Forgive me LJ, it has been over a couple years since I have gone to confession posted an entry.

So… uh… what ya'll be up to?

Comments

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

Yay, welcome home!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Thanks MIke. You're one of the two reasons i'm back here. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to actually… you know… post. and stuff ;-)

posting, not swimming

[bearpawly.livejournal.com]

...just keep posting...just keep posting...

[wvacritter.livejournal.com]

Not much.....you?

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

oh, you know… same 'ole, same 'ole.

ok, maybe not. Updates will be in future LJ posts.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Well, let's see…

I got a new Mac Pro (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/369318.html)

I became a fashion model in my own garden (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/368501.html)

I went (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/363483.html) to (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/363770.html) Portland (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/363913.html), Oregon (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/364190.html) and (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/364441.html) drank (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/364930.html) beer (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/365309.html)

And I'm probably going to be speaking at SXSW in March (http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/6726)

Oh, and Monday, I'll be going to photograph some vintage cars, racing (http://theoctothorpe.livejournal.com/369825.html).

You?

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

LOL! I don't mind being cyperstalked by nice folk =)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

• I saw you got a new Mac Pro multicore sexy goodness. I am jealous.
• I also saw your photos modeling your snappy and dapper coat
• I really enjoyed Portland when I visited last year. Lovely city
• Speaking at SXSW??!? NO WAI!! that is awesome. congrats!
• i saw a couple of those pics, too. very nice, mister!

as for me, i really haven't had time to do much; most of my time has been taken up cyber-stalking you. ;-)

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the same. Just older and wiser.

Very good to see you here, though. Let's make it regular, and stuff.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

I've got the "older" part down. Still haven't gotten any wiser, tho. Not sure what I'm doing wrong…

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're fine. Don't worry a bit.

And we need to work together to get mdarnaud's Mark to grow facial hair. He supports this measure, too.

;-)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I've met Mark a couple times now. He's a nice guy, but he needs to learn to embrace his inner bear. It took me a while to come to terms with it, too ;-)

[njbearcub1.livejournal.com]

Take him under your wing. Teach him all the good stuff.

[joebehrsandiego.livejournal.com]

Hey JP!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Hi Joe!

[texwriterbear.livejournal.com]

YAH! JP's back!!!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

what about my back??!?

…other than it's a little more furry than before.

[texwriterbear.livejournal.com]

Well we need photographic evidence of that then *grin*

[lightthewayhome.livejournal.com]

I think the bigger question is what you've been up to?

DRE

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

A lot has happened. And also… not a whole lot has changed. I'll try to get to the changes and stuff in future posts.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to hearing/reading more!

[coachbear.livejournal.com]

[bearpawly.livejournal.com]

The prophecy said the important ones would return one day...

Re: _

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Let me know when they get here!

Until then… i'll do my best to entertain y'all

[50poundnote.livejournal.com]

I became an international superstar DJ as well as your own private chauffeur.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

True story! I just listened to your retro-tastic podcast on Electronic Music Bears. Well done, mister!

As for being my chauffeur… make sure the car is there on time, the martini's are hot, and the driver is cold... or.... something like that.

in all seriousness, tho… thank you SO MUCH for volunteering to pick me up at the airport! That was very kind of you, and I really appreciate it. first round of drinks are on me. no, really, they will be ON me… and everybody is going to have to lick them off…

[genxcub.livejournal.com]

Yay! Don't worry, we love you no matter where you post.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

awww, thanks!

I'm so over the Book of Faces. I thought I would sort of do an "LJ-lite" thing by posting to Tumblr, but there's no commenting system there. so then I switched to Posterous, which is ok, but I don't really know anybody there. So… I'm back to the original Live Journal. It's nice to know so many friends and acquaintances are still here.

[genxcub.livejournal.com]

It sounds cheesy, but I'm kinda liking Bearbook.com. Probably because it's just a small beta testing crowd and we all talk to everyone. I never really responded on Facebook, but I always liked the photos you posted. Needs more of em with you though :)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

I tried to get in on the beta for Bearbook, but the contact email address I got was no good. Oh well. I will wait until it's ready for prime time.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying the pics. I only post a selection of my pics on Facebook. I post plenty more on FLickr. Go check 'em out! Although, there still aren't many with me in them; I much prefer to be behind the camera, not in front of it

[sluggobear.livejournal.com]

Oh hai!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

OH HAI!!

yeah. so, one change in the past year is that Mikey and I are now room mates. When Matt moved to DC, I moved in and took over the rest of his lease.

[erik415.livejournal.com]

Hey JP!

Since the last time I saw you I...

accepted an offer to work for Adobe last August.

had groin hernia surgery.

moved to San Francisco.

started a new post-production company (in addition to my day job at Adobe).

recently listened to my first 619 Bearcast and enjoyed it.

dented my car.

decided to start dating again.

I think that about covers it. Hope all is going well with you!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

• AWESOME! Congrats!
• OUCH! not awesome
• AWESOME! maybe I'll get a chance to catch up with ya when i'm there Sept 24 -> 27
• Wow! congrats on the post-pro company cough overachiever cough
• Oh, I'm so sorry. were you being forced to listen to it? I think they have used the 619Bearcast in torture sessions at Gitmo…hehe
• Ouch! sad car :-(
• dating… that sounds nice. I sure would like to do that, too…

[erik415.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it would be cool to catch up with you while you're in SF. I'll send you my contact info. Gimme a shout if you have time to hang.

[bearpawly.livejournal.com]

* ahem *




* clears throat *





* looks around *

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

hmm? yes? did you say something?

[profstrickland.livejournal.com]

Hey, JP. Looks like we both came back to LJ. Let's see how long it lasts! ;-)

Hope you are well. I miss SD. Would love to escape down for a weekend. Who knows when that'll happen though.

Big hug.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

YAY! Make sure to let me know when you guys can make it down here :-)
