Mastermind: World Conquerer is a pretty ginormous game (it’s a 17MB Flash file), but the gameplay and dialogue are pretty worth it. I had a blast with this, and lost more time than I really care to admit. I have to say, there were parts of the game that were a bit tedious, but overall… …
Internet, you are the gift that keeps on giving. What kind of world would this be, if we all were denied access to gems such as this? I’m betting this video is getting passed around, all over the US. And Europe, too. See what I did there? [via]
A few weeks back, I got another notice that I was called for Jury Duty. I’m not sure what this “Summons for Standby Jury Service” is all about. I don’t know if I’m just a potential or, worse, if I might get sucked into one of those multi-week, sequestered trials where everyone ends up in …
A quick shot of the Design Team, in a training session led by Phil (far right). Though we’re all intimately involved with the site launch portion of our business (the design and html/css part of it), there have been significant changes to the BaseStation tools since we first opened our doors in April. With each …
Wow, oh WoW. I like World of Warcraft just as much as the next guy, but this is just lunacy. Related:Wasting Real Time in Imaginary Places (1, 2, 3)
Stumbled across a great little animation a few days ago. Forgot to get around to posting this until now.
For the past 3-4 weeks, Liz had been studying pretty much nonstop for an upcoming cumulative exam. It covers much of the stuff she’s learned in grad school to date (she’s studying Statistics), and it’s one of those pass-or-you-don’t-graduate kind of exams. Needless to say, she’s been experiencing a little pressure/stress of late. Here’s a …
So. A little venting on my part here. Feel free to totally ignore this. I’m writing this more for myself, really. When this project is all said and done, I’d like to be able to look back to this weekend, and remember these particular moments of frustration. Again, these are less production notes and more …
Similar to the 72-Hour Party People article and the White Lobster article, I came across What Tina Fey Would Do for a SoyJoy and simply could not stop reading. I’m not all that familiar with Tina Fey, nor have I ever watched an episode of 30 Rock. But the article was a very interesting insight …
At the start of this year, some 10+ months ago, I was in a very different mindset. At work, we were in the transitional phase between being a small company with a limited client list (Emmis)… to a rapidly growing company, taking on an ever-growing number of clients. During that time, I found myself working …
by Ted Kooser Still dark, and raining hardon a cold May morning and yet the early birdis out there chirping, chirping its sweet-sourwooden-pulley notes, pleased, it would seem,to be given work, hauling the heavybucket of dawn up from the darkness,note over note, and letting us drink.

Today begins cold and bright,the ground heavy with snowand the thick masonry of ice,the sun glinting off the turrets of clouds. Through the calm eye of the windoweverything is in its …
Shortly before 11AM today, this graphic went out to everyone at work. Today, after a lengthy and long-drawn-out process… we determined the winner for the First Ever Double Elimination Rock Paper Scissors Tournament. Many months ago, the process got started… then it dropped off. And very recently, we had a resurgence that saw everyone finishing …
On seeing this, I just busted out laughing. This is such a great photo. Purportedly, the man dove in to the moat around Tokyo’s Imperial Palace to retrieve a bag that had been dropped. I’m not sure if the removal of clothing took place before or after diving in. Additionally, I’m not sure what prompted …
Felix participated in an overnight Sleep Study, to determine just why he snores so darn much. Sleep Apnea ends up being the answer.
At the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Felix is about to get this thing jammed up his nose. He even took video of the procedure. Gross.
Felix visits Chicago Dizziness and Hearing, to determine what might be causing his dizzy spells. Here, he's getting his eyes checked.
