Lately mostly my friends at work. Online, my new interest is filing bug reports, feature requests, and looking over the virtual shoulders of developers at the Mozilla project (using their Phoenix browser).

Truly Funny.

I read boxing news and frequent the message boards over at maxboxing.com. For some laughs, I take part in battle royales over at ShiftyEye. I have written numerous emails to StrongBad at Homestar Runner without a single reply. How's that?

welcome as a guest speaker Don.
I have very high expectations... ;-)

03 Apr 2003 | alisha said...

guest poster I mean....

03 Apr 2003 | Don Schenck said...

This is terribly, TERRIBLY sexist; Alisha, you're stunning.

I won't disappoint you. I promise to get you angry enough to throw things at me -- at least once. Okay ... after the above comment ... twice *wink*

Ride, build and hang at the a4.
Hang with friends who also like working on American cars.
Associate with people who also graduated here or surf and snowboard or play guitar.

03 Apr 2003 | Don Schenck said...

p8, that A4 site is nice. Looks like a blast, too!

You surf? Great. Got a WRV?

03 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

Thanks Don.
Ridng the trails is a bit like surfing. You jump stuff without paddling, flowing around, pumping, going with the flow.
I surf a little but I suck and I'm scared of the 'big' waves which to me is more than 6ft :).
We try to go on a surfing trip for a week every year.

What's an WRV?

03 Apr 2003 | Don Schenck said...

p8 -- I'm MORE of a novice on the waves, believe me; but I still love it.

WRV = Wave Riding Vehicle, a popular brand. My next.

03 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

One of the things I like about surfing is just sitting on my board waiting for the waves. It's very relaxing after a hard day of work :)

The A4 looks a bit like some of the trails through the woods that I rode on when I lived in Vermont. One night I was riding home after supper with some friends who lived on the other side of the mountain, and when I came fast around a bend I surprised a smal herd of deer -- I missed one of them by about six inches. It would have made quite an amusing story in the paper the next day if we'd collided.

03 Apr 2003 | alisha said...

p8 is dutch :-)
we like dutch people.

04 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

:-) Most germans/americans I know are very nice people too.

Don's last name is dutch. Famous dutch speed skater Ard Schenk won three gold medals at the olympic medals in 1972.

Is Das Kreativenetzwerk a group of freelancers working together on different projects?

04 Apr 2003 | alisha said...

Don, thanks for your compliment - Im sometimes a bit rash with my humor. I know were going to now hear, "Don and Alisha kissing in a tree...k-i-s-s-i-n-g...."

Don's last name is dutch.
---
but I thought Dons last name is german: Schenk, as in "Geschenk" (a gift) or "schenken". (to give a gift) Pretty appropriate Id say. So which is it Don?

Yea, most of them are good friends of mine. We just thought it would be a cool marketing idea. Many of us work together on different projects but also hang out together in groups once or twice a month for fun. Were located all over the Ruhrgebiet.

I really like your website Project Nova.

04 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

Geschenk and schenken are also dutch words (with the same meaning). Schenk is also a common name in Holland. But I think you might be right. The "sch" might be more german or even polish like "Czj" (my mother is polish).

Although ... I live near Scheveningen, a popular beach (with the best surf of Holland, Don) and the place where the US will probably invade according to the Anti International Criminal Court "Hague Invasion Act". During WW2 people were asked to pronounce "Scheveningen" to see if they were german or dutch.

Since everyone is making compliments ;)
I really like your artwork, Alisha. Especialy Fields of gold. And SnowMass reminds of the beautiful nature the US has to offer.

The Don is taking SVN in a whole a new direction.

04 Apr 2003 | alisha said...

thanks p8 :-) I havent painted in a while.

04 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

I used to draw a lot but haven't found the time. I miss it, especially when I see art sites like yours.

04 Apr 2003 | Don Schenck said...

In the late 1700's, Augustus (Augusta? August? forget his exact first name) Schenck came to Pennsylvania from Germany (the terrain in this area is very similar to his home in Germany, so much so that a lot of training took place around here prior to and during WW II).

On the other side of my family, they were Germans who landed in Philadelphia and built the trolley cars there.

I'm Pennsylvania Dutch, that is to say, German. Always been proud of it, too.

I DREAM of someday visiting Germany and Austria. I'm actually geeky enough that I listen to German folk music ("beer-drinking" music) from time to time. Sheesh.

04 Apr 2003 | alisha said...

well youre welcome in my home if you ever come. My parents-in-law would just love you for drinking german beer and listening to the old "Volkslieder". They also would be absolutley thrilled to meet an american ex-soldier.
