I’m delighted to report that this year, we have more costumes than ever at work. We’ve definitely grown in size, and it’s awesome to see other folks all dressed up for Halloween. Where’s Waldo Justin? Renata, dressed as a ladybug… … complete with wings, no less! Sarah, doing her best Sarah. Laurence, donning his martial …
These pics are a bit rushed, as I just got done with the makeup… I’m typing this with painted hands, and I’m dirtying up the keyboard here someting awful. Here’s what I did for my Halloween costume this year: revisiting the Zombie (which I did a few years back). A quick rewind to a few …
Post-work, I headed over to Wicker Park with Justin and Ben to meet up with a few friends. Turns out, Stu was in town for one night (he’s working for us, doing a few photoshoots in multiple cities)… and so our dinner plans got even better. On walking from Damen back down towards Division, Justin …
Over a period of about 6 weeks or so (what we dub a “sprint”), our developers see the culmination of their work as a “Push” to our Production servers. We take all the code and development work that’s been done, and move it from our Staging environment over to our Production (live) environment. To minimize …
Aaron Huey is a photojournalist for National Geographic, and takes some pretty stunning photographs. The image above is part of a series called “Afghanistan Drug War” and is in the section entitled “Features 1.” A portion of the images document his time with the Afghan Eradication Forces, accompanying a group on their first ever attempt …
If you miss the good old days of when MTV actually played music, this is the site for you. MTvM – MTV Music has a large assortment of videos, sorted by all manner of categories. And looking at some of the view counts, the site just launched. It’s odd to think that you can’t find …
Went out and purchased a copy of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Ages ago, I got to play the very first version of this game in 2003 (thanks to Mike). And this was back when I owned a PC, mind you. I purchased a cop of COD2 for the Mac, and that was still …
Well, what started nearly 5 months ago has now (finally) come to a close. After avoiding a dentist for 6 years, I had a large enough cavity that warranted a root canal. After the root canal, I had a temporary crown put on… and really made a point to chew things on the other side …
I first learned about Love with Arthur Lee nearly two years ago, thanks to my friend Ben. The track “Everybody’s Gotta Live” is still among my favorites, and just a great, great tune overall. I happened across a video on Pitchfork, a snippet of an upcoming documentary on the group called Love Story. Because it’s …
I had good intentions of waking up early to do some work, and to post something here… but I ended up sleeping in, and not quite having enough time to do either. Body’s catching up to me, I suppose. To tide you over, here’s a link to a fantastic game called Tontie. This is from …
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
