Nothing Yet
Bryan, transferring data from his old mac over to the new. Happy and excited don’t come close to describing his joy (no more daily computer crashes, no more sobbing quietly in the corner). As a result of Bryan’s upgrade, his Mac monitor got kicked over to Ben. And, as a result of that, Ben kicked…
Evening
Hung out with Liz tonight, and the two of us caught a late dinner at Moonshine. Her apartment is pretty hot overall, and the AC unit installation was delayed by a day. So we swung over to my place, picked up another fan, and tried to get some cross-breeze action going in her bedroom (which…
Howard’s Move
All in all, not too terribly bad. Me, Howard, Justin and Howard’s cousin Chris helped out. We loaded up some stuff onto a truck, and unloaded it at a nearby storage facility. Most of Howard’s belongings he ended up storing – choosing only the bare necessities for his move two doors over. I didn’t have…
iMac++
Not one, but two! Allison got her new computer today (the Intel-based one, to boot) as did Bryan (whose computer has been crashing at least once a day for some months now). And you know what? Both of them have a little video-cam thing installed, as well. Finally… my dreams of a multi-person video conference…
Everybody… meet Allison!
Joining us in Chicago, Allison hails from Austin – where she’s been working as one of our webmasters, tending to several stations down there. It was cool to officially meet her for the first time, when we were in Mexico. She arrived in town a day or so ago, and has found a place in…
On the way to work
Siren Song
Of coure, after seeing/hearing this… I started thinking about ambulances again, and the notion of tiers of quality.—– ——–
Fan++
One downfall with Liz’s new place – the heat. Up on the second floor, the heat tends to collect and Liz has found her bedroom (and the kitchen) to be pretty hot. There are no windows back there, so the only hope is to offset the stagnant, hot air with some fans. She and I…
Another Move, Rescheduled
Went over to help Howard move today, around 1PM. He’s got a pretty big desk that requires several guys to maneuver, and so I offered to help out. Like Justin, he’s only moving a short distance as a result of his lease coming up. In fact, Howard is only moving two doors down (and onto…
Sudden Realization
Yikes.

Impromptu Cookout
Got an invite from Liz and Steph today, and learned they were to be grilling in the backyard. Liz and I wandered over there around 6:30 or so, with some beers. Firing up the grill… There were additional folks in the backyard, who I didn’t really know. Turns out it was the downstairs neighbors (Evan…
Santa, aren’t you a little… hot?
I wonder what the reindeer do, to stay in shape…
