The tech sloths have solved the login problem and are taking a well-deserved victory nap. Thank you for your patience.

In the few weeks since I started this site I’ve already managed to earn some hate mail from people who think berating a cartoon sloth is a good use of their time. For this reason I’ve added a disclaimer link on the sidebar. For those of you too busy to move your mouse I present the following as a public service.

Xose’s Opinions

Are my own. They aren’t yours so you don’t get to decide what they are. You don’t even get to decide what they should be. I came by them honestly and I’m proud of them, but not so proud that I won’t change them whenever it suits me, usually to win an argument. If, by some chance, they differ from yours, get over it. I don’t want to hear about it. I don’t need you to tell me I’m wrong: I already know.

Xose’s Obligations

I owe you nothing. I’m not a journalist so I don’t owe you objectivity. I’m a sloth so I don’t owe you regular updates. The site is free and I don’t even owe you that. I reserve the right to spray advertising all over my pages. I also reserve the right to disguise ads as content. And I double dog reserve the right to self-promote like a sonofagun. I don’t owe you facts. I don’t owe you consistency. If you become a member of my audience, don’t expect me to change to please you or to refrain from changing to keep pleasing you.

Xose’s Language

Is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous that people feel the need to point that out. I make inflammatory statements. I make sweeping generalizations. I’m blunt, rude, self-aggrandizing, and sarcastic. Everyone knows. You don’t need to warn them. I love to antagonize people. Still, I’ve never antagonized anyone who didn’t need it. If you feel antagonized, well…

Finally, an inspirational quote. In the words of Mohandas Gandhi, I’m just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh, Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.

There. I think it finds the proper balance between conciliatory and intentionally offensive.

Logins are wonky at the moment, though registration works. The tech sloths have been notified and are inching toward a solution. Thank you for your patience.

Happy birthday to my new website, that is…

I’m Xose and this is my site. I’ll be posting past, present, and, if you wait long enough, future artwork. There will be music too (did I mention I’m a musician?), writing (I write too), animation, video, photography (I’m basically the complete renaissance man).

As time goes on I plan to document the production process for a couple of my large scale projects. There are animation projects in the works and I’m designing and writing a role-playing game just like every other geek (this one is different).

Eventually I’ll have a few products I’ll use as crowbars to pry your wallet out of your pocket. For those of you who know me already there’ll also be plenty of the usual worthless ephemera.

Okay, so I admit I may have oversold things with that “Greatest adventure in human history” line. Whatever. We’ll still have some laughs.
