Or to just do something nice…
An interesting concept, even if Diesel ends up owning your work if you win. I may try my hand at this and submit something. Check out Diesel Wall. Link via Bryan.

On the way home
Not your typical office
I like my job, and my coworkers in particular. Have I mentioned that recently? Thanks to Jane, for the photos.
Fun With Luchador Masks
Chris and Ben don some luchador masks and… shenanigans ensue. Anybody recognize that blue mask? Red versus Blue! Blue versus Red! Who will win? Separated at birth? Blue gains the upper hand, er… head! Red goes over the top! A random spectator gets too close to the action, and gets sucked into the wrestling vortex!
Audioplayer Updated
I posted a few tracks from the United States of Poetry CD I got, recently. There are several poems from the series that I wish I had, that weren’t included on the CD. But these are three that I remember liking – give a listen.
Phobias and You
From: HillarySubj: Phobias and You Hello peoples, As many of you know, I’m working on a novel about kids with phobias. Maybe you also know, I’m putting together a radio piece about phobias. But did you know I need people like you to tell me about your phobias for this radio story to work? Yeah,…
Call for Submissions: Nothing to be Afraid of
My friend Hillary contacted a lot of us, a while back, asking for info/stories about our respective phobias. I meant to post this ages ago… but just got around to it tonight. As you may recall, Hillary and Johnathan recently left Chicago for Philadelphia. And, even farther back… some might remember my mentioning Hillary’s interest…
oldboy
Holy crap – this was a crazy, amazing movie. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Oldboy. First, from Chelsea, and then from both Justin and Jamie (as you may recall). Finally, after having seen it – damn. Simply amazing. There were two parts during the film that were way too graphic/gross for me, in…

Another Reason I Love My Mac
Bluetooth, auto-synching of all my contacts.
Walking Home
Instead of taking the Red Line back home from Addison, I decided to walk all the way back. The sun was out, the sky was clear, and I felt like exploring a bit. Plus – a walk would do me good. So I plugged in my iPod, pulled out my camera, and put one foot…
Milkshakes and Playgrounds
I got a call from Liz after she got done working, and headed over to meet her at her place. My headache thing was sort of fading by this time, and I spent the rest of the evening trying to shake it off. Since it was so nice out, the two of us decided to…
Holy Crap – I have a cellphone
Ok. This is a pretty big step for me. Up until now, I haven’t had a cellphone. EVER. I just never liked the idea of always being “accessible” and, to be honest, have always been a pretty big homebody. Lately though, there have been several occasions where having a cellphone would have been pretty darn…
Half-Day
One of the cool things about my company is that, when big holiday weekends come up… we invariably get a half-day on the Friday preceeding. This works out well for those who do a lot of travelling, and gives people a chance to get a head-start hitting the road. It’s also pretty great for those…
