Tonight, Liz and I had plans to meet some of her friends for dinner. I putzed around all day in my apartment (translation: fell asleep at 9 AM, woke back up at 1:30 PM) while she worked her second job at Crate and Barrel. I planned on meeting her when she got off of work,…
Stumbled across this while browing Coudal Partners. Check out Verse By Voice, a cool page featuring audio of people phoning in, and reading one of their favorite poems. What better way to celebreate National Poetry Month? I phoned in a poem. Maybe, if I’m lucky, they’ll post it up! Man, this is cool. I’ve seen…
Every once in a while, the maintenance crew at the Merchandise Mart set up the main atrium area for a fancy dinner, fashion shows, displays… it’s a big area, and there’s always something being set up here. However, on the way out… whatever this thing is, it reminded me of The Silence of the Lambs….
Scott, on his last day here. I mentioned taking his photo on his first day, but forgot to do so. Several weeks went by, and I snapped one on his way out. Scott was helping us out doing backend dev work, spending a good portion of his time working with all the iTunes data we’ve…
Letty joined our group a few days ago, and her official title is “Interactive Market Development Manager”. I snapped her photo for use in one of our upcoming (internal) newsletters, but got her permission to put this on the blog. Our little group is growing pretty fast these days, it seems. I wonder if, a…
After a few days of random crashes and freezes (complete with several trial and error diagnostics on our end), Jane sadly packs up her iMac to take over to the Apple Store. Much like any good hospital, there they’ll try to figure out what’s wrong, patch things up and, if all else fails, scoop out…
Surfing around this morning, Jane found a mention of my 3 Years 3 Minutes project on Coudal.com. Awesome!
I was over at Liz’s tonight, as we had plans to clean out a lot of her storage items in her basement. She’s planning on moving out in about a month plus, and has been slowly going through a lot of her stuff, preparing for the move. To help make the cleaning process more fun,…
A random shot of a box of candles. These were leftovers from my birthday party. Which, I know… I’ve still yet to update. Soon. Soon. I promise. This is a shot of some recent books I’ve ordered off Amazon. I went on a binge about a week ago, and I’ve got a ton to dive…
For the past two weeks, Kashif has been overseas travelling in Turkey and the surrounding area. He returned today, and brought with him a bunch of souveniers for everyone in the office. The image (above) is called a “Latu,” I think. It’s like a top, but with a bit of string attached to it. Check…
Earlier this year, my friend Matt (aka Tha.Riddla) placed first at the Great Lakes Regional Barista competition. That victory grants him an automatic entry to the semi-finals, at the the United States Barista Championship. This morning, on my way in to work, guess who I see on the opposite side of tracks? Matt (far right)…
Saw this book at Liz’s, last night. This looks to be a must-have guide, and should be required reading for the upcoming Singularity.
