What is this place?

a warm gun is the personal web site of multimedia artist and resident geek Ian Adams, based out of Seattle, WA. This particular page shows all posts from May, 2008.

Where is everything?

The most recently posted stuff can be found on the front page. Older posts and articles are listed, by category and date, in the archives. There is also the Link Blog, which is my (almost) daily list of interesting links and brief commentary on AWG-related topics.

Additional areas on this site can be accessed by using the navigation links on the far left. (Or far bottom if you’re visiting this site using an alternative browser like Opera Mini.)

I just realised that I’m a professional consultant.

Just saw a Coke commercial with James Carville and Bill Frist in it. Bizarre.

Who the hell was taking a poll in October asking how favourable Oprah Winfrey was to people?

Still, Flight of the Conchords was worth it. They kick ass live!

I understand now why people are always bitching about sunburns. (This is only the second one I’ve had in my life, and the first bad one.)

I have absolutely no idea where I am but I think this is where I’m sleeping tonight.

What am I doing while the phoenix lands on mars? Bowling in ellensberg.

(I have no idea where I am.)

Just ran into Jorge from work on some random street in Ellensberg while snapping photos of a staircase. Now playing pool in a bar.

Gah! Too much carbon dioxide! Must open window!

Going to sleep in a rest stop near Ellensberg.

Upright Citizen’s Brigade was fookin’ hilarious.

Driving east on I-90. Just cleared the Cascade Mountains.

Typing that probably just gave my iPhone’s dictionary some bad habits.

Ik ben met mijn gat in de boter gevallen.

Watching a Verizon FIOS ad with Michael Bay in it and remembering just how much of a hack Michael Bay is.

@hypertextgirl: not that I could see, no.

Two fire engines just showed up across the street from my bus stop. An impressive display of my tax dollars at work.

A hairstyle’s not a lifestyle; imagine Sid Vicious at 35.

Looks like Microsoft has broken Hotmail in Safari again. Why do they keep doing that? Some of us still need our spam sponges.

What a great speech. I can’t think of a better man or woman to lead our country at this moment in our history than Barack Obama.

Why aren’t there ‘Ancient Rome’ LEGOs?

Planning shelving for my bedroom. It’s a lot more complicated than I initially thought.

Specifically, trying to figure out how to turn its L-channel mono jack into a stereo input.

Trying to figure out how to use my Sony CDF-600 stereo as AirTunes speakers.

You know its a bad sign when you’re waiting on hold and "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" starts playing as the hold music.

Does anybody have a bb gun I can borrow for one night? (Serious replies only.)

Just noticed that the product picture for Airport Express on Apple’s UK site has a North American power plug. Oops!

Things are coming together for this summer’s European holiday. Can’t wait!

Waiting for the bus. Someone nearby is blaring ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ from their car. Haven’t heard that track since high school.
