Portillo’s
Here’s a view of the inside, from the balcony seating area. I’m not sure why, but almost every time we sit upstairs. I tried a few variations, but just couldn’t get the lighting right.

Portillo’s is where everyone at Q101 heads off to, when we go out as a group for lunch. Like a herd of cats, it takes forever for all of us to coordinate anything resembling forward motion. Anytime we go, it’s a mess trying to get people out of the office. It’s a big birthday place,…
Ben’s Birthday!
My coworker and friend Ben celebrated his birthday today. Actually, we’re all supposed to keep that fact quiet. He and Laura are saying that the birthday day is actually tomorrow, since Ben’s will be taking the day off. That way, his son can celebrate the whole day with them. :) But we all knew at…
Extreme I-Sketch
Twelvestone.WOT. This should be fun. :) Hopefully, we’ll get a good turnout. I got introduced to this game a long while back, and it’s always fun when a big group plays. There’s a scheduled game tonight, 7:30 pm PST / 10:30 pm EST. Ehh, I know. There’s little chance you’re going to come across this…
Let’s Try This Again
Holy crap, I’m not sure where that ( ^ ) came from. I was trying to update the blog, but then kept nodding off and almost falling asleep on top of my keyboard. It’s now some 5 hours later (10:14 PM), and I just woke back up. When I looked at the computer, I saw…
The Whiteboard Behind Me: Some Days Good, Some Days Bad
I was hashing out some structure for a potential application that we would be implementing, system-wide, to all of our webmasters. I did a fair amount of number crunching on my end, next thing I knew, my forces wqere flooading the area and keeping the peace.
Late Night: Continued
Wow. It’s about 4:53 PM right now, and I’m still awake. I’ve been up since yesterday morning (an unexpected all-nighter popped up), and everything feels a little hazy and a little farther away than usual. Work was pretty good. Not as exhaustive as some all-nighters have been. But it also wasn’t all puppy dogs and…
Sleep Deprivation, Jim Beam, Rain And A $1,000 Chair
We got out of the office around 2:30 PM. Ben and I decided to have our victory beer at a bar across the street. I had always heard of the Shamrock, and this was my first time in the place. Outside, actually. Ben and I grabbed a drink and settled down outside where it was,…
Late
Out of nowhere, an all-nighter jumped into view. It’s closing in on midnight, and I’m here at the office with Ben, working on getting a small Flash site up and running for tomorrow. Nothing to offer you just yet – it’s just been work so far. But if we’re up and about come tomorrow morning,…
Quiet Night
Didn’t do all that much today, so it’s a brief entry sort of day. I was up pretty late last night, getting photos and movie clips posted from the wedding. I worked hard yesterday. Think of today as me taking a half-day off.
Jump!
Thanks to TS7 for this link. Man oh man, I just about lost my shit when the Track and Field part kicked in. I spent a fair amount of time in arcades as a kid, and pumped in a ton (a TON) of quarters. I remember back in the day when people would actually be…
Sunny Rainstorm
It might be hard to tell, but it started pouring outside… and the whole while, it seemed bright as noon. We’ve had a lot of storm activity come through the area lately, and today’s been a big mix of blindingly bright light and tornado warnings. Mother Nature is rather busy for a Sunday.
Saugatuck: Reloaded
Early afternoon. We all slept in fairly late. Oooh! I almost forgot! Around 6 AM, we were hit by this massive storm. It woke everyone up, and we were all moving from window to window, trying to see what in the hell was happening outside. Again, a few places lost power. There was so much…
Kent and Christine Get Married
I’ve been up early today, running errands and going to be meeting up with Dave and Alex at 11:00 AM. Today is Kent and Christine’s wedding, and we’re all going to be travelling to Michigan for the festivites, and staying the night. Woohoo! Dave, leading the way. Before we left Chicago, Alex was delayed and…
Just Because I Can’t Get It Out Of My Head
When my baaaaby…When my baby’s not with me, I go to Riiiiiooooo…de janeiro…my amigo…I go wild and then I have to do the samba…and la bamba…
