I weep for our species
I bought some storage boxes from Target yesterday, and this is on the inside of every lid.
Alex and Linda Visit
Alex and Linda were visiting this weekend, and a bunch of us got together to have a late brunch at Hilary’s Urban Eatery (HUE), a nice little place on Division, just east of Ashland. En route, I found this. It’s really nice to see the graffiti kids encouraging literacy. Hilary’s. This was the first time…
Múm
Chris and I headed to the Logan Square Auditorium to see Múm tonight. All ages, but despite that the place didn’t feel too terribly crowded (though we were close to the front and it got a bit tight). As more people filed in waited for things to start, I noticed a big stack to the…

Fahrenheit 9/11
Good film. I’m not particularly taken by some of Moore’s (IMO) cheap jabs at Bush, but a compelling film nonetheless. For me, Bush screws himself worse than Moore ever really could. There are some video clips that, really, are jaw-droppingly beyond belief. Chris, Will and I ended up catching it tonight, and stopped over at…

SuperNerd
I spent some time this morning learning about LocalConnection, and was able to get two different .swf files to talk to one another. To make the whole audio experience less jarring, my Flash navigation now knows whether or not someone has triggered the audioplayer in the right module. If the audio is playing, any link…
Gamer of the Week
Impromptu Gathering
After getting off at the Damen stop, Justin, Chris and I all fell to talking. We were discussing grabbing a post-work drink when, who should show up but Chelsea! So all of us headed over to Pontiac to throw down a few and hang out a while. Me. Chelsea. Justin. Chris Will.
So We Have This Xbox Pitch
And we’re working on creating a custom area to promote Xbox Live, on one of our radio station sites. Ben’s doing the mockup, along with Chris. There are a lot of elements to this thing, and it’s focused on providing an environment where gamers can meet and interact with one another. One of the features…
Obsessive Compulsive
I was working on a flash audio dealie at work today, setting up basic controls for streaming mp3’s. Thanks to rypunked for pointing out to me that I could repurpose this thing for the blog. If you check out the newest right module, you’ll see there’s a selection of three mp3 files you can stream….
