Today marks the official soft launch of our division’s website. This has been the project that Chris and I have been working at, for some time now. It’s not quite ready for public viewing yet, but we did an internal launch today. Chris and I were both headed out around noon (we were taking a half day off, since we…
Time for another coin guessing game! This one’s from Matt again, who brought in a big pillowsack full of change. I’m not sure how he accumulates so much change, so quickly. I’m convinced that every day, after work, he buys a Slim Jim or something, just so he can get change. He seems to be building these stockpiles faster than…
This requires some backstory. A week or two back, when we were all pulling some late nights, Ben decided to start doing portraits of people in the office. This typically happened either late at night (when everyone was gone), or right at the end of the day (before we started off the evening working). He first did Bryan’s portrait, then…
Believe it or not, over the course of this blog… I’ve recorded Justin trying to catch foodstuff with his mouth not once, not twice, but thrice. In addition to today, I also give for your viewing pleasure: Pancake Frisbee: January 9, 2004 $5 Donut Wager: November 21, 2005
This afternoon, Liz and I swung over to Chris and Leslie’s place, for an afternoon cookout. On arriving, we learned that they had a series of last-minute cancellations, and so it was just the four of us. We hung out in the backyard for a good while, sinking beers and chomping on chips and some (homemade) salsa. The backyard area…
Ok. Some backstory here. Trail’s End popcorn is the brand of popcorn that the Scouts sell, in order to raise money for local troops. But they just don’t go into selling popcorn cold – no siree bob. They have a training video. And in that training video? Actors. Or, should I say, students who excel academically and can recite lines….
Earlier in April, my friend Matt (aka Tha.Riddla) went to go compete in the 2006 United States Barista Championships… and won! Since then, Intelligentsia has opened up a new store downtown. To help celebrate their opening day, Matt was there to serve coffee drinks on-site. I was bummed I missed it (I forgot until about 4PM), but was happy to…
Chris and Ben don some luchador masks and… shenanigans ensue. Anybody recognize that blue mask? Red versus Blue! Blue versus Red! Who will win? Separated at birth? Blue gains the upper hand, er… head! Red goes over the top! A random spectator gets too close to the action, and gets sucked into the wrestling vortex!
Today was Rey’s birthday, and we all decided to get him birthday cake as a surprise. We hid the thing by Ben’s desk, and then crowded around pretending to be looking at some funny video on the web. The plan was, when Rey would come by to see what all the commotion was… we’d part, and reveal the cake. I…
