Liz and I headed out to Subterranean tonight, to catch Dave’s show (he was performing as part of the A/V XPLO event that’s been going on for a few days). It was interesting to be back inside Subterranean again. The last time I was here was for a Halloween costume party (and where I won…
It was Deb’s birthday at work today, and a rare occassion as she was actually in Chicago this week. A cake was purchased, and plans were made to surprise her in the conference room after lunch. However… there were some complications. Mike was watching for Deb out the window, and the hope was to catch…
Over by the Developers, there’s some construction happening across the street. As one of the foremen was checking out the progress, I grabbed my camera and caught this shot. Just seeing him so close to the edge makes me all nervous.
Walking to work, I saw one of those street sweeper vehicles approaching me on California. Since the design of these things is such that it requires close proximity to the curb… the driver’s side is on the right, allowing the driver to better see where he’s going (and what he’s sweeping). Today, as the guy…
It’s been a few months since Justin left the workplace. He’s been relaxing at home, and is currently out and about along the West Coast, visiting friends (Kent and Christine in LA, Kevin and Molly in Oakland) and travelling about. Since today is his birthday… I gathered some folks from the design crew, to record…
*ring* Hello Allison? It’s me, Bryan. Ok, today? I was thinking about a light purple top and some black… no, no, wait. Wait. Gold. Make it gold shoes.
Liz and I had a little dinner party this evening, and so we spent a good while in the kitchen doing prep. I was working on the spinach-stuffed chicken while she was getting the stuffed tomatoes set up. This is one of our favorite recipes, and I can’t tell you how often we’ve heard someone…
Just found out about this new PostSecret video that Frank put up a few days ago: For those of you not familiar with the project, people (anonymously) send in postcards with their secrets to Frank… which he then collects and publishes. Oftentimes, the artwork and presentation are as stunning and moving as the secrets themselves….
Liz and I decided to eat out tonight (for the first time in a long while). We started up South Beach again, so we’ve been pretty good about making our own meals and sticking to our subsets of food. We recently got to Phase II, which allows us to have wine. And so – we…
Ever since the table arrived, there’s been no shortage of games and competition in the office. As evidenced by things like the Lord and Master Stein™ and the Put the Ball in the Stein game… we’re a competitive crew. Add an incentive like a sweet ping-pong trophy, and it gets even more competitive. Below, I…
Since moving to Logan Square, I haven’t really taken all that many photos on my morning walks to the train. Going down California, there’s not nearly as much to see (as opposed to walking down North Ave). Well, wait. I just typed that in, and it feels untrue. I think, perhaps, I’m just not looking…
This is a bit old, but still fantastic nonetheless. [via]
