When we were hanging out a few weeks back, Karen mentioned that she had made a gift for me. Turns out a post that I made about me missing my friend Ann made her sad. And so she decided to make me a gift, to help cheer me up. The part that Karen remembered was…
This? This just hurts. Honestly, I have little qualms that this guy made his own version. In fact, I think it’s kind of cool that my idea excited other people to create their own variations. And Jack did post links to both my blog entry and the entry on Make’s blog. When it comes down…

Steph and Liz invited me to attend a costume party this evening at Subterranean. Liz didn’t get home until about 10PM, so I ended up going over there myself ahead of them, and check out the place. I had never been upstairs at Subterranean before. Color me impressed! A pretty slick stage area, with an…
Chris, working the Luchador mask. Matt, literally with bells on.
Fucking. Awesome. Looking great, Jake!
From: JakeTo: FelixSubj: Boston version of the Operation Game costume Thanks for the great Idea, it was a huge success. Here are the pictures. My wife dressed up as a surgeon. I made it with a 9 volt, some aluminum foil a dc buzzer and some leds that strapped to my nose. Next year I…
Very important meeting. Lasted all day. Sorry – I didn’t take any notes.
I was heading over to Exit to meet up with Liz and Steph, as it was Liz’s 30th birthday. As it turns out, today was also Mingus’ birthday, and I was hoping both groups would get together for some celebrating. Hot Donna, looking her meannest. Erin and Matt, doing his best growl. These were friends…
Mingus, a friend from twelvestone, was going to be in town today. More than that, he was giving a reading at Quimby’s, right up the street from me. The reading itself was part of the Perpetual Motion Roadshow. Well, Jeff (aka FlamingoJeff) ended up driving down from Wisconsin to attend the reading and grab a…
This was on my way in to work. Saw the area being set up. As it turns out, the final stopping point of the White Sox parade was Wacker and LaSalle, literally just one block over from where we work. A little before noon, we all take a walk over to catch the “ticker tape”…
My friend Andy was let go today. He’s a stand-up guy, and though I don’t claim to know the inner workings of the Marketing/Promotion department… Andy was the kind of guy who prided himself on a job well done. My company’s decision to let him go was an out and out mistake. We should be…
Spotted this at the Damen/North/Milwaukee trisection, on the way home. There were barricades all around this corner, and everyone walked around. But looking in, I noticed a pigeon had walked across this thing like he owned the joint. I got a good laugh, and had to pull out the camera.
Leaving work today, this stopped both Chris and me in our tracks. I was reminded of how awed I am by where I work, remembering the first time I looked out on downtown Chicago after work. And the first time I saw it at night.
