Dinner with Gretchen
My friend Gretchen was in Chicago this week, and the two of us met up for dinner and drinks at Lula Cafe. It’s been over a year or so since we met up (the last time was for my birthday party), so it was really good seeing her again. The two of us talked, and …

First Snow: A Flickr-Generated Poem
I’m excited to announce a new Flash project I just completed called First Snow – a visualization of a poem I wrote many years ago, way way back in 2004. Similar to the Astronaut Project, First Snow also utilizes the Flickr API. But unlike that earlier project (which was more or less me learning how …

Passing By
Passing By is a great little site that pulls in user-submitted YouTube videos of different journeys, into one collective trip. More info about the project (and how to submit your own) here. Unfortunately, they don’t have a rearview option. [via] Oh, and as an aside… looking at this site, I can’t help but think of …

Insert Motionlessness Here
Today, we didn’t do very much. We didn’t do very much at all.

Hanging With Liz’s Family, Texas
A bunch of us met up to go shopping along The Strand – an interesting assortment of shops and restaurants, in a fairly historic area. The whole time I was walking around, I was reminded of New Orleans a great deal. The buildings themselves were pretty neat to look at. Lots of touristy stuff (souveniers, …

Happy Thanksgiving from Texas
During the day today, we went over to Liz’s Uncle Roger and Aunt Nancy’s house, for some family photos. I snapped a few shots while folks were outside, including this one of Liz’s dad and all the kids. Anne, giving Isabelle a little upside down tickle. Paige, who has been up and walking for some …

Texas, Ho!
Off to visit some of Liz’s family (*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*) deep in the heart of Texas. And because all the airfare we saw a few weeks back looked waaay too expensive… we’re trekking down there by car. How many hours you ask? About 17 or 18, give or take. We’re splitting the travels over …

Lynchian
I’m not a big fan of David Lynch, but I know a few folks who are (recently at Justin’s going-away dinner, a few of us talked some about Lynch’s films). I was looking around today for some free podcasts for our upcoming road trip… and found this gem tucked away on Stanford University’s Podcast page: …

Rap Breakdown via Charts and Graphs
It all makes sense, broken down like this. I’m not a huge listener of hip hop, but I still laughed at a ton of these. And on a related note, if this sort of graphic/chart is your thing… check out the ever excellent blog Indexed.

Are You a God? Press ‘A’ for Yes, ‘B’ for No
Wow, this takes me back. I remember playing the original video game on my Apple IIc. It’s vague, but I remember driving around trying to find ghosts, and trying to earn enough money to buy more equipment. Now it sounds like they’re developing a new video game, based on the original movie. Check out some …
