Future me

My friend Rob just e-mailed this picture he found of me from the future. I think it's pretty accurate.
In other news I'm in the process of moving this blog to tumblr and building a new layout. So expect that to happen sooner or someday. I may even link kevinjcorrigan.com to it, which I've owned for about a year. We'll see.

I'm a Rock Band

Just a little project to play with my new camera and practice editing. I want to do a much, much bigger one if I can get a hold of a copy of Final Cut Pro. We'll see.

I never noticed how quirky that cat puzzle looked until now.

This Means War

I e-mailed the owner of kevincorrigan.com a couple days ago to ask about purchasing it. He just responded.

Sorry, but I'm holding it for my cousin Kevin F. Corrigan, he is an actor, we will be building a web site for him.

That sounds reasonable, except that he's owned the domain since 2004 and there's still nothing there.

I'm not going to publish the domain owners name e-mail here because that wouldn't be nice, but if you're bored I'd appreciate it if you took the time to do a whois search and e-mail him to tell him to sell me the domain because he's a lazy butt head and he's never going to build that site.

This only makes me want to beat the other Kevin Corrigan on google even more.

Good Read + Updates

I've been following music/movie piracy news for a long time. There was an awesome article about it on Digg today. Check it out when you have some free time. It's a long read but worth it. I've never read anything on the subject so in-depth and interesting. It's well-written and entertaining too.

On another note, ever since I bought an Xbox 360 a month ago I've been really good with managing my free time. I used to waste most of it wandering aimlessly on the Internet after work. Now I read a lot and devote time to other creative endeavors. Funny, I would have expected such a purchase to result in even more time wasting.

I have a couple Web projects in the works. One of them is very, very stupid and I'm very excited about it. It's kind of a business, but really more of an art project.

Would You Rather

If you were going to be eaten by a giant, would you rather be swallowed whole, have your most delicious parts eaten and the rest thrown away, or be somewhat eaten and then have the rest of your parts made into a coat and other useful things (like the Indians did)?

I would pick the first one. If farm animals were good-humored about their fate they could have great conversations about this.

The Distant Future

Ever since I was a little kid I've tried to imagine what the future would be like. Everyone does. Will we have hover cars? Holographic TVs? Houses that clean themselves? Tonight at Christmas, while listening to my grandmother try to keep up in a conversation about the Internet, I realized what the future will be like. There will be incredible technological advancements. Our children will love them, we will be too old to understand them. Once you hit 50 that's it, that's all the technology you're going to understand for the rest of your life.

PS The conversation was about how I wrote a script for Collegehumor. The conversation was something like this:
Grandma: Is that for the–what is that–the Internet?
Me: Yup.
Grandma: Oh, well I can't watch that, obviously. You can record it and show it to me.

Hat Update

(read this post first)
I heard back from the site I e-mailed within hours. An employee named Heidi informed me that since I brightened her day with my tale of woe that they would amend the site and ship to the US for me. I was very excited and went to order the hat immediately, except the site still didn't offer the US as an option in the drop down menu for shipping. I began to worry after several days went by. Then, after four days they did fixed it for me and I ordered two hats. Yay! Now I'll have a back up if I stick my head out a moving car window again.

All it takes to get what you want is a little humor and a little charm.

I kind of tried to repeat the process with a jacket I bought last year that has holes in it. I'm very picky and don't want to find a new jacket I like. Unfortunately, the jacket doesn't exist anywhere on the Internet. I must have the only surviving one.

Also, thanks to the commenter who said she'd give me her hat. That was nice of you, but I was raised in the 90s and I'm still under the impression that everyone on the Internet is trying to molest me. Thanks anyway.
