Barabara, thanks for the critiques on this piece!

Sometimes things excite me and I end up doing stupid things like registering domain names and pro bono work. Suffice to say, people can get very suspicious of strangers bearing gifts, so this particular expressioning zoomed past nowhere and straight into Irish car bomb, setting back diplomatic relations between two honorable San Francisco entities at least a Noodle Fest or two.

Things I may or may not have learned:

1. Don’t let other people take the heat for my acts. Instead, gently remind my self-sacrificing human shields that hey, I’m the arrogant douche-bag who did took initiative and, essentially, crapped all over the parade with my start-uppity, ivory tower, impulsive compulsions.
2. Be wary of taking on projects where your loved ones can be held hostage. I thought that fan sites were a well understood element of the internet but not when someone I know will get eviscerated for it.

One thing I certainly haven’t learned is not to write about stuff like this in public. Perhaps that will be the true lesson here.
