Hiya. My name is Glenda. I’m an ENFP Aquarius, if you want to break it down like that. I was born, raised and trapped by New York City, and went to college in upstate New York. You might say that I like to “reprazent [my great state] to tha fullest.” Stereotypically, there’s a botched Seinfeld plot or neurotic Woody Allen movie in my life’s instances somewhere, I assure you.
Besides watching airplanes take off and land, getting speeding tickets, duct-taping things, avoiding the sun, screwing with this site, co-directing an Asian Pacific American arts organization, crying upon hearing John Williams film scores to George Lucas movies, taking photographs of people that mean a lot to me, banging out songs by messing around on my guitar, or just bugging the freak out in general — I write stuff. I’ve been writing “stuff” since I was 5.
Not that this is related at all, but I can also do the best booty-slap dance in the San Francisco Bay Area — where I currently live. Ask me to do it for you sometime. People seem to think it’s really funny. I can also do the reknowned “Invincible Attack,” play a highly offensive game of Balderdash, and tear the roof off during karaoke parties by picking the most inane song choices ever.
There are more archives than you can shake a stick at stashed here. Somewhere in there, you can read some of my favorite blog entries — like the time I took my stock options, cashed them out, ran away for a summer and blew it all on baseball games in various ballparks all across the nation.
That ruled.
In addition to this blog, you can also read more recent stuff I’ve written at my column Bi-Coastal Disorder, which appears in a Chicago-based webzine called Negative Waves. My media background primarily started with zines and DIY distros, so I figure it’s a nod back to that part of my life… when it was unplugged.
Other content in this “About” section that I didn’t know what to do with.
(It didn’t make the cut for this page, but I feel bad getting rid of it.)
- Site Background: A brief history, manifesto, and disclaimer.
What in blue blazes/tarnation/the heck/blue h-e-double-hockey-sticks is this all about, anyway? - Furthermore: Me going legit would be like Jar-Jar going into speech therapy.
You know who you’re dealing with? Do you? You think you’re a tough guy, eh, Tough Guy?
About this site, Props, Shout-outs, Big-ups, Colophon, Whathaveyou.
- Agendacide.com is hosted by Dreamhost, and has been since 1999. I highly recommend them, and if you’re thinking of going there to hook yourself up or someone else with an account, type my email address, which is: glendab@gmail.com into your referral text box if you want to help a sistah out with a li’l sumpthin’ sumpthin’!
- I didn’t get paid to say that WordPress is powering this blog’s content. It isn’t running on hamsters, man. I’ve tried everything in 9 years of blogging and only one CMS could keep my spam at bay. Besides… the hotties at Automattic know how to shake a tail feather. (Oh, and if you get a Dreamhost account, you too could have your very own blog in 1 minute or less. WordPress is a one-click install on Dreamhost, buddy!)
- Most of the photographs you see, or at least the thumbnails, are brought to you by Flickr.
- Some of the feeds are burned by Feedburner with a quickness.
- I bastardized an awesome WordPress template called Blix, which was designed by Sebastian Schmieg. Hopefully, I didn’t do to bad of a job. I just don’t have the time to design or code these days, especially when I go to work and have to look at the stuff too. Meh. I’m lazy, but at least it’s not Kubrick.
- In the template package also came some nifty icons by Kevin Potts.
- This site kicks off with a clever and very funny script that was hand-knit for me with love by Matt, during yet another ritualistic visit to “The Wi-fi Denny’s” in Palo Alto. (Because I was going to do it in another language in 5x the lines, and boy — that just would’ve been fugly.) Thank you, Angel.

- I want to thank Philo Hagen for being a such a dear.
- Coca-Cola® Classic is my Dark Lord and Master.
- Winston Lights accompany me late into the night.
- Major League Baseball — because everything in life can be applied to baseball.
- I use The Force.
- And frequent flyer miles.
- This site is brought to you by keepin’ it real.
- To my family and my friends — wherever you are, I’m thankful for you and thinking of you.
Always remember that this site is essentially about you and me.
