last night as i was taking out the trash, i was horrified to find it crawling with flies. really, there were maybe only five or six, but it was certainly a concentration. the real horror was what i knew was underneath all the refuse: a squirming nest of maggots gathered around some week-old sausage. as i lifted the bag, i was relieved to find no leakage and i quickly disposed of it in the dumpster outside. not helping my nerves, there was a raccoon digging in there at the same time. i threw the bag into the dark, returned home and went to sleep.
when i woke up this morning, i remembered the dream i had just experienced. in absolutely concrete terms, what i saw in my dream was a very small (about 5 inches across) canyon with intricate rock formations. Lodged between the walls, well above the bottom of the canyon was a burning bus. how this connects to the night before was that the tiny canyon's ledge was contiguous with the edges of my wastebasket.
so, somehow, the disgust i felt at the maggots i had allowed to grow there manifested themselves in my dream as a burning bus lodged between a canyon.

the reason i'm saying this is because i'm moving to la in six months, will be graduating out there in feb, and i finally care little enough about my coursework to pursue more interesting and practical endeavors (ie: this).

I would, in all sincerity, welcome any of those ideas and anyone who'd like to volunteer to help out. I'd love to do it more often.
i listen to a few podcasts that we could emulate - at least partially - pretty easily and they do not at all depend upon industry events to put out great content. not to mention they do it weekly. i'll brainstorm a little bit and PM you about it. i think there's a few people here, myself included, whose careers in the industry could benefit from putting out some quality podcast content. could drive a lot of traffic here, too, giving you the necessary kick in the bum to finally get all these database errors sorted out
