08:42:02 +0300

I just spent over an hour editing content on the site because someone put something identifiable in their signature, which their parents found (probably through Google), which linked them here, and etc.

So, as a reminder, anything you post here has to keep you anonymous. If you want to share a blog or something else, only put it on your profile page, as that has code to prevent it from being scanned by search engines.

Please keep all names, locations, and anything else like that off the site, and out of your posts, signatures, etc.

Thanks,

Jeff

Fruit Fly...

jeff — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 07:13:13 +0300

Just caught the sold-out world premiere of Fruit Fly tonight, a low-budget musical about fag hags in San Francisco, a lot of fun... when it's closer to distribution or somesuch, I'm sure I'll have more to say here...

Pat...

jeff — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:54:37 +0300

So, it seems like no one's heard anything yet.

I know nothing since I last posted.

As soon as someone hear anything, post it here. Of course, I think ya'll know to do that anyway.

Prayers for Bobby...

jeff — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:33:08 +0300

I'm kind of surprised by this... but the article I wrote more than 13 years ago, and five months before Oasis was officially launched about the book "Prayers for Bobby," has gotten a lot of amazing comments from people who watched the Lifetime movie recently...

Many are from people outside the "youth" scope of this site, writing some pretty powerful comments.

Survey mania

jeff — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:39:11 +0300

FOOD AND DRINK

McDonalds or Burger King? Burger King, McD doesn't have a veggie burger. I try to avoid both, though.
Pepsi or Coke? Diet Coke, although I mostly drink black tea.
Sierra Mist or Sprite? No thanks.
Dominos or Pizza Hut? No vegan pizzas here, so screw'm.
Fridays or Ruby Tuesdays? Fridays, if I have to.
Pancakes or Waffles? Pancakes.

Hmm... new error?

jeff — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 03:55:45 +0300

Just noticed that the journals are abstracts on the front page, only showing the first 500 characters or somesuch.

This makes it good for the people who hate seeing long fiction and surveys, but it also shrinks down the journals.

Loving Plushgun

jeff — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:57:38 +0300

I've recently become a bit obsessed with Brooklyn-based band Plushgun, after hearing their first single, "Just Impolite" (video below). Even their EP has only whet my appetite for the full-length album due in February.

Any Bay Area members?

jeff — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:44:09 +0400

I'm having a get-together for my birthday later this month, so just let me know and I'll send you the proper invites, etc.

Unexpected downtime...

jeff — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:22:18 +0400

Hey... Sorry for the site being down this weekend. Our hosting provider was moving servers around and Adrian didn't think we were going to be affected, but as you may have discovered, we were.
