Coolstop
Got an email today, with this link. Quite flattering, even if they attribute the You Are I Am project solely to me, when in actuality it was a collaboration. All in all, a really great ego boost. Not a bad way to start off the weekend!

Twospace @ StyleMax
Last night I got call from Christine and Kent, and learned they were in town for a few days. The two of them are here as Twospace, and they’re showing off their wares at StyleMax – a women’s apparel and accessory trade show. Better than them being in Chicago… they’re also in the Merchandise Mart, where Justin and I work….
On the way to work
Bob Hicok
I went on a book-buying spree binge a few days back, and the first of many arrived today. I got a collection of poems by Bob Hicok (Insomnia Diary) and it has the one poem of his that I absolutely love – Bars Poetica. I haven’t had a chance to really read much of it yet. But I’ll likely post…
Post-Work Poker
We didn’t have a ton of folks playing tonight, but we did manage to get a few people together for a game after work. Tonight, we got AJ (from Marketing/Promotions) to join in the fun. It should be noted that, over a year ago, AJ was the one who helped a bunch of us see Queensrÿche (both the VIP acoustic…
Eagle Nest Thunderdome: Two Eggs Enter, One Egg Leaves
Yesterday, I mentioned the riveting Hornby Island Eagle Cam. Well, checking back on Metafilter (where I originally found the link), a few more tidbits of information turned up. There are two eggs in the nest. The first egg was laid on March 21 (5:45 PM). The second egg was laid on March 24. The hatching is slated for sometime between…
80’s Movies
After doing a bit of work at home, I ended up going over to Liz’s again for some more movies. It’s funny – all this week when I get home, I feel pretty tired and think about staying home, calling it an early night. But as soon as I talk with Liz, we end up making plans and hanging out…
Eagle Cam
This is a cool high quality stream from a camera pointing at an Eagle’s nest on Hornby Island. Prepare to lose several hours of work time, just watching. It’s weird – there are long periods of inaction, where you’re watching an Eagle just sit and stare. But then, when something does end up happening? It’s the most exciting thing in…
The Interview Simulator
A few months ago, I posted about how Ben shaved his goatee and howI brought in my suit, expressly so we could help participate in thisthing we were building for work: The Interview Simulator. The concept was all Mike’s, and was developed with the intent that it would live on what we call “The Career Channel.” This is a sectionavailable…
Movie Night… now with less movie
Hung out with Liz again this evening. When I got home, I felt pretty tired and was just going to call it an early night. Butthe next thing I knew, we were on the phone and made plans to get some food. I headed over and we got some pizza, and settled in foranother night just lazing around watching some…

Relaxing Night
Hung out with Liz tonight, and we ordered Thai and watched Ocean’s Eleven. Even though I’ve seen it before, I really enjoy this movie. I don’t know what it is about the whole “team of misfits, each with their own unique gifts, combining their powers to overcome immeasureable odds” formula… but it works, and I dig it. We spent our…
Last Room
I mentioned it a few days ago, but I wanted to point folks over toDave’s MySpace account. Dave (aka the Reverend Dave Fischoff) is a great musician, and I’ve been listening to his latest track, Last Room, over and over again. I can’t get enough of it, and am greatly looking forward to his new album (and his next performance)….
The Apple Lady & Google Finance
It’s a good week for publicity apparently. Check this out: The Apple Lady got mentioned on Google Finance’s page for National Semiconductor. Awesome!
Audioplayer Updated
However! I did manage to update the audioplayer (on the far right). These recent songs aren’t ones that I’ve really looped incessantly. Instead, I got the idea to combine three singers whose voice/style I found jarring and even irritating at first… but who eventually grew on me, over time. You may already be familiar with these artists. But if you’re…
