Whew!
Alright. After a long hibernation period, I believe that my blog is up and running again! Feels like I've been working at a turtle's pace, but I'm proud to say that I got everything working on my own. Saw a few tutorials, but all the code is absolutely my own. [read more...]

Long Day, Short Night
Well, I was at work until 6, 6:30 or so... stayed to get some Flash work ironed out. THe whole time I thought there was something screwy with my actionscript... but it turned out to be latency issues with our server. Doh! Just about tore my hair out on that [read more...]
Woohoo!
Found a few bugs. Cleared them up. Nav is working, I think. Ah crap. Just realized the "tomorrow" button isn't working consistently. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. Ha! See what I did there? I took the word, and made it into a thing... uh... goodnight. [read more...]
Altered States
Alright - you're going to love this. On Thursday, Justin, Ben adn I are going to Space Time Tanks. There, during our "extended" lunch break, we will each be entering into our own, private, sensory deprivation tanks. Woohoo! I can't tell you how excited I am. Every day, I've been [read more...]
Nav
Ah, me. I've got a lot to talk about. But unfortunately, everytime I get to this thing... it's so late. I want to talk a bit more about the nav, but that's mainly because I'm proud I got Flash and php to play together. Sorta. Oh well. Perhaps tomorrow, when [read more...]

A Collection of Random Images
Three reasons why I had an early New Year's Eve. And some stairs. [read more...]
Navigation, Continued
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 [read more...]
Sensory Deprivation
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. [read more...]
In Case You're Wondering
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. [read more...]

On My Way to Work...
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. [read more...]

Tomorrow
Looks like I'm going to have to save the sensory dep stories for tomorrow. [read more...]

Sensory Deprivation: Sorta Like Altered States, But With Less Peyote
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, [read more...]

Easy Like Saturday Morning
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 [read more...]
The City is Still Sleeping
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. [read more...]
Flash/XML Gallery
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 [read more...]

5:00 AM
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 [read more...]
Fire and Ice
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 [read more...]

The Excitement is Almost Too Much to Bear
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 [read more...]
Finding Old Photographs
I was digging around some old boxes, looking for a Photoshop book that my friend Jim got me, months ago. In so doing, I came across a small stash of photographs, some good, some bad. When I found them, I knew I didn't want to look at them... but of [read more...]
When I Grow Up...
This morning, I got an e-mail from an old high school friend of mine, Craig. He filled me in a bit on what he's doing, and I responded to his e-mail only a few moments ago. As I was writing to him, describing what I'd been up to, what I [read more...]
The Universe Has a Sense of Humor
Seems to be a good day for old friends. First I got that e-mail from Craig. Then, I got a call from my old coworker Thomas. And then, I got an e-mail from a grad school buddy, Wade. I first started smoking with my friend Craig, in high school. Thomas, [read more...]
Beef Stew
Meh. It was alright. Potatoes turned out well, but the beef was a bit dry. I mixed in some cubes of beef, three potatoes, half a red onion, two portabella mushrooms, a clove of garlic and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Definitely needed more spices (I threw in salt and [read more...]
Parental Advice
Alright, I made a promise I wouldn't. But I guess I need some venting. Mom and dad called. Shot the shit for a while. And then my mom picks up where my dad left off, in an earlier conversation. They both feel that I should go back to school, and [read more...]

What Goes Around
Over the weekend, Phantom mentioned a bit about online games. A few titles were thrown around, and Battlefield 1942 came up. Well, as it turns out I purchased the game many months ago, around the same time I bought Unreal Tournament 2003. For many a month, that Battlefield 1942 game [read more...]
Yeah, I Know
The navigation needs to be reworked a bit more. It's functional, but far from intuitive. Grumpy had some good suggestions for me a while back, which I have yet to implement. Soon. [read more...]
Artful Dodger
Got a call from Alex about an hour ago. Going to head over to the Artful Dodger with him and Justin for some drinks. Hard to say no, partly because the bar is right down the street from me, and also because I haven't seen Alex in god knows how [read more...]
