Lisa Simpson in the House!

Hey Folks,

Yesterday Jen and I landed in Detroit, got our tech package met a bunch of other agents and the marketing guys (everyone is super awesome).

And then Lisa Mother F'ing Simpson showed up! I've known Becca like 3 years know via youtube, but this was the first time we've met in person. It was so cool though, we didn't skip a beat it was just like we'd seen each other just last week and were just meeting up again. We had a great time.

She came barring gifts too! Beer and Chocolates. and they're both amazingly good, local made stuff.

I'll upload pics of the stuff later, cause right now I've gotta run to Ford HQ!

Stay Strong,

Nerd Proof Team Logo

Hey Folks,

Just whipped this up. To be clear Eddie Coleman did the SamProof stencil and I did Jen (and the text, layout, etc).

Also for those interested I created a fiesta portal on the SamProof Ning here.

Onward Ho! Team NerdProof Plans in action

Hey Folks,

This snowball is rolling along! Everyday seems to be a new barrage of emails and things to fill out, and send back to Ford - And I like it that way.

The moments after I've filled out the paperwork, sent in the pictures, replied to the emails... I'm just sitting there (unless some one steals a wheel off my car, then I'm thinking up creative curses to enchant the thief like "May you find yourself the recipient of an itchy distended spleen" OR "I hope you get Super AIDS" - I learned this from my dear friend Jim Tucker, who has all but disappeared from life.) So I like the momentum of things to do and be done and sent away in to the ether.

Today my inbox looks like this:


Today "this shit, just got real yo"

To start with we got our NDA's which I'll have to sit down with later, print out, skim over, pretend I comprehend, and then sign away my life. I find it pretty ironic to have an NDA for what is essentially a gigantic PR/Social Media campaign.

I think they should probably have a MDA (Mandatory Disclosure Agreement)
I could only guess what those stipulations would be like

• Please disclose the awesomeness of the product (in a postive light)
• Tweet often about the fun the product brings to you
• Dailybooth at least every two days for 4 months pictures of you enjoying the product
• Blog at least once a month how sexually arousing the product makes you feel.

And now here's a picture.

I'm still futzing around with the text (fonts, colors, layer styles...) so if you have opinions let me know!

Something Amazing Happened to me on the Way to the Forum...

Hey Folks,

This is a story about dichotomy, cosmic balance and the old axiom "You can't be truly happy without having suffered" - well maybe. Mostly this is a blog, that I hope doesn't make you too jealous. :D

So yesterday was suck.

I dragged on through unmotivated to do much of anything.
I tried to treat myself to Sushi, tried to make myself feel "up" but it just wasn't in the cards.

I tried editing videos, tried blogging, tried organizing some photo shoots (which I actually did get accomplished). And then in the wee hours of the night, a few fingers of whiskey and the haze of depression looming I tried to do something instantly creative and gratifying, I took self portraits.

Then I watched LOST one Hulu and went to sleep. Somewhere in the middle of the night my phone, drained of it's battery - shut off. My alarm clock now docile I slept in, I slept till about 1pm at which point in my half awake haze I looked on to my facebook and twitter confounded.

Tons of tweets congratulating myself and @JenFriel and so on... except that last one (technically top one). I just included that because the implication of Pearl in this bikini - too hot.

I immediately found my dead phone and plugged it in, opened gmail and sat in wonder as an email from Ford was congratulating me.

Then I freaked out.

I Pumped my fist in the air, I yelled Attah!, I moshed around the apartment (which was particularly hard because I was still putting clothes on).

Then I texted Jen, called the Ford guy, emailed him, and lost my mind.

I can't help but think some giant door has opened, some weight has been lifted, some unexplained cosmic alignment has found it's way in to my 9th house of.. whatever it is...

Last year was the worst year of my life, and I've been determined to make 2010 the best year of my life to counter it. - This helps, alot.

I want to do something amazing this year not just on a personal level - put on an entertainment level. If it's not publish my novel it's going to me something video oriented. And it's probably going to come out of this.

So the main question that's on my mind is... Jen Friel (Queen of Nerds) & I are now a team so what the hell do you name such a team of awesomeness? Suggestions?

Stay Strong,

PS - nobody tell my Camry about this... she's old and fragile

So Many Stalks!

Hey Folks,

ZOMG So in the last 2 hours I've been IRL and eStalked!

sorta... more like a drive by stalking

See me? (click for bigger)

Then Jen Friel posted one of my status updates as the talknerdytomelover.com 'Facebook Status O'El Dia'

Good times. I should be finishing editing a video, but man I'm fading fast.

Stay Strong,
