Check out eccesignum.org, which underwent a redesign a few days back. New camera, new look, new site. Dig it.

BTW
I think I failed to mention that Mike is now working back in our Interactive group. He’s been a part of Q101 for a while prior to the current position, working in Marketing/Promotions. He’s switched gears and is throwing his experience and energies toward the tech side and it rocks having him back with us. I should have made a…
Mike: The Gauntlet Is Thrown
Mike and I have played two games so far, and it looks like chess might make a comeback in our workplace. Mike beat me the first time we played, and today was my chance for redemption! While I won today’s game, Mike got in a great taunt earlier in the day. He walked by my desk and asked me: Hey,…
For Future Reference
This is a placeholder image, for when Katie and I play chess again. We started a game last week when she stopped by (before Fook’s show). We didn’t get to finish, but here’s where the pieces were (her = red; me = black). It’s my move. I had to reset the board today, so this is for when she comes…
Random Ambulance
I really wonder sometimes, what in the heck goes on in the Mart to cause all these ambulances.
Strange
Late tonight, that foul mood creeped back. Out of nowhere. It feels a bit better now, but an hour ago I was feeling really shitty. Yet again, I’m unsure why. I had a rather good day at work: made some significant progress on a project that I had been struggling with for some time now. I had a relaxing time…
Jam Session
Almost all of us, after work, headed to Matt’s apartment to play around. Bass, guitars, drums. You name it. His place is incredibly cool – and it just screams out music music music. It’s in a somewhat sketchy part of town, but the space alone is worth it. Great, great place. The jam session was… interesting. I’m definitely not an…
Super Genius
Guess who had his paycheck in the backpocket of a pair of pants? Guess who did laundry this weekend? Guess who got taunted by his coworkers for not signing up for direct deposit? Guess what those signup papers are for, in the background?
There’s No Rule That Graffiti Artists Can’t Be Existentialists Too
You Are Beautiful: Sightings
I followed the trail of Postal Mail stickers all the way down Damen, until I hit Augusta. There, I turned and headed towards Justin’s place (a bunch of us were meeting up to watch a movie). I look up at a nearby stoplight, and guess what I find? You are beautiful. Lots of ’em. I’m guessing someone got stickers at…
A sort of treasure hunt
Spotted this right below the Blue Line, right at the Damen stop. Wandering around the Wicker Park Area. Odd. Here’s another Postal Mail sticker, with writing on it. And another. And another. Now I’m starting to get intrigued. This I thought, was rather funny. I figured some disgruntled boyfriend/girlfriend did this. But I was wrong! The “Loony” tags tie back…
Out and About
I got out of the house today, thankfully. I dropped off some videos at Blockbuster, and pointed myself south from there, sticking to the areas just west of the Expressway. Seeing as yesterday was a rather cool evening, I threw on a sweater before heading outside. BIG mistake. I got a few blocks, and started to really sweat it out…
grief
From: DaveTo: Birthday Friends Subject: grief Well this isn’t any fun. I double checked the GrantPark Minigolf info online this afternoon and it turnsout they pushed back their opening day by a week. Thechumps. So this means there won’t be any minigolfingtomorrow after all. But I thank you for your supportand enthusiasm. Perhaps someday the world will be abetter place…
Recluse
It was a gorgeous day outside today. But for some reason, I stayed in. Pulled the hermit thing and puttered around. The crappy thing is that I didn’t even really get much of anything done. Did a bit of laundry. Watched American Splendor, but didn’t get all the way through it yet. In fact, I’ve been watching it in about…
Message For Juliet
Sorry I missed your call, I was out at the Tashi station, picking up power converters. Thank you for the message. Cheered my evening up considerably.
