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 …

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.

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 …
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.
