There is such a thing as a free lunch

I’m just not sure why. Today, I went to Chipotle with Ben and Chris. While I was up at the register, the woman waved me on. I was puzzled at first, but then she said the manager (who was working behind her) had paid for my meal. I looked over at him, unsure why he…

509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

Looks like the link to Jerome’s site – and to the movie Missing Pages (amended version), is down due to all the traffic it’s gotten recently. I’ll post a link once I notice it’s back up and running. But in the meanwhile, do bookmark the site. The movie is very worth it, so store this…

Missing Pages

I saw this link yesterday, and was completely floored by the effect. Missing Pages is a 24 minute short film shot entirely using a digital camera. In the same vein as La Jetée, this short does a remarkable amount with still images. The movie itself is pretty huge (about 60 MB total), but SO, SO…

Polyphasic Sleep

There’s a thread over at Twelvestone about Polyphasic Sleep. When I first saw it, I have to admit… I lost a lot of time just reading and following links. I’m tempted. Basically, the idea behind Polyphasic Sleep is that you sleep with more frequency, but for less time. You train your body to nap once…

Work++

Back in the office today, although this time with more folks around. Even though today was technically a holiday for us, Chris, Justin and Scott were there, plugging away on various projects. Also, I think Ben was working from home, as well. Like I said, big week coming up, with us pushing a lot for…

On the way to work: the Sunday Edition

Went in to the office for a few hours today, trying to get ahead of what the week holds in store. Today was a weird one – nobody around in the office, me playing my music loud as hell (louder than I would normally play it, even at home). I had my speakers UP, and…

Goodbye Johnathan and Hillary

I got an invite a while ago from Johnathan and Hillary, who are moving to Philadelphia soon (Johnathan will be starting a new job, working for Fresh Air). Though I don’t know them all that well, we have many mutual friends in common and our paths have crossed a good deal. I was trying to…

Listening to my inner extrovert

When I got home today, I felt like staying in and just doing the hermit thing. I recently rented a poker DVD by Annie Duke, and was watching a bit of it when Justin called me up. He mentioned going out to Clubfoot, and I declined, saying I felt like staying in. Fast forward a…

Air Hockey Competition

Last year, there was a big office-wide air hockey competition. Hopefuls from across all departments (Sales, Programming, Marketing/Promotion and even the airstaff) threw in and threw down. This year, now that we have another station on board… there are more players reaching for that rainbow. Ever since the renovation, the air hockey table has been…
