A coworker of mine, Jan, recently got married. At a party for her, a few weeks back, the two of us shared a rather slurred converastion about love and "fate." She asked me if I believed in it, and I said "no." We then talked at length about love, and how you "know" whether someone is actually "the one." Lately,…
My friend Justin IM’ed me today, and basically gave me a nice little gift. A small freelance gig, creating a "matching" game in Flash for a radio station. The bulk of it should be ActionScript, which is very exciting to me! It’s due Monday, so I’m hoping to get a few good days at it before the weekend arrives. I’ve…
For the past two days, the city of Chicago has declared an Ozone Action Day. Before moving here, I had never heard the word. In fact, after almost two years in the city, yesterday was the first time I had heard a reference to it. People who are already especially vulnerable to ozone are even more vulnerable when exercising or…
Alright. I had dinner, drifted off, and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up sometime around 3 AM, and saw that a NOVA documentary on the trebuchet was on. This was the coolest thing ever. I stayed up and watched it for an hour. What makes it even geekier is that I’ve seen it before. My question is –…
You can’t blame someone for their feelings, or hold them responsible when those feelings change. Still, I seem to be doing a pretty good job of that.
This kind of thing happens once every few weeks. I’m not sure what it means, but I know that my hand gets extremely red. Perhaps it’s some gene. Not that many people in my family drink, so I haven’t been able to confirm this. The few times I have seen relatives imbibe, they seem to turn extremely red in the…
On Tuesdays, you need to tape NOVA. You keep saying you’re going to do it, but for Christ’s sake… it’s been what, more than 6 months of talk? How hard is it to remember to put a tape in the VCR?
Portnoy: This is strategic to the company because if the advancement of the value of its image over time is contingent upon the alignment of all activities and the desired image is ill defined at the outset, over time the ability to control it will be lost. jverbal: alrighty then Portnoy: I am currently transcribing three faxed, hand-written pages from…
I drove to work today, instead of taking the train. Partly because I wanted to be more in control of my traveling. Partly because I wanted to hear music. Lately, I’ve been wanting to write a poem that captures the essence of the morning – that sensation where the coffee’s just started to kick in, a great song comes on…

I clicked on “Yesterday” on your site, and saw this: I ended up staying at work late, doing stupid “trademark” searches for potential brand names. Glad I could help…
For the past two entries, nothing’s happening here. No pictures. No stories. No excitment… I don’t know about you, but I’m bored silly. And this is my friggin’ blog! Going to try to ride the Metra tomorrow. Hopefully, I can compose a more coherent/interesting entry.
Just went through Photoshop and created an action to throw in a 3 pixel white border on an image. Created a batch process, and updated all the pics.
Big day Monday. A client of ours is having an incredibly big launch Tuesday, so we need to have a TON of crap ready to go by end of day, tomorrow. I’ve got all the components I need, and it’s a matter of weaving all the pieces together. I’m making a standalone animation (3 minutes), that will double as a…
I wasted my entire day. Short of updating this area, I haven’t done one productive thing while the sun was out. I went back and used the spellchecker, and tried to clean up most the pages, made sure all the titles were using intial caps…. yadda yadda. Most of today was sipping on water, and trying to feel human again….
jverbal thinks it looks fat.
