Home alone
I'm getting a very small glimpse into what my life would be life if I were single and childless again. It sucks, really.
I pine for some time alone to read and watch movies and be a slothy man, but the truth is the house is far too quiet and lonely without my girls. I came back home from the family trip a few days early because of some commitments in Austin (one is listed below). My wife and Lilly arrive tomorrow. So, really, it was only one night I spent by myself (and tonight, both my brother and brother-in-law came by; the in-law is sleeping downstairs as I type this), but I slept shittily.
My wife thought I needed a day or two to myself to really revel in my vacation time, but turns out I probably didn't need it. I just want them here.
In other news: a story I wrote for "Masters of their Domains" about the pronunciation Web site Inogolo.com ran in the paper on Sunday. A very tiny video ran with it as well (below):
And today, a segment I did for NPR on video games and "Rock Band" aired. I could have talked for several hours about each aspect of this story, but instead I was tasked with presenting the present and future of video games in about three or four minutes. Daunting!
You can hear the segment in three parts (don't ask my why they split them up like this; they sometimes run in the wrong order on the Tech podcast). Here they are in order: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
I actually got to hear it on the radio as it aired when I was running errands in Austin and it was a bit of a thrill. I usually am in the office when it's on and only get to hear it afterward, online. I'm still blogging for the All Tech Considered community site, too.
I go back to work Wednesday, then I'm off Thursday, then back in the office Friday. It's gonna be a weird week, schedule-wise.
