    God damn you, Scott. That's what I was going to blog about tonight.

    This was pretty cool except for the whole painted face thing. I don't think it really added anything special to his videos other than creeping me out. =/

    Minimum wage in San Francisco is $9.36/hour.

    My uncle's on the trumpet site. I think that's pretty cool.

    I was listening to the whole show with a bit of a puzzled look on my face until I realized that you have a 75 mile commute. Maybe it's a small-town reaction, but it would never occur to me to get a job that far away from my house. Interesting podcast.

    The kind of work we do doesn't exist outside of major cities. There are probably less than ten cities in the world where I could get a job even close to what I have now. I've never lived outside of the orbit of a major city in my entire life.

    The problem with this is that living within the borders of one of these global cities is prohibitively expensive. Someday...

    There's a mile marker at the train station that says NY 69. It's maybe a mile from the train station to our house. Where did you get the extra 5 miles from?

    Not knowing the precise address of your jobs or house, I just did a Mapquest search for "Manhattan, NY" to "Beacon, NY" which probably used arbitrary city centers for the distance estimation.

    So that's why you chose Beacon!

    Wow. That's far but if the pay is good it's worth the trip.

    It's not so much about pay, its about actually having work in the first place. With my profession you really can't be choosy. There's not much going on in small towns if you are in the film industry (and there are no Kinokuniyas or Beard Papa's but that is beside the point). Basically, NY or LA are the big centers for film and either way there would be a commute. However, in New York I spend about an hour sitting on the train every morning and evening, playing my DS, reading my books, drawing, writing, etc. where as in LA I would fight for my life on 6 lane freeways of death. I choose my battles.

    The show isn't in iTunes. Scratch that.
