Since work’s been so hectic lately, Liz and I haven’t had much time to see one another. In fact, last night was the first time I saw her since like Sunday – which is unusual for us. Tonight though, we had a nice dinner planned out, and relaxed at her place for a nice meal (cornish hen, mashed potatoes, green…
Took a long lunch today, and met up with Chris and Allison over at Hot Doug’s. This being her first time, Allison dove right in and had the: Jalapeno and Chardonnay Rattlesnake Sausage with feisty almond mayonnaise and gorgonzola dolce. I still have Liz’s scooter (from our bet last week), and ended up driving it over today. While we were…
Ned came in looking for some folks to do a bit of audio, and both Mike and Jane volunteered. The results (below) are pretty hysterical.
The long haul at work has ended today. I spent tonight just zonked out in my apartment, mostly on the couch. I have like a week of updates and photos to get caught up on. More, really. Sorry it’s been so lame on here lately. But hopefully now, things have eased off enough where I’m not in the office until…
Worked until midnight. *yawn* more updates later.
One of my daily reads (Daily Dose of Imagery) showcased a rather cool timelapse effect today. Turns out, the device used to create the effect is called pclix – and while it’s a fair chunk of change… mmmmmm, man, I want one. Just thinking about time lapse and such, a thousand project ideas come to mind. If you’re someone with…
Using the “REPT” function and a small font, you can create tiny bar graphs inside a cell in Microsoft Excel. Pretty neat hack, and way useful. Well – probably more for you folks who actually use Excel. But from where I’m at, it looks… neat. via MetaFilter.
Indexed is a great little blog, full of great little charts and graphs. via Ektopia.
With the exception of maybe an hour and a half for lunch/dinner, I’ve been working all day. Ben and I were slugging away at the office until about 1 AM. Talking with Chris today, I think the energy level is low all around. It’s difficult to stay motivated and creative. It feels like the last legs of a marathon. Another…
I came across Lori McKenna rather randomly, through work. I was working on a microsite for one of our country stations at work… and she was slated to be one of the performers, for one of their upcoming concerts. For some reason or another, the station had no audio clips of her work. And so they were going to just…
Met up with Liz’s family this morning, to check out the Air and Water show. They camped out along the lake, right by the Adler Planetarium, as did a few other folks (looking to avoid the crowds, but still catch the show). All in all, this was a pretty great location. Lots of sun, shade, and a great view of…
My schedule has been totally crazy for near on three weeks now. If you know me, you know my distaste for blogs that get updated once a month, all the while urging visitors to “check back soon” for updates. Well, here we are. Sucks, but I haven’t had much free time of late. It’s not a lack of interest, it’s…
