Werner’s directors commentary on the DVD is the most articulate I have heard on this medium yet. He talks about the hardships of making the movie, the border war that broke out between Peru and Ecuador, the natives …

It feels so good to have my site back. I don’t even know where to begin. How about my typography class? Well it’s beyond incredible. It’s taught by Bill Moran a third generation letterpress printer and graphic designer. We work with only old lead types and wood alphabets on huge old iron equipment that makes …
oh hey. My site is back online… Wow. I am overjoyed. I think I may have broken some record for sites being down. Denver. Long story short – my old host, although being free, had no idea how to administer their server and had no reason to fix it when it went down. Afrojet was …
A little more redesign here. I wanted to give afrojet that faded out look – something like the Star Tribune newspaper that’s been sitting on my patio since early March. It’s all dusty and hazy. I also wanted to inject some blue and get rid of the underline in the links which was getting uglier …

It’s officially time to move to England. What a great show! DJ Vadim, Strictly Kev from DJ Food and Charlie Dark from Attica Blues. It would take 3 years and $100.00 to see all these guys pass through the arctic tundra of Minnesota. I still remember the DJ Vadim show at the Seventh Street Entry …
A sammich just isn’t a sammich if it isn’t my peanut butter and jelly sammich. I have sat on the mountain, pondered a selfless otherness and found great strength in the design of the perfect PB&J. Lately, the lunch crowd gathers around the table and squeals with glee as I slowly remove my two breaded …
Man I wish I could have an intern. Just a daily life kinda intern. Someone to clip articles from papers and magazines, record televisions shows, listen to my phone messages and sort through my emails to weed out the riff raff. It’s always a game of catch up. Someone like The Wolf (Harvey Keitel) from …
Winner of the morning bachelor golfing: Me. A case of beer later. Prairie fire shots. Wood Tip Swisher Sweets. Really good friends. Dented and dusted from the night before. Here are some of the pictures form Bachelor Party 2002 and some of the shots from the tee.
Madness grips early on today. Bill’s Bachelor party starts in just hours. We hit the links at 9:30AM and I have elected to start things off right with a few Heineken’s to round out my essential food groups of Golden Grams and toast this morning. Deutsche Welle – German News on the cable box. Large …
