Zoolander Pose


Not quite.... I just got some new headshots done. This whole acting thing is a lot slower paced when you're not in school. I've revamped the website to make it obvious what I'm doing now, looking for acting gigs. Even church (http://www.mosaic.org) is slow right now for recruiting people onto the drama team.

I wonder how long it takes to get to the point where I can make absurd films like Zoolander and Starsky & Hutch with the same band of acting buddies over and over, having a blast, and making enough bank to fund whatever projects I want.

Speaking of projects, I've decided I'm going to try to save the world again... that's going to be my day job. Imagine SimCity for third world countries. Instead of building skyscrapers you're picking the smartest irrigation pumps, the best microcredit program, the best solar-powered refrigerators to install in your village. You watch your village flourish as you navigate all the demands of third world politics and economics. "SimVillage" except I can't call it that because it's already taken. Then imagine waking up one day and finding out somebody decided to bankroll your village and build it for real. The village you built in the game was so well done, your church decided to make it happen in real life partnering with World Hope, Google.org, and Ashoka to manage implementation. I'd definitely play the game. Hopefully a few million other people will too. =)

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.  

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work.  After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work.  I went through a nearly  parallel issue with Google Compute Engine.  It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. :  I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.  I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms.  If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech,  I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money:  There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
