South Africa?

I wasn’t around the office much this last week- Paul sent me off to an HTML boot-camp to help me realize my dream of becoming a geek- but I really get off on seeing everyone’s comments on the last post. I mean, South Africa? South Africa is reading this? That’s awesome! You’re all great. I look forward to chatting with you over at the Paul Morris Forum.

The boot-camp was great. Three days of listening to a hyper-energetic (yet very patient) teacher talk about tags, tables, and cascading style sheets made me really excited to start reading the source codes on websites. I can’t actually design anything yet- my skills are limited to changing colors and fonts at this point- but I’m looking forward to wearing my sunglasses at night and pretending to be a hacker when chatting up the regulars at the local martini bar.

Here’s the second installment of the “T.I.M. applicants” file:




Let us know what you think about him. The response to last week’s picture set was overwhelmingly positive (and by the way, rbrskin, as far as I can tell, no- there’s nothing more than platonic interspecies love between this boy and his dog), and this feature will help us decide on future models- kind of like American Idol, but with more buttfucking and less hubris.

A few moments ago, Paul walked up and announced that Dawson is even more accessible than before (which, if you’ve seen him in a blindfold, is kind of hard to imagine). He can now be contacted at his brand-new Treasure Island Media account- Dawson@treasureislandmedia.com, so feel free to send him gifts, love, or the electronic equivalent of stained jock straps.

As for last week’s beanies- I’d love to send them out, but my ESP is broken! Please, please email me your mailing addresses with your requests for beanies, because sticking them in a box addressed to “piggybttmguytx” never seems to work. Same for “Anonymous”. If you asked for a beanie last week but didn’t send me an address, do it now! And if you didn’t ask for a beanie, go ahead.
