The Collected Notes of Secret Agent Ska

  • Dearest Steelers,

    Don't expect any sympathy from this Agent Ska. You get paid millions, have a ridiculously devoted fan base, and get to have threesomes with sorority girls whenever you want.

    They get fired.[...]

  • Dear Establishment.

    I will be sleeping in my car the night of November 2nd. You know why?

    So that if you try to tow my car early in the morning of November 3rd, I will be in my car as it is towed- documenting all of it on my trusty flipcam.

  • Frustration abounds.

    My counter is showing that more than 200 people looked at the picture of Luke's notes between yesterday and today.

    What does the counter speak to?

    It doesn't speak to peoples' thoughts on shorthand notation or Luke's 3d modeling abilities. It speaks to the question that many people [...]

  • Luke's notes from the Lawrenceville library meeting.

    Luke didn't seem to notice when I went up with my blackberry and snapped a picture of his notes. They are very comprehensive and detailed. All 10 words...and some 3-d boxes. See below.

    I just saw in the Gamasutra e-newsletter that Fifa 10 is going to be released this week. I like a lot of sports video games such as snowboarding, skateboarding, etc. Hopefully, I can get this game in a couple of weeks once I pay my rent, etc.
