About MorrisonFilm

MeHello, my name is Shawn. This is where I put things. This site has been active since 2002. A lot has changed since then but basically I'm still writing ridiculous articles about ridiculous things. You can also look at my Flickr photostream which is a lot of fun if you aren't blind.

This site uses Simplelog, a simple Ruby on Rails weblog application. I explain why I use it in this entry. This site is hosted by Dreamhost.

I've made 4 short films that are currently available online. I also host a semi-regular comedic podcast with Garrett Murray that has a 5 star rating on iTunes!

DrawerGeeks. Really fun website where a group of artists all riff on the same idea twice a month. Especially enjoyed The Grim Reaper.

Each and every visit to Chocolate & Zucchini brings with it a literal watering of the mouth. Usually that’s just an expression. I’ve always been satisfied just reading about the recipes and looking at the pictures but I think I’m going to take a stab at making these Aged Gouda and Dried Pear Biscuits. First of all, I love biscuits. Love. Second, I just so happen to have a block of 18 month aged Gouda in my fridge, much like Clotilde wrote that she just so happened to have 36 month aged Gouda in her fridge. The serendipity of that is too much to resist. I’ve never possessed any sort of Gouda of any kind in my life before this week. Third, this particular cheese that I have in my fridge is the best cheese I’ve ever tasted in my life. Contemplating it taking the form of a biscuit is causing the overproduction of endorphins in my brain.

I’m really enjoying this newish blog called Get Rich Slowly. I’m currently trying to get rid of my debt and am prone to mini personal-finance-obsessions where I momentarily get super-excited about reducing my monthly budget and using Quicken. Ultimately it never fully takes but it keeps me in line. I especially like this article, The Only Credit Card Guide You’ll Ever Need which includes some useful links (Especially the one that allows you to opt out of new credit card mailings – haven’t tried it yet). This post has links to some of the author’s favorite posts and is a good intro to the site.
