The next morning, with all the gifts under the tree. Liz reveals a gift she made her dad: a fruit cake that’s been in the works for 2-3 weeks. Before now, I’ve not been that familiar with fruit cakes. This one has at least an entire bottle of Kentucky bourbon in it! To fully prepare …
Most of the day was spent lazing around, hanging out. Darryl and I watched a ridiculous amount of Japanese TV clips on YouTube, resulting in both of us questioning why US TV doesn’t follow suit. I’m not exactly sure what cut of meat this is, but it was delicious. Liz’s dad, Kirt, prepared the meal …
Arrived late in Kansas City. The plane was delayed by 30 minutes, which proved incredibly lucky for Tricia and Daryl, as they were running late. Looking in to the kitchen, as cookies are being prepared.
Did some tinkering around last night, and modified a few things. Made the top banner a lot bigger, and randomized a bunch of images (each image links to the entry where the photo was taken). Additionally, I also created a listing of all my Flash experiments. I’ll probably work on the side nav later on …
Ballistic Wars (by Easy Only! Games) is sort of like marbles, with some fancy graphics and UI thrown in to the mix. Your goal is to “defuse” bombs set up by a mad professor – and you do so by clicking on your troops, setting up where you want them to go and at what …
Keeping with our tradition, Liz and I went out and got a Christmas tree for the holidays. We decided the best place for the tree would be right in front of John Cleese. Liz gets out the lights. Me, hanging the ornament Liz got me last year. Baxter the Bunny, hiding between the boxes. A …
Chicago developer/blogger Evan Jacover has created his own Flickr-based videos, and is offering up his source code to boot! I’m impressed at how quickly his video run (he’s playing the song at the start, and dynamically loading in images as the song progresses). As a result it’s way zippier than my version, which pre-loads all …
Thanks to my coworker Christine, I found out that there was a Renegade Holiday Craft Fair going on this weekend. Our weekend plans shifted around considerably, as this became our big to-do on Saturday. Liz, outside the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse, ready to get her craft on. The Fieldhouse itself is pretty large, with three large …
Allison recently ordered a Slanket as a holiday gift. It arrived today, and of course she had to try it out. As did everyone else. Ben, testing out the comfiness while reclining in the bean bag room. Chris, looking very holy. My two favorite possible captions: 1) Always a bridesmaid…2) Little Baby Jesus is All …
For the Office Potluck a few days ago, Sean had brought along a plum pudding to share. Apparently, the process involved a bit of brandy that was heated up, and the resulting flame would be poured over the pudding. We never got around to the dessert, so Sean decided to serve it up today during …
Since our department moved out into its own office, our holiday celebrations have also separated themselves some from the stations. In the past, us Interactive folks would celebrate along with the stations; but we’d also have our own gatherings and dinners. It’s wild to think about, but about 5 years ago now… I sat down …
We had a nice pot-luck quarterly meeting this afternoon. Prior to the event, Bryan and Allison and the rest of the design crew gussied up the room with some decorations. Good doesn’t begin to describe this. Lots of great stuff people brought in from home: Kashif’s wife made her fantastic samosas, there was meatloaf, green …
Jeff (aka FlamingoJeff) was in town this week, for a few days of classes. He met up earlier with Matt (aka Tha.Riddla) and Will (aka rogue_designer) last weekend. Since I was unable to attend the get-together, me, Jeff and Liz decided to get together for dinner over at Piece (a good gathering spot for us …

On April 9th, 2008, next to the fountain at the Art Institute of Chicago, Felix proposed to Liz.
On September 12th, 2009, Felix and Liz got married.
