Eugene Cordero →
I just finished work on a new site for Eugene Cordero.
Of course it’s built with HTML5 & CSS 3, plus there’s lots of spiffy details (both in the front end and the back) like big fonts with lots of text shadows, programmatic text sizing, automatic iCal creation for shows, a corresponding Tumblr theme, drag and drop videos, and a whole bunch more.
I like when I get to work with big fonts.

Improv Nonsense: Funny, Smart and No →
I’m interested in a discussion on this, although I don’t need you to tell me how people can use the words “funny” “smart” and “no” dangerously. I need ways to use those terms well. At the advanced level, it is often what is missing.
I don’t think I have any authority in writing this, but I am an improv nerd, so I am writing it anyway.
As Alex Berg of Convoy said on a recent UCBTLA podcast, confidence in improv is great, but ego is a turnoff, and that’s how Funny, No and Smart could be used.
Confidence Funny can mean making fun choices that are good for the scene, group or show. Ego Funny can mean dropping emotional commitment/going meta/selling out your scene.
Confidence No can help shape a scene or steer it from veering off into something that doesn’t resemble any human reality. Ego No can bulldoze a scene by dismissing scene partner’s contributions or stop it cold.
Confidence Smart helps with mapping scenes or pulling specifics or doing object work or relating to a scene partner’s ideas. Ego Smart can mean dropping references, which can block out the scene partner, those on the back line, or the audience.
The Geoffrey Melinda Georges Stories →
“Danny, I liked it, it made me laugh”
A while back, I wrote a book called The Geoffrey Melinda Georges Stories and I was going to maybe get copies made up, or try and put it up on some ebook store, but I don’t think anything like that is ever going to happen. So, here is the PDF of it.
Please read and share and enjoy and Happy New Year.

Big New Version of CMPNDM Available Now
A big new update to CMPNDM, the Tumblr theme I created with over 20,000 installs, is available now in the Theme Garden for you installation pleasure.
It still looks similar, but all of the underlying code, the HTML, CSS and Javascript (including funky HTML5 canvas triangle drawing), has been redone. There’s better support for Photosets, Photosets as Slideshows, Multiple Dynamic Columns, Single Column Mode, Dynamically Resizing Header & Footer. The footer has been redesigned, the header has been slightly modified, the fonts have been updated. Even the bullet points on lists are tiny little cute adorable triangles.

Doing a big update to a free theme was tough to fit in between my freelance work, so I’m sure there are bugs and will fix them when I get the time. It took a while for this update, but it was well worth it. If you can, just turn on Infinite Scrolling and watch that load spinner move. It’s awesome.
Infinite Scroll indicator I’m working on for the next update of CMPNDM. It’s a CSS animated PNG on top of Canvas drawn triangles.
