Got a call from Howard last night, inviting me out for Dim Sum this morning. I met up with him and John, and the three of us made our way toward Chinatown, where we were meeting Phil. En route, we ended up swinging by one of the stairwells in New Chinatown, where Howard showed us…
Cleaned up a good deal today, as Chelsea was heading over to watch movies. We ended up ordering some pizza from Pizza Metro (I’m convinced they put heroin in the cheese). Beer and scotch, and a crapton of movies. We both have Netflix, and between us we had a silly amount of DVD’s to pick…
I’m a big fan of the West Wing. I don’t watch much TV, but this show got its hooks into me and I’m just addicted to it. So much so that I refuse to watch any of the current episodes. I save them up, and buy the season on DVD so that I can then…
Big thanks to both Kent and Alex, who wrote in to clarify that giant inflatable rat from a few days ago. Turns out, it wasn’t related to the pest control place at all, and was all about the new construction site on North Ave. According to Kent and Alex, the rat is used by protesting…

We’ve got a new designer on board at Emmis Interactive, and her name is Jane! Her first day was today (she showed up at 8:15 AM!), and it’s been a blast having her around. And as though on cue, today was a flurry of activity (moreso than normal), which made for an interesting first day…
Sadly, after work today was a going-away party for Anthony. He’s worked with Emmis for about 10 years, and is leaving his position as webmaster for both Q101 and The Loop. Sad, sad day. We all met up at a place called Uncle Julio’s, and watched the day turn into night over Coronas and margaritas….
I know I’m backlogged on images from the past few days. But since Sunday, I’ve been out and about. Went out last night, played poker tonight, and I’ll be out again tomorrow night. When my social schedule picks up (which, apparently is what’s happening now), it gets easier for blog updates to fall into the…
Me, Will and Donna (who I just met tonight) were over at Chris and Leslie’s place this evening, for some pizza and poker. Talk of Star Trek, as well as the difference between anteaters and aardvarks dotted the night’s conversation. It’s been a long while since I’ve won a game of poker, and I’m happy…
Headed to Justin’s place, post-work, to geek out about some code/pages he’s been working on, and to catch a few drinks. Moving to iceland? It’s not like it hasn’t been considered before. Read read read. Howard and Justin, enjoying some fresh tamales with their drinks. Me and Howard, Rainbo club.
Guess who got a slick Canon Digital Rebel? Sweet! Since I took a photo of his last camera, it only seemed fitting I do so again today.
Not sure what this was about. There’s a “Pest Control” store across the street on North Ave, so maybe a few employees are protesting? Seeing this reminded me of Robin Williams’ joke about taking little kids to Disneyland, and how Mickey Mouse to a five year old is simply a six foot fucking rat.
