one. durin gleaves is my name
two. at my desk at work
three. good, thanks. my baby is forgoing crawling altogether and will likely be fully walking before he's 11 months. wife's been sick a bunch with this recurring sinus and ear infection. me? i'm great
four. exactly? i exactly spend my time doing what needs to be done or what i enjoy doing.
five. i develop audio software. i get to spend all day coming up with ideas for audio production that have never been done, or that are too inefficient or boring the old way.
six. i don't like when some grande idea dies a death in committee or because it's "too real" for the average user. last time i checked, our motto wasn't "average stuff for average users" though that seems to be what makes money.
seven. every pull food out of the freezer, and as it defrosts and you recognize what it used to be, you see it's all corroded and rotten? something big like that is going on over in DC.
eight. anyone interested in buying a 1975 international pickup or 1980 international schoolbus/motorhome conversion should contact me. both have new tires.
nine. i think we'll see the return of the naval-uniform type of pants, the style gene kelly danced in with mickey mouse, though the waistline won't need to come up above the bellybutton. The wide legs and tight top will be a nice change. i'd also like to see more people hacking nature, a green cyberrevolution. can genetic engineering be all that bad if that slacker kid down the street is doing it?
10. thirty-seven.

1) My name is Greg. Sometimes my friends call me Greggy. And I like to think of it as Greggie! spelled with an exclamation point. Kinda like the beer, Burgie!
2) I'd like to answer this question with a question. Is where I am foggy?
3) Well, if you're speaking of my family, they're fine. Mother is swimming several miles a day, Papa is leveraging a deal with a large Italian conglomerate, my child is digging a hole through the center of the earth - he's made it about 16" so far, my ex-wife made a very nice dinner for herself and our son, my girlfriend is excitedly sorting through her stuff with the eager anticipation of me moving in, and I am sitting in a foggy locale.
If you're asking about THE family, I think they're also fine. But a different fine.
4) Generally I spend my time designing and/or making things to sell to people. However, at other times I tickle my son. And at even other times I cook dinner for my friends. In the times between the times I ride a motorcycle in the fog. And then I make time to read.
5) Well, when I'm designing, sometimes I find myself hypnotized and in a dream-like state where things that are normally real aren't and things that aren't normally real are.
6) Sometimes I have to fire people. Other times I'm not paying close enough attention to what I'm cooking and I ruin a perfectly good soup. Occasionally when I'm tickling my son it can be overwhelming for him and he gets a little afraid. Every so often I don't see a car that's cut in front of me in the fog.
7) This question seems like a penis joke.
8) The large Deathbot plush is sitting on the couch looking at me rather inquisitively, so I'll mention him. Hello, Deathbot.
9) I'm going to pick 8 designs to finalize for some children's onesies. And then I'll have a beer.

1) What is your name?
Erin.
2) Where are you right now?
In global literature class pretending to pay attention and be more interested in Jane Eyre than MOCOLOCO. I don't think I am very convincing.
3) How's the family?
They're pretty good. I moved from Illinois to New York so they are far away but we still keep in touch.
4) What exactly do you do with your time?
That's a very good question. I spend a large majority of my time online and hours go by that I don't remember spending doing anything. Tis the curse of the internet I suppose.
5) What do you like most about what you do?
I go to school. I like learning but sometimes I'd rather be making money in a career. But that is soon to come.
6) What do you like least about what you do?
It's boring and some professors are really senile. Which, I suppose is entertaining at times but not reassuring as far as my education.
7) Anything big going on?
Nothing too big except some random silent dispute among roommates. But that will either continue or take care of itself. I'm not going out of my way to fix it.
8) Anyone you'd like to mention right now?
Danny. He means a lot to me. Moving so far away from home isn't as bad when you love someone.
9) What's next?
Lunch and then work. I think there's something to eat in the fridge....
10) What number am I thinking of? The number is between 1 and 55.
