But he’s right about pretty much everything else. Below is an instructional rap video from The Poetic Prophet on the importance of proper coding. Seriously.

Starting now, I will no longer be updating this blog and instead will be writing over at http://www.stirlingmclaughlin.com/blog.
I hope to see you all there.
Love,

I realized today that I haven’t posted anything to my blog in over a month. Oh the Horror! It isn’t that I haven’t had anything to say. It is more the case that I have had so much to say that I have been paralyzed by it. It is almost as if my life carried out a denial of service attack on my brain. I had to google that last sentence to see if it even made sense.
I had a whole list of prediction for the Oscars. I could post them now, but I don’t see the point anymore. Also, since they all came true, people would just assume I was lying to make myself look smart. I’ll have to remember to date stamp all of my better ideas from now on.
In other news, I moved to a new apartment at 190th street. I now have a dishwasher and an elevator! As I child I dreamed of having one or the other. But both? Ludicrous! Every morning I wake up and wonder when the fabulous rich people who’s pad I’m squatting in will come home from their vacation and kick me out. Then my cat punches me in the eye and I remember that yes, this is my life!
Sorry I was gone for so long.

The process developed by Dr. L.S. Fan at Ohio State and funded through a grant from the Department of Energy, will turn coal into hydrogen without releasing any ozone depleting carbon dioxide. Thats the good news. The bad news? Well, despite claims from the U.S. Coal Industry, coal isn’t exactly a renewable resource.
But, then again, what is a little strip-mining and a few slag mountains in the name of the environment… wait, what?

I took the this picture just down the road from my parents house in the Silver Spring suburb of Washington DC. You can tell by the dirt on the cover that this has either been outside for quite some time, or perhaps it was used as third base in a neighborhood game of stick ball. Being the patriot that I am, I didn’t look inside the binder, but something tells me this shouldn’t be left out like this.
A whole hell of a heck has been going on over here recently. Since my last post I quit my job at Cliff Freeman & Partners, had a baby named Nika Bean, got a new job at Atmosphere BBDO, and bought an apartment sized washing machine. Needless to say, I have been far to preoccupied with my “actual” life to pay attention to my somewhat less eventful, but equally important, virtual one. For this, I appologies.
If you would like to see pictures of my baby (washing machine pix coming soon) you can do so here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stirlingmclaughlin/
For anyone who has always wanted to talk to people online, but still wants to be able to show off their fancy dental work, I may have a solution for you. Today I had my first Mother-Son video chat. My mother, the one with the hair, just got an iSight for her computer. I was then able to hook up my old Sony TRV 900, and with very little tinkering I was able join in on the fun.
Now, for the first time in years, I can talk to my mother AND wear pants.
This is a photo taken at 20 weeks of my very first and most favorite daughter. She is due on November 9th. Yes, we have a name, and no, I can’t tell you what it is. You will have to check back in early November for an update.
