Late Night at Work
Work, circa 1:00 AM. Home, circa 3:30 AM.
Launchball
I’m really digging the great icons and crispness of Launchball, to say nothing of the gameplay. Go lose a little time. [via]
Found Magazine: The Crime Issue
On Tuesday, October 9th, Found Magazine will be at Heart of Gold to celebrate the release of Found #5: The Crime Issue (more details here). Davy Rothbart is a great reader, and seeing the Found material live is a fantastic (and oftentimes hilarious/moving experience). I can’t recommend it enough, if you’ve never been. If you’d…
Ladybug, Blue Balloon
After seeing this today, I was reminded of my own encounter.
Installing Parallels on Liz’s Mac
Spent a good chunk of the afternoon looking over documentation and installing Parallels on Liz’s laptop. She needs a program for her grad school classes (called SAS), and that program requires a Windows environment to run. In looking around today, I learned a fair amount about how Parallels works, how to take screenshots, and all…
Guitar + Trampoline = Win
It’s pretty slow at the start. It gets good at about 1:39. It gets great at 3:00. You might be asking yourself “Why? Why would you do this?” It’s best not to ask these sorts of questions.
The Grocer, Solo Show at Foursided Gallery
Liz, Chris and I headed out to Andersonville tonight to check out the (first) solo show by the Grocer. This piece (which I saw at the Pilsen Art Walk) was visible from the street, and was the first thing I saw when looking around, trying to find the gallery. It popped so much, it was…
Deb Dons the Teddybear Hoodie
Deb was in the office today, and while she was wandering around… noticed Bryan’s teddybear hoodie. Soon after, we all insisted that she try it on because… you know, that’s the natural next step.
Sony Bravia Play-Doh Ad
It’s only been a few days since I mentioned it, but the new Sony Bravia ad is out – in all its bunny Play-Doh goodness. Gorgeousness. And the full version/ending is as fantastic as I hoped it would be. Official site (and higher res version) here.
Dave Fischoff’s New Remix Project: Spoolwork
Dave has started a new remix and production project called Spoolwork, and has just posted his first track this morning. From Dave: to kick things off I‚’ve put together a remix of Jens Lekman’s “I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You.” The original version of the song appears on his new album Night Falls…
Jib-Jab Can-Can
Japanese Table Cloth Challenge
My GOD I love Japanese television. When, America? When will you catch up? I started the whole YouTube account thing a few months back, and am trying to make better use of the “Favorites” section. I’ve added most of the Japanese TV show clips from the blog over there. [via]
Intelligentsia Esmeralda Coffee, Revisited
Today at work, I brought in the fancy Esmeralda beans that I got last night, at the Intelligentsia tasting for the most expensive coffee in the world. My initial reactions that night were mild, and I was curious to both try the coffee again, and to see what my coworkers thought. To help prevent against…
La Esmeralda: The Most Expensive Coffee in the World @ Intelligentsia
Last week, my friend Matt (aka Tha.Riddla as well as the Best Barista in the US 2006) told me about a special event: a tasting at Intelligentsia for the most expensive coffee in the world. A few months ago, last May, Intelligentsia purchased 100 pounds of La Esmeralda for $130 each (that’s a grand total…
