Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey

This came from a BB post about weird pictures, earlier in the day. After some snooping around, we found video of Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey. I haven’t laughed this hard for a long time – in fact, everyone at the office was pretty delighted by this one. My favorite part is, about 27 seconds into the thing, one of the…

Always Ask

As we left the bowling alley, we walked over to my car – which was located near the side of the building. There, we saw a guy sort of pacing around, holding a cellphone to his ear. Getting into the car, both Liz and I saw that a side door (located near the end of the building) was slightly ajar….

Left work at work today, because Liz and I had scheduled a date night. Went out to dinner, ran a quick errand, and then made our way over to Diversey Rock’n Bowl for a few rounds of bowling action fun. It’s been a while since I’ve been here.

*grumble*

Work has been kicking my ass lately. I think it’s been a solid week and a half where I’ve done nothing but work stuff, at every free moment. I’m stressing about upcoming projects, and my ability to complete them on time. I’m finding myself devoid of passion for what I’m working on, looking only at trying to get a project…

Adobe Users Group: Flash 10th Anniversary Showcase

About a week ago, I mentioned that I might be speaking at an event at the Apple Store, on Michigan Avenue. Well, tonight was the event… and I showed up with Liz, hoping that I’d get a chance to talk about one of my projects. Outside the Apple Store. Front door, looking in. Lots of traffic today, possibly due to…

I’m helping out with some of the supplemental stuff, but haven’t really been able to assist much as I’m trying to get a…
