Camera Obscura
Headed over to Chris’ place, and ended up catching a bit of rain en route. Threw on a poncho, but what little protection I got from the rain was lost in how much it made me sweat. Arriving, we hung out for a while and munched on some Kool Aid and cupcakes (courtesy of Eric)….
So It Begins
Politics in the workplace
Ok.So every week, we get this email. The email consists of a series of articles (for a network-shared section called “Career Channel”), which then have to be manually dumped into our Content Management System. Nothing terribly difficult, but it’s a chore that needs to be done. The articles come in as text files, and we…
Four Boats
Audioplayer Updated
New songs (on the right). I also happened to notice that the last Guided By Voices concert EVER is going to be on New Year’s Eve, here in Chicago at the Metro. Dave? Justin? I’m looking in your direction!
Camera Obscura Show Tomorrow
Gonna go see Camera Obscura tomorrow night with Chris, at the Empty Bottle. I learned of this band through rypunked a long while back, and didn’t end up getting their CD until quite recently (although I was really hooked on a few songs I got off their website). Should be fun, particularly since the venue…
From Really Far Away

I Know Billy
Happened to see this walking home. I didn’t even notice the severed appendages until after I opened this up in Photoshop. I also noticed that Helen Chanam gets around. I Know Billy.
Peasant’s Quest
Ahahahaha! This had me crying earlier in the day. Make sure to click on the top right corner, when the whole thing ends for the Easter Egg. If you don’t know who Trogdor is, well… it’s time to take a small step forward.
The Eyes No Longer Have It
Unexpected Mirror
Technical Support
I bought a headset for work last week, as I was going about training all our webmasters on how to use the new Content Management System (dubbed “The Mothership”). To avoid crinking up my neck, I decided a headset would allow me to type and talk at the same time. Everyone else at work got…
On the way to work
2:30 AM
So I’m reading for a solid hour plus, and then I’m sitting in the dark with my eyes wide open for another hour. Finally, around 2:30AM, I start to drift off. But before I fully fall asleep, my cat Harmony starts to make these deep, mechanical glugging sounds – a sign that a hairball is…
