Secrets in the news

Looks like PostSecret made the big times today, and got a nice article over on CNN. In case you missed it, I’ve got some videos from an event where Frank Warren talked a bit about the project and the process. Fun stuff, as he teamed up with the folks from Found for a pretty great evening.

It’s a small (pixilated) world after all

On MetaFilter, I saw a post about the 2007 Independent Games Festival Finalists, and checked a few of them out. No longer being on a PC, I looked mostly at the screenshots and tried out a few online games. Gamma Bros. is one of the games that I kept going back to. It’s a bit like Galaga, but with a…

Giant Steps (Revisited)

I know that I’ve mentioned this before, but since we’re doing this sort of jazz thing here… I figured why not. If you’re not familiar with Michal Levy and her interpretation of Giant Steps… go check it out. Seriously. Go do it, right now.

How Many Imaginary Internet Friends Have You Met?

At first, it was more about finding out answers to questions, figuring out how to do stuff (using Flash, mostly).

Garfield Park Conservatory

During the afternoon, Liz and I took a field trip over to the Garifled Park Conservatory. For Liz, it’s been over a year since she’d been; for me, this was my first time. Sometimes, I’m amazed at how large and sprawling this city is. Other times (like today), I’m amazed at how close things can be. I always thought the…

Peabe @ Marshall’s

Tonight, Liz and I went out for a change. We roamed around my neck of the woods for a bit, ate dinner at Papajin, and headed over to Marshall’s – where Bryan was doing a live-painting thing. When we arrived, we ran into two of Liz’s friends (Dino and Lindey). As we walked in we saw Bryan, who had just…

Flowerpot Sweater: Revisited

Ever since posting a photo of Jane’s flowerpot sweater a few days ago, I’ve gotten a few inquiries as to what pattern she used, how she made it. According to Jane, there’s no pattern – it’s just a big rectangle. But, being the detailed person that she is, Jane wrote up a quick (and well-designed) one-pager, for anyone looking to…

Flowerpot Sweater

My how the eggling has grown. Since the little guy’s situated on the windowsill all day, Jane decided a flowerpot sweater was in order and a few stitches, a few purls later… voilà!

Sasuke

Sasuke is a Japanese show that features a super crazy obstacle course, comprised of four parts (each more difficult that the last). Stage One:Balance and Speed are the two key qualities needed to pass this stage, strength coming in at a close third. This stage is designed to weed out those who aren’t physically capable of taking on Stages Two,…
