Exploring TED Talks: On Motivation, Brain Magic and Collecting Stories
Recently, I’ve taken to watching more TED talks online. It started with a post on Lifehacker about Tony Robbins’ talk on Motiviation. From there, I started looking around at others: Keith Barry: Brain Magic, Martin Seligman: What Positive Psychology can Help You Become, Jonathan Harris: The Art of Collecting Stories, Jaokb Trollback: Rethinking the Music…
My New Office
There’s been a considerable amount of moving about in the office, ever since we had some new cubes installed. One of the biggest changes for me is that… I now have my own office. I got promoted back in February, and that was a pretty interesting/big shift for me at the time. Still is, actually….
Storm Damage, Logan Square
On the way to work, I stopped to check out a little bit of the damage from last night’s storm. There wasn’t a ton of stuff near us (I heard Wicker Park and North Ave got it bad). In talking with Liz, she recalled that huge storm from last year. Comparing the two, she said…
Tornados and Lightning, Logan Square
Tonight, there was a crazy storm that blew through Chicago. And on top of that, there were reports that an honest-to-god tornado was heading through Logan Square itself… which was a bit alarming. Add to the fact that I was sitting on the pot, taking a crap when I found out this news about a…
FlickrTwitterThinker Project Updated
It’s taken me a few months to notice this sadly, but my FlickrTwitterThinker project was throwing a Flash script error… and totally hanging up. Digging around some, I came across a bit of news: Twitter acquired Summize back in July. I learned of Summize through twistori, and used it to power the Twitter side of…

Visiting Crown Hill Cemetery
Early Sunday morning everyone who was in town gathered at Crown Hill Cemetery to visit Grandpa Jung and Uncle Jacky, and to pay our respects. It’s been over a year since my Uncle Jacky passed away, and today was the first time everyone got back together as a group to remember him. Recently, there was…
Happy 97th Birthday, Grandma Jung!
To celebrate my grandma’s 97th birthday, we all gathered back at… you guessed it – my parents’ restaurant, Shen Yang. At every place setting, there was this small poem. Prior to eating we all posed for photos, family by family. David and cousin Ellen, who runs her own blog over at Polarchip. Cousin Jenny, who…
Visiting the Indianapolis Zoo
Prior to the big birthday party for grandma, Liz and I headed over to the Indianapolis Zoo for the morning. Despite a really frustrating 20+ minutes circling the parking lot looking for a space, the rest of the morning was a ton of fun. I love this rear shot. Liz, getting friendly with a bunny….
Visiting the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, Indianapolis
Liz and I headed to Indy a little later than we expected. This past week has been a little hectic, so we left one day later than we had planned, catching our breath a little before heading home. On arriving in Indy, we met up with my sister and my cousin Jenny. We, along with…
Off to Indianapolis
Took the day off work today, and going to head back to Indy with Liz to visit the family. Lots of my family are converging to help celebrate my grandma’s birthday, so it should be a pretty event-packed weekend. The fast-paced excitement that is I-65 awaits!
