While Liz is away, I’m keeping an eye on her Vespa. Drove it in to work today, despite the 50% chance of rain (luckily, all the thunderstorms happened during the workday). The Vespa has had some problems lately (it wouldn’t start about 2 weeks ago, randomly). And after some finagling and a battery charge… it’s…
I’ve done a TON of updates tonight, getting caught up from the past week. So many, in fact, that I’m only going to post one photo and direct you to the start of all the updates: July 5th. Sorry for the bit of lag time. Hope you have fun getting caught up. :)
A few days ago, I mentioned how Chris and I were working on a game for work. Well, in addition to “Joystick Nation,” I wasn’t very familiar with any good books on games or game theory in general. Partly, I wanted to read what other people thought. Partly, I’m trying to prepare for an upcoming…
I dropped Liz off this morning at the Damen stop, so she could catch an early train out to O’Hare. She’s heading to Hawaii to visit with her sister, and is off on a week-long vacation. After her hectic few weeks (working one full-time job, two part-time jobs, and a class two times a week),…
Only Liz knows about this, but I happened across the page… and I feel I need to fess up. Earlier today, I double-parked near my house. There was an empty space, but I decided it was too small for me to fit (on getting out, I realized I could have fit). And so I double-parked…
Sadly, today I noticed that the small plant/tree that used to be growing up here… has been removed. Whether it was cut down, or whether it was growing in a pot all along and got moved… I don’t know. Weird that I have images of it, from so long ago. Check out June 16, 2005…
Jasmine, looking cute as ever during our meal at Club Lucky. I’m not sure if this is a Chinese thing, or just something with our family, but there’s always been a big rush to grab the bill. This is something that’s stemmed from back when I was a kid – and all the adults (uncles/aunts)…
There was a pretty serious Blue Line accident tonight, right during rush hour. We started hearing some reports (Liz called me from a bus, after having spent some 40 minutes stuck on a train). And though it was a bit hazy – the general sense was that a fire broke out, and all the northbound…
Unbeknownst to me, Mike and Chris had another bet going. I guess the White Sox and Red Sox were playing again, and the loser this time had to buy the winner Chipotle. Mike ended up going over solo, and picking up everyone’s order (via the fabulous Chipotle website). Nothing terrible exciting (Mike is trying to…
Fixed a small bug in the nav (“latest entry” linked to 4/ instead of 04/, for example). I’ve been meaning to go back and add in some of the older navigational controls (previous/nextt day, etc) to say nothing of the whole IE/ActiveX/Flash issue. Man. The more I think about it, the more I have to…
