failure.  rather than try to push some tired aphorisms we&#8217;ve all heard, he simply recounted some of his most depressing failures in the engineering industry.  one of them, in which someone actually DEFRIENDED him because he messed up on a job, and then he had to face down a whole movie crew in the most dehumanizing professional intervention i&#8217;ve ever seen (single chair in a dark room with a spotlight? really?), really spoke to my heart.  it told me that we all have the potential to be there, and it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean we&#8217;re fuck-ups for life.  it also reminded me of a recent collaborative project that totally fell through for me&#8211; where basically because two people had a problem with me and wouldn&#8217;t be straight about it, i in effect was bullied and stonewalled out of the project and lost all my work and friendships.<\/p>\n<p>so yeah, that meant a lot. thanks adam.<\/p>\n<p>also, he made a lot of funny faces \ud83d\ude42  actually we&#8217;re considering making a video of some of these stills to &#8220;damn it feels good to be a gangsta&#8221;&#8211; for&#8230; no real reason other than that it was playing when i was showing these to ken.<\/p>\n<p>anyway, you probably want to see the pictures.  i took at least a hundred, but these are the &#8220;best&#8221;&#8211; the quality isn&#8217;t best because i didn&#8217;t have flash, and the things turned out pretty dark.  so i learned a lot more about photoshop, and fell in love with curves:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
