But before the wedding: a porn shop. I stopped off a bit after Kenosha to visit Melissa (Mellzah), who wanted to send a gift along with me for the happy couple. I haven’t seen her since the last big get-together extravaganza in Chicago, and although this visit was brief… it was nice to be able …
Spotted this on Wells, about 5 feet away from a You Are Beautiful sticker. Slow day at the office. Most everyone was either off on vacation or taking a personal day. Matt was in briefly, for the morning, and then it was just me the whole afternoon. Kinda good and kinda boring, truth be told. …
Picasa: what a great little app! I just installed it today, after having seen a thread about it up for a while now. And I’m kicking myself for waiting! It’s nice to be able to see all my photos in one fell swoop. And it runs pretty quickly, with minimal stutter, and doesn’t seem to …
I loaned Justin my car today, and he drove it in to work to pick me up. Walking to where it was parked, we passed the Blommer Chocolate Factory. Now I’ve seen tanker trucks pulled up against the sidewalk here before. But I always thought they were delivering supplies or ingredients or some such thing. …
How awesome is this? I found out today that the “Love Again” stickers I found last month are part of an artistic campaign (and not, as I feared, some sort of commercial promotion). Also found out that the website for this campaign literally just started. I’m looking forward to where this leads. Big thanks to …
When it comes to ambulances and emergencies and hospitals? The last thing I want to think about is the notion that tiers of quality exist. More thorough brain surgeons? Smarter nuclear missile silo operators? More accurate commercial jet pilots? Here’s a tip. If your company or service is responsible for human lives, try not to …
Sing in the shower. Seriously. I used to do this with more frequency. And many months have passed since I found myself standing under a spray of water and just singing. And you know what? It felt great. And I am convinced that singing triggers some sort of chemical thing in the noggin’ that just …
This is a fantastic game from sticky.tv. Make sure to take a quick peek at their Film Reel as well. Nice stuff!
I stopped by Myopic this evening because they used to have this chess group that met on Wednesdays. I stumbled across them all one evening, when I was there browsing… and happened across a bunch of tables, and a bunch of people playing. Since that one run-in, I have yet to see them again. But …
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
