Got an email today, with this link. Quite flattering, even if they attribute the You Are I Am project solely to me, when in actuality it was a collaboration. All in all, a really great ego boost. Not a bad way to start off the weekend!
Last night I got call from Christine and Kent, and learned they were in town for a few days. The two of them are here as Twospace, and they’re showing off their wares at StyleMax – a women’s apparel and accessory trade show. Better than them being in Chicago… they’re also in the Merchandise Mart, …
I went on a book-buying spree binge a few days back, and the first of many arrived today. I got a collection of poems by Bob Hicok (Insomnia Diary) and it has the one poem of his that I absolutely love – Bars Poetica. I haven’t had a chance to really read much of it …
We didn’t have a ton of folks playing tonight, but we did manage to get a few people together for a game after work. Tonight, we got AJ (from Marketing/Promotions) to join in the fun. It should be noted that, over a year ago, AJ was the one who helped a bunch of us see …
Yesterday, I mentioned the riveting Hornby Island Eagle Cam. Well, checking back on Metafilter (where I originally found the link), a few more tidbits of information turned up. There are two eggs in the nest. The first egg was laid on March 21 (5:45 PM). The second egg was laid on March 24. The hatching …
After doing a bit of work at home, I ended up going over to Liz’s again for some more movies. It’s funny – all this week when I get home, I feel pretty tired and think about staying home, calling it an early night. But as soon as I talk with Liz, we end up …
This is a cool high quality stream from a camera pointing at an Eagle’s nest on Hornby Island. Prepare to lose several hours of work time, just watching. It’s weird – there are long periods of inaction, where you’re watching an Eagle just sit and stare. But then, when something does end up happening? It’s …
A few months ago, I posted about how Ben shaved his goatee and howI brought in my suit, expressly so we could help participate in thisthing we were building for work: The Interview Simulator. The concept was all Mike’s, and was developed with the intent that it would live on what we call “The Career …
Hung out with Liz again this evening. When I got home, I felt pretty tired and was just going to call it an early night. Butthe next thing I knew, we were on the phone and made plans to get some food. I headed over and we got some pizza, and settled in foranother night …
Hung out with Liz tonight, and we ordered Thai and watched Ocean’s Eleven. Even though I’ve seen it before, I really enjoy this movie. I don’t know what it is about the whole “team of misfits, each with their own unique gifts, combining their powers to overcome immeasureable odds” formula… but it works, and I …
I mentioned it a few days ago, but I wanted to point folks over toDave’s MySpace account. Dave (aka the Reverend Dave Fischoff) is a great musician, and I’ve been listening to his latest track, Last Room, over and over again. I can’t get enough of it, and am greatly looking forward to his new …
It’s a good week for publicity apparently. Check this out: The Apple Lady got mentioned on Google Finance’s page for National Semiconductor. Awesome!
However! I did manage to update the audioplayer (on the far right). These recent songs aren’t ones that I’ve really looped incessantly. Instead, I got the idea to combine three singers whose voice/style I found jarring and even irritating at first… but who eventually grew on me, over time. You may already be familiar with …
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.
