Technique

Alright. So a while ago, I did this Flash microsite for a car giveaway (Mancow’s Big Phat Ride). The car in question was a bright yellow Hummer. Tonight, a bunch of us were standing around looking over some of Chris’ work. Rey (my boss) had this idea in his mind, and got reminded of what I did with stroke outlines…

New Cubes

Well, they’re not exactly cubes. But sorta. With the addition of more folks to our group, we needed more desks. Rey came in this morning from the burbs, and got in the office by 6AM to let folks in to set up some new spaces. There was a lot of stuff everywhere, and little room to move around. Halfway done….

Navigation

This is a rough outline of the nav I’m working on right now, for our Content Management System. I’ve been struggling with it for a while now, and tonight was fairly frustrating. I’m really close to getting it totally functional, but a few slight tweaks are eluding me. Justin and I had some Thai delivered, and worked through the evening…

New Furniture

Sorry this is blurry as well. I grabbed a shot of Mike on the floor. I found it funny because it looked like he had just moved into a new apartment, and was ordering food. He had to move his desk (read: he was working off of our large meeting table) out of the way so that the furniture people…

Expecting Mother

This is blurry, but worth documenting. Walking up the steps to the train, I looked over and happened to see a flash of white. Eggs! Or, at least one egg. The past few weeks, I had all but given up, as I hadn’t really seen this bird anywhere at all. But it looks like she’s back, and tending her brood….

After Work Nerd Spectacular

Justin and I talked shop after work today. Nothing makes me feel nerdier than downing whiskey at a bar, going through XML node structure. Everyone… meet Opie (at least, I think that’s his name). He has a remarkable pitching arm.

Eccesignum: The River Project

The River Project: an awesome series of images from eccesignum.org. I stumbled across this today, and ended up looking at every single photograph. However busy you are… you can find the time. Take a look through this collection and get lost a while.

Slight Cloud

Before leaving work, I loaded up that mp3 player with a bunch of songs. Some I haven’t heard in a while, some that were new recommendations from my friend Ben. A lot of them were slow and sad, which I guess was the mood I was in. Still am, to some degree. On the way home, the sky was getting…

Be Careful What You Wish For

Tonight, at about 11PM, I decided I was going to sit on my porch for a while. I turned off all the lights (porchlights as well as the ones in the kitchen that shine out). I grabbed a beer and my camera, and just sat there, in the dark, for a while. What light there was came from the street,…

Strange Skies

I headed out today to North Avenue to grab some food. On my way out, I noticed some incredible cloud formations the likes of which I don’t think I had ever seen before. Stupid me, I didn’t have my camera on me. I need to remember to always, ALWAYS bring the fucker with me everytime I go anywhere. By the…

Uncle Felix

I’m an uncle! I got a call from my sister today, and she told me the good news. Looks like the due date’s going to be right on December 25th! Funny thing – in Chinese families, anyone who’s even remotely related is called “Auntie” or “Uncle,” regardless if they’re actually part of your family or not. This marks my first,…
