Yesterday, I ran a ton of errands. I’ve been meaning to get a tea kettle for a while now, and decided to throw some money towards a crock pot. Not sure why, but I’ve been playing with this idea for some time. My mom used one (on rare occasions), and from my understanding… you just…
By Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire; Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Woke up, drank some juice and then decided I felt like staying up. Not sure why. On PBS, there was a documentary on the life of Robert Frost. It was an old documentary, which you can somehow always tell based on clothing styles of the folks they interview, as well as the "grain" of the…
At work, I walked Justin through a Flash/XML photo gallery that Ben and I created for the Emmis stations. This is a variation on what I was doing before (which involved using Flash’s built-in Combo Box and List Box), and I learned a ton making it. Instead of using Flash’s components, I ended up using…
The odd thing about downtown Chicago, early on the weekends: it’s a ghost town. Barely anyone on the trains at all. When I got off at Clark and Lake, get this: I saw someone moving around on the tracks! I realized that it was a CTA worker, cleaning the walls. Funny – I’ve only recently…
Woke up early this morning, and headed in to the office to meet with Justin. Yes yes yes. It’s Saturday. And the two of us are being geeky and spending the day at work. Oddly when I woke up, I was in a rather terrific mood. I got some coffee and even though there was…
I spotted a vent on the side of the Flatiron building, blowing out against the moon:
A bit late with this, but I’m hoping it’s worth it. Here’s the recap of yesterday’s adventures with Justin and Ben, floating for an hour in sensory deprivation tanks: Ben and Justin, all of us standing at the Merchandise Mart station, waiting for the train. I’m excited at this point, and it’s around 1:00 PM….
Looks like I’m going to have to save the sensory dep stories for tomorrow.
Brought the camera with me today, to document the whole sensory deprivation tank experience. Walking to the train, I started snapping a few photos. And in the afternoon, I got a few more when going to the bank. Feels good to be using that camera again. Stopped to take this. It’s nothing more than some…
I’m moving around all my image files. Any pictures and such will be broken, but only for a bit. This should be fixed in the next hour or so.
Happening tomorrow! I can’t wait! I’m going to try to get some decent sleep tonight. That way, I’ll be rested and ready to… uh… rest… in the… uh tank. yeah.
Still working things out with the Nav. I think I’ve finished the "Tomorrow" button issue. Trying to get the fonts to appear a bit crisper. Grumpy also suggested having the "current" month and day have different colors than the button rollovers, which is an excellent idea. Slight changes will be coming, a bit at a…
Three reasons why I had an early New Year’s Eve. And some stairs.
