Over IM today, Liz asked if I wanted to grab a quick lunch outside. The day was quite warm, and we were up in the 60’s I think – a tantilizing first glimpses of spring. I said yes, and hopped onto the Brown Line to meet her at the fountain area, next to the Art…
To celebrate my birthday, I decided that a return to Whirlyball was in order. We were here two years ago, but only for an hour (an hour that went by mighty fast). So this time around, more people – and more court time. I reserved two hours for us to drive around and crash into…
Up until mid-week, Liz had thought my birthday was today (Saturday). And so – she had planned a ton of stuff for us to do. Bonus for me, as I get to now extend my birthday day over two days. Three, technically, since tomorrow… I get to do the official celebration. After driving back from…
Liz and I met up with Dustin and Sherie for a bit of brunch today, at a place called Fiddlehead. The timing was a bit off, as we had a bit of distance to travel (and Ric, Jon and Andrea had tickets for a noon game). After they said goodbye, the four of us hung…
I was to meet Liz tonight for dinner at her place. Though I’m having my birtday party on Sunday the 11th – my actual birthday is today. There wasn’t anything official done at work, as we’ve grown to a point where we do multiple birthdays once a month (but for Rey, we make an exception)….
Ok. First, a little backstory. Rey’s birthday was yesterday. But he’s been out of town for the Manager’s Meeting, and while we expected him in the office yesterday… he didn’t make it in unti today. Last year, we got him a surprise ice cream cake. This year, we decided to mix things up a bit……
Sprout is beautiful little game by Jeff Nusz. Not only is the gameplay interesting, but the whole visual style of the thing is something I’ve never really encountered before. I’m definitely reminded of the Grow games, where one decision impacts the next (and can even alter the physical surroundings of the game). The game can…
YouTube user guywiththeglasses has some pretty great videos posted, many of which compress entire movies down to about 5 seconds. I’ve posted by favorites below, but definitely check out his video page for more condensed storylines.
Some great Flash work by the folks at Jellyvision. The interface is slick, the audio is superb, and the timing is impeccable. This whole thing is just *tight*! And to top it off, it’s funny and pretty entertaining to boot. Check out this sample quiz, where you have to guess whether the quotation they give…
Random friend-of-a-friend moment: today at work, Chris was looking at apartmenttherapy.com, and saw that my friends Matt and Melissa had their apartment featured! Photos and everything! Check out all the slick, design-y goodness by reading the article, or checking out the photos. Hmm. Some of that furniture seems familiar.
Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks. I’ve finally gotten everything moved over into Movable Type, and I’m happy to say that as of today – I’m ditching the old blog format. I have a ton of technical details about the process, but I’ll save those for later. For the time being – I hope…
I might be a day away from launching the new version of the blog. I think I can I think I can I think I can.
I realized – this is a boring entry day, as I’ve given you nothing to look at. Pics and starting to come in from this year’s Chiditarod. You can view more on the official Chiditarod site and, of course, Flickr.
