A Scanner Darkly

There is a trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s book by the same name. The movie was written for the screen and directed by Richard Linklater. He uses the same “rotoscoping” technique that made his movie Waking Life innovative. The movie stars Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey, Jr, Woody Harrelson and Wynona Ryder. The trailer looks awesome and I hope the movie has great success. If you haven’t read the book, I suggest you read it now.

I was making tacos and put some shredded cheese on the floor for Spike. For the next week he will go check out that spot just in case cheese magically appears again.

As someone who has recently joined a new team (well, actually, rejoined an old team that has all new processes), I’m going to start keeping a WTF Notebook. This is such a great idea, I wish I would have thought about it months ago. Never too late to start.
