Post-Work

A bunch of us from work (Ben, Chris, Jane and I) met up with Will at Shamrock after the end of the day. Spotted this creepy-looking guy in the window. It’s been a while since I’ve been back, but the folks behind the bar still have great pitching arms. Hung out there briefly for one drink, before Ben and Jane…

More than one use!

We have a lot of stuffed animals as mascots within the company. This little guy was part of an internal initiative, and today Chris gave Jane a little dude to call her own. Conveniently, he doubles as a headphone-holder.

Ann Paeth: One Year Ago

I knew that I was fast approaching the anniversary of my friend Ann’s death, but I didn’t realize that it was tonight. I’ve been thinking about her recently, but very briefly – knowing that I’d be really reflective once the date hit. And tonight, I didn’t even realize it was a year ago that this happened. It totally took me…

Renegade Craft Fair Map

My friends Kent and Christine sent along a map of the Renegade Craft Fair, pinpointing where their booth will be. If you’re around this weekend, swing on by Wicker Park – there’s going to be tons of neat stuff. And to top it off, this Saturday we’ll all be heading out to Papajin for dinner, then off to Danny’s for…

Downtime

My internet connection at home dropped out on me (which is a rare thing), circa 9 PM. I decided this was a good excuse to step away from the computer and went out on my porch to read a bit. In addition to pouring myself some Scotch, I grabbed an old cigar I had lying around (I bought a bunch…

Bubbles

Ji Lee (who I know virtually nothing about) posted up a tremendous amount of blank text bubbles on posters and the like. Then, he went back and photographed what people had written. I totally dig this project, as it fits so closely with my own bent towards repetition and variation. I love how inviting the bubbles are, how they almost…

Twospace @ the Renegade Craft Fair

It’s here again! The Renegade Craft Fair returns to Chicago’s Wicker Park this weekend, Saturday and Sunday 11AM – 6PM. For those that missed it, this is a great event (and a fun way to spend an afternoon). Check out the pics from last year. My friends Kent and Christine will be in town, and they’ll be at the fair…

Everyone… Meet Bryan

Our little division has been growing by leaps and bounds lately! Not long ago, Jane came on board. And today was Bryan’s first day on the job. Lots of hustle and bustle around the office. Deb’s back in town, and the day was filled with more meetings and such than normal. Looking around today, I’m amazed at the total size…

AudioPlayer Updated!

Well, it’s been forever and a day since I updated the audioplayer. I’m off my covers kick (for now), and have decided to include a mix of songs. Well, artists I should say – the songs are all fairly mellow and laid back. Almost everyone I know whose tastes I like has recommended Sufjan Stevens to me. And I’ve been…

Apple Lady to the Rescue

For those who follow The Daily Apple, you may be aware that the Apple Lady is currently taking requests. Well, I ended up asking a question, and today I’ve got my answer! I’ve had the proverbial “Hoosier” conversation with many of my Indiana brethren, and each person has their own definition or origin myth. Well, turns out that there may…

Function Keys Not Functioning

Been playing around with an idea for a Flash game. Not 100% sure what it’s going to be yet, but I’ve had this desire to use the Function keys as part of the controls. Outside of that, I don’t have much. But this idea has been on the backburner for a while, and I sat down tonight to do a…
