I’ve got a plan
One of these days, I’m going to gather all my bicycle images, and make a slideshow type deal. One of these days.

Fema For Kids
A week or so back, I mentioned the Fema For Kids website. Well… the materials I requested finally came in today. Behold! Your tax dollars hard at work (providing me an idle few minutes of chuckling). Yet another reason why you shouldn’t taunt the sky. I love the look on this guy’s face. It’s like…
Party’s Over
Another example of what happens when you let a balloon go.
Early Morning
It was pretty much a grab-any-space sort of sleeping arrangement. I had a sleeping bag with me, and opted for the kitchen floor. For some reason or another, I woke up super freaking early. 7:00 AM maybe? I went upstairs to use the bathroom, and found Linda talking with a few other folks (Mollie and…
Alex and Linda Get Married
Drove up to Green Bay, for Alex and Linda’s wedding. I was alone on the drive up, and it was quite enjoyable. I haven’t been on a big road trip in a while, and driving for a few hours hit a certain spot for me. Excited the whole way up, and looking forward to two…

Good luck, Florida
Robotic Chuck Norris Owes You Nothing
Not quite homestarrunner.com, but it got me to laugh out loud several times: check out Waterman. Give the episodes a go – these guys have definitely seen their fair share of Simpsons and Family Guy. They use a lot of flashbacks and hypotheticals and repetition to pretty decent effect. The first episode (for a first…
SETI@HOME
Earlier today, everyone in the office was talking away about how we might have made contact with extraterrestrials (due to what was potentially a “signal” that was picked up three times. Then, a bit later, everybody calmed down. But for a while there, I was all excited and downloaded SETI@home again. For those who don’t…
Deadtech
I first found out about Deadtech in July, while hanging out with Justin. I was at his place, and Kristen stopped by. She mentioned the show (she’s in it), and told us a lot about the various moves she was learning. Lots of motion and learning how to take a fall in different ways. The…
Majestic Bird
What is it about the city pigeon? Perched here, high atop a concrete marker, he looks across the wide expanse of Chicago as though the city were his dominion. Look at him up there: confident, aloof, superior. A paragon of nobility, he seems to say “I am better than you all. Where you walk amongst…
Audible Frequency
I bookmarked this site about a month back, with the intention of returning and giving the mp3’s a real listen. Well, tonight I went back and was really taken by some of the audio there (particularly the auctioneer entry from Attica, Indiana). Cool stuff, and a really unique take on the whole blog setup. Sound…
Bikes and Talismans
Talisman isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind. I find it fascinating what people choose to place on their bikes. For some reason or another, I’m just always on the lookout for this kind of thing. Tigers and turtles and sumos, oh my!
IAC Grants Due Today
So here’s my application. Got everything together, and about to seal it up and walk it over to the IAC Office. I’m a first time applicant. :) The IAC Office happens to be inside the Thompson Center. This is a stone’s throw away from where I work, so instead of mailing my submission… I figured…
Procrastination
I’ve spent the last few hours rushing to get my application together for the Illinois Arts Council grants. Deadline: tomorrow. Serves me right for waiting around. Matt was trying to motivate me on this a week or two back, but did I listen? Ugh. I think I’ve got most of what I need. Gotta wake…
