Harper Reed: Software, PHP, MySQL, YoYo, Juggling, Baphomet

i suppose, i really do.

so basically I haven’t updated this thing in about 3 years. which is a long time. so I am going to “update” yall as to my whereabouts. so. I got this new job. it is taking a lot of my time. it rules. but I am in a different paradigm than I was when I was at the WB. basically I am totally engaged for 8 hours. I have to be much more accountable and I have to really justify my actions. th…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…

I think she said it best with an analogy to the gears in a car. going…

walking

RULE. I enjoy it. you should come along. it is fun. hmm

last night..

after work I went to the apple store opening. it was interesting. nothing like sitting outside in a line for 2 hours with a bunch of people who are waiting to get into a computer store. I took three rather poor pictures: 1-

this interview is quite something. This movie rules.
seriously. very very funny. and it is called farm sluts. it is every corporate workers nightmare.

So anyway. this weekend was incredibly hot. like not fun hot. I was not excited. I can’t quite remember what exactly went down this weekend. but I think we mostly hung out.

Some new friends of ours came over about o…
