Audioplayer Updates!

I’ve been listening to a few songs over and over lately. It should be no surprise to many of you that I tend to get obsessive about tracks, and if I find one I like… I’ll play it literally nonstop, into the ground. Of late, three songs that have been going nonstop have been tunes

Goodbye, Justin

I put a lot of things on this blog, but not everything. One of the bigger bits of news that I’ve kept off of here is the fact that Justin, after some 6+ years, is going to be leaving Emmis Interactive. This is not an easy decision for him to make, and I don’t presume

What? Why? How? And Yet…

I’m not sure what to think of this promotion. Much like R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet,” this is either one of the most ill-conceived projects… or a brilliant one. It’s difficult to tell. Reading over some of the copy on the page, and listening to Vanilla Ice talk about the promotion… it’s hard to

Dear Jackass Who Apparently Is Taking a Hustler Into the Men’s Bathroom…

I’m betting you’re the same guy who takes a crap in there, and then decides not to flush. For god’s sake man, was it really THAT urgent? I’d say more, but I think it’s been summed up pretty well already. And yes, there is a Previously.

My Coworkers, Exhibiting Their Standard Brand of Professionalism

Jane proposed that she could spit out her gum and make it stick to the mural; Chris proposed he could block the gum with his foot. I love my coworkers.

Filterless

I never imagined I’d be seeing the end of Filter. It’s a great spot, and it’s been a staple of Wicker Park for coming on 5 years now. But, it turns out the onwer of the building has decided to lease the space to Bank of America instead. Which is great, because it’s not like

The First Annual Putt-Putt Green Design Competition

Check out the upcoming mini-golf course from Material Exchange and Experimental Station. It’s called The First Annual Putt-Putt Green Design Competition, and course designers have to use reclaimed materials, as well as provide a future use for the course… once the putt-putt is over. I wasn’t 100% sure about the details after looking at their

Dave Fischoff: Video for Small Drifts

Dave just recently got a video made of one of his songs, Small Drifts, from his recent album The Crawl. Dave’s a friend of mine, and I’m a huge fan of his work. If you haven’t yet heard his stuff, check out his MySpace page or, better yet, his personal site where his entire album
