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 …
