Goodbye Evil Dead: The Musical
Unfortunately, Evil Dead: The Musical is closing. I will be sad to see it go, but hopefully it will find a home elsewhere.

My secret project is finally ready to be revealed! Behold, this xkcd comic translated into a Google Maps map! When I first read that comic and the the associated blag post, I knew the idea had a lot of potential for additional geekiness. Oliver had been messing with the Google Maps API the previous few days for an unrelated project, so this immediately sprung to mind.

Last night I saw Evil Dead: The Musical at the New World Stages. In short, it was amazingly ridiculous. The entire show takes “not taking itself too seriously” to a new level. The story follows the plot of Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, with some of the most popular lines from Army of Darkness thrown in to please the crowd. Though the fourth wall isn’t ever directly broken, the musical is filled to the brim with references to the essence of the whole thing (such as characters acting confused about the choreography they’re performing). And everything is simply done completely over the top, from the incredibly campy lines to the coreography to the immense amount of fake blood and gore.

Wow, it has been a long while since I posted. Here’s a quick recap of what’s been going on in my busy busy life. I officially received an offer from Google and accepted it, and will be beginning work on March 26th. That should be awesome. To answer the question I receive most: I don’t know what project I’ll be working on; after I go through training and orientation and such things, I’ll be assigned to a project that they and I think I’m suited for.
