Tonight, Liz and I hung out at her place, along with her roommate Lisa, Lisa’s friend Dawn, and their friend Jake. We were sipping beers out on the back porch, talking a bit about Freakonomics and Gladwell. Sort of a lazy Friday, just hanging out. When we ran out of booze, we went out to …
Some interesting discussions today, at work. A lot of brainstorming in the morning about where we might take our websites. A big discussion about Digital Rights Management, and the difference between being best of breed and being a monopoly. One of the projects we’re slated to do involves creating some kind of “game” for Fox’s …
Today during lunch, Chris, Allison and I ventured out to Pearl for some art supplies. I’ve never really done much of anything beyond writing, but I got some good advice and direction from Chris and Allison. I ended up getting a pen, some tips, a few different color inks, and some paper. I’m particular about …
Alex and Linda are in town this evening, stopping in Chicago en route to a wedding in Bloomington. Justin and Dave are also travelling to Bloomington, and tonight’s stopover allowed many of us to meet Johanna for the very first time. After work, I made my way over to the Chicago Diner, a vegetarian diner …
I stopped over at Chelsea’s after work, to pick up some keys and to run over some last-minute details with her. She’s heading out on a pretty awesome camping trip, and I’m checking in on Mr. Vince while she’s away. Random couches I encountered, near Chelsea’s place. I got the rundown on where all the …
Well, an ounce is better than none at all. I just love how the Mart has all these great under construction signs. Brandon and I spotted the elevator repairman on our way out to lunch. We were both taken with the wires and wheels, the interior workings of a machine that we typically took for …
Late this afternoon, Allison sent me a link to a review of Liars at Logan Square Auditorium. As it turns out, some of the language is remarkably close to the notes on that piece of paper in the alley yesterday! And, Chris was quick to point out that one of the to-do items on the …
About a week or so ago, I mentioned the photostamp website. Well today – my custom stamps finally arrived, and they look as awesome and as silly as I had hoped! And, finding myself in possession of some twenty stamps… I am proposing a trade: Photos. You and I. Send me one photo of yourself …
Stumbled across this wet and crumpled list in an alley between Wood and Hermitage, near North Ave. I picked it up and folded it out over a trashcan, and snapped this photo. Interesting, but not nearly as cool as some other found objects that other folks have have come across. Still, it’s a good impulse …
In high school, Felix owned an air-brushed Queensrÿche jean jacket. About thirteen years later, he got the band to autograph it.
Felix may be done with heavy metal, but the music always seems to find him.
In the seventh grade, Felix made a replica of Steve Vai's guitar in Shop class. It remains in his room at his parents' house. And it remains awesome.
