That was fast
I broke down and bought a set of stamps. Stay tuned.
Hmm…
At the end of the day yesterday, I started feeling a bit woozy. My head felt off-kilter, and if I turned around quickly – I got this dizzy sensation. The closest I could describe it is how you feel when you get a low grade fever. On my way to the train, a few times…
Ned Creates His Own Stamp
Ned, one of the many talented sound guys who work at the station, came back today to show off a custom stamp he had made. I had no idea such things were possible! But yes! You, too, can create your own customized stamps at PhotoStamps.com. Sure they’re more expensive, but hey – they’re pretty nifty….
Trail’s End Popcorn: The Screening
Ok. Some backstory here. Trail’s End popcorn is the brand of popcorn that the Scouts sell, in order to raise money for local troops. But they just don’t go into selling popcorn cold – no siree bob. They have a training video. And in that training video? Actors. Or, should I say, students who excel…
Lunch with Liz
Liz and I were talking on IM today, and she brought up the idea of having lunch together. The last time we went out during the workweek was back in April – so it’s definitely been a while. And while I usually balk at doing things spur-of-the-moment, I’m really glad we went today. Liz knew…

Just what exactly?
From Wikipedia: A doppelgänger is the ghostly double of a living person. The word doppelgänger is a loanword from German, written there (as any noun) with an initial capital letter Doppelgänger, composed from doppel, meaning “double”, and gänger, literally as “goer” (though in this context, the meaning is closer to “walker”). In English, the word…

Props from the Netherlands
Got this message a few days ago (when I was soliciting folks to try out the phone number), and it totally made my day. A call from the Netherlands – wow! Hope the long distance charges weren’t too steep. Thanks for the call!
iMac Crash
Sadly, Bryan’s fancy, new iMac crashed today. Repeatedly. He seems to have some bad luck with computers – that, or a particular file/app from his old computer is causing all the bugginess. Here he is, taking a short break while his iMac cools down a bit. Shortly after this, his Mac refused to boot up…
On the way to work
This little piggy… I like how they just missed the Anarchy symbol. Random note: I’ve got a super old photo of the wall here.
Phobia Interview with Hillary
Several months ago, I mentioned that my friend Hillary was looking for people with phobias. Well, a few days ago I got a call from her, letting me know that she’s going to be back in town for a bit, and wanted to set up a time to interview me about my phobias. I, as…
Thunderdome: Finished!
Really, it’s not a thunderdome – it’s an exhibit called “The Art of Interaction,” put up in the main foyer of the Merchandise Mart. This week begins NeoCon (a title I despise, as it does nothing to tell you just what in the hell it actally is). Throngs of people everywhere in the Mart. And…
Coding Day
Spent the day working on my side project. Made some pretty great progress, and I feel like I’m rounding the corner. I’m maybe 60%, 70% done I want to say. A few more good sessions like today, and it’ll just be the polishing left to do. Met up with Justin for drinks and dinner at…
