The only way to make it better?
This is a general rule: add some ninjas, and whatever it is... it just got better. (Sidnote: if the link above doesn't work, try refreshing the page a few times). [read more...]

Winterizing
After work, I stopped off at Home Depot with Justin. I was running late this morning and figured, what the hell... and drove in to work. I've been meaning to insulate the apartment a bit more, as this place just seems to bleed heat. So: Home Depot, and a few [read more...]
Holy Visitors
Ok. So I have access to some basic site stats through my host. I sift through the info most nights, just to see if I can glean any information on how many folks are visiting and what areas they're interested in. It doesn't identify individuals, but it gives me a [read more...]

Happy Birthday Chelsea
Ended up at The Green Eye (a small little bar near the Western Blue Line stop. Met some interesting folks, and didn't feel uncomfortable by not knowing folks. All of the new people I met were very friendly and open, and I fell easily into conversation with almost everyone. I [read more...]
Found Magazine: Backstory
For those not familiar with Found Magazine, I highly recommend checking out their website. It's a great collection of found objects: letters, photographs, notes, you name it. And it's all submitted by people who stumble across these things, day to day. What's so incredible about a lot of these [read more...]
Dirty Found
The night I attended the Found party, Jason ended up adding my name to the Found Dirty Picture Club: an email list that sent out the occasional found dirty picture. Over the years, it turns out that a certain number of the submissions to Found have been a bit [read more...]

The Daily Apple
My friend Juliet has started up her own site: The Daily Apple. She's an excellent writer, to saying nothing of her humor and her observational skills. Despite the fact that I have my own blog, I don't really keep up with other people's blogs. I simply can't be bothered; [read more...]
Apartment Cleaning
I got home around 4AM this morning. Promptly fell aspee. I've been meaning to use this weekend as a time to clean up the apartment. It's gotten pretty bad over the past few weeks, and I wanted to tidy up the place. I'm proud to say that all day today, [read more...]
Momma Fox, Poppa Fox
I got to call up the Foxes tonight, and chatted with the two of them. Alice Fox was born last week on November 24th. Welcome, Alice! You're going to have a great time here. [read more...]
Meh
Did a lot of reading this afternoon, which was fun. Because of last night, my whole day has had this staggered-start going on. Watched a fair amount of PBS. And ended up breaking out the first Dark Tower book and reading it absently, off and on. A very indulgent afternoon. [read more...]
Doom Funnel Chasers
Firing a ball of duct tape into a Doom Funnel has never been this much fun! [read more...]
Wordcount
As an FYI: Felix is at 12480. [read more...]
The 278th Leaving Home
Check out what Dipti's been up to, working as an online producer... shooting video, working in Premiere, working with HTML and Flash. Who knew she was such a nerd? Great stuff here. And on top of all of this, Dipti takes a mean photograph. Keep an eye out for [read more...]
Art Making Progress
Ben's been keeping track of his progress lately, on his latest piece. A cool thing to watch, as the piece unfolds bit by bit. Definitely check out the video he made last week. [read more...]

Lost in Translation: Home Depot Edition
So I went back to Home Depot today, to look for some tubes of sealant. I wanted to patch up all the cracks and drafts in my windows, prior to throwing on the saran wrap. There was a temporary/removeable brand that I used before and, unable to find it on [read more...]
Spooks
This is a great interactive game, part of a series that's on BBC. This thing won a Favourite Website Award, which goes to prove that a small, well-made bit of multimedia can compete with a full-blown fancy-smancy site. [read more...]
Dang
I was about to buy my camera tonight. But after calling my credit card company (I wanted to let them know about the purchase, since I haven't used it in a while), I wasn't able to answer one of their questions (regarding a bill discrepancy from a while back). Since [read more...]
Dear Home Depot
I feel like I should have gotten a little something, for hustling your Home Depot credit card in another language. I'm not asking much. Maybe one of those stylish orange aprons. [read more...]

Request for Audio Messages
There is a site that I stumbled across some months back, called Audible Frequency. I was (and still am) taken with the various audio recordings posted by the site's author. Some really great stuff there, and the whole site has a particularly unique view (sound) of the world. Tonight, [read more...]
With the Lights Out...
I updated the audioplayer (over on the right there) with three flavors of Smells Like Teen Spirit. A little something for everyone, I guess. :) [read more...]
Snowball Fight
The holiday season is fast upon us, and you know what that means... sites are coming out with their own seasonal Flash games. Check out Snowball Fight, where you can go head to head with another player online. It's just like Scorched Earth. But with more snow. [read more...]
Done and done!
It's ordered. And en route. Along with a nice, juicy 1 Gig SanDisk Extreme FlashCard. Woot! [read more...]
Head in Hands
I went digging through some old files this evening, and decided to add this one to the list of experiments. I made this partly as an exercise to see what I could do with just text, and partly because I've been fixated on this song for several years. A [read more...]

Dear rypunked
I can only assure you things will improve. We miss you. Come back soon. [read more...]
Loot++
Tonight was our annual work dinner, made extra special since we recently purchased the Loop. So there were staff folks from both stations in attendence. Fun stuff, although all I really did was stand back, work the open bar, and sip myself into a scotch stupor. I talked with a [read more...]
Nostaliga: Christmas Bowling
Tonight, I was reminded of the office Christmas party of 2002. This would have been my first ever Emmis Christmas party, and the one where I lost $81 to Ben on a bowling bet. I'm still convinced he grifted me. ;) [read more...]

XB Mad Bull
This would be the car I won at yesterday's company Christmas party. Let me insert a story here. Back when I was in 8th grade, I had a science teacher named Mr. Carlson. Among the various chemistry experiments we did, he was open to us students performing our own [read more...]
Gentlemen...
Sweet indignation
Tonight, Justin and I headed over to Danny's post-work for a few drinks. We got into an interesting conversation about film and the artistic process, particularly as it pertained to music. I was of the mind that having music first would be more of a bias, and interfere with the [read more...]
Christmas Comes Early
I came home tonight to find my friend Dan's CD in my mailbox. What a great surprise! Dan - thank you! Ah, and I just noticed that, on his music page, he did a version of the theme song from Spirited Away!What a coincidence. A week or so back, I [read more...]

Johnny Depp and the Chocolate Factory
As interesting as this looks... I really wish they'd stop fucking with old movies. Seriously - how many remakes do we have to do each year? Is there such an absence of decent screenplays out there that we have to resort to hedging our bets like this? I'm torn [read more...]
Recommendations?
What would be great, with the new car? If we could somehow jerryrig a videocamera and mount it on the thing. I'm talking some kind of wireless camera that would be able to send images back to a computer screen. This way, we could drive the thing around the station [read more...]
Camera! Woot!
My new camera arrived. Yeah! I've got a ton of reading and experimenting to do. This thing is vastly different from my old camera, and I can't wait to try it out. So hopefully, there will be more pics on the blog now. Tomorrow, I'm planning on shopping around [read more...]
Pace
I don't know what it is, but lately... I've been running at about 40%. I'm doing work, but my brain is slowed and my attention span seems for shit. I don't know if I'm coming down with something (I don't really feel that sick), or if it's my body reacting [read more...]
Levers
I was reminded of this game earlier in the week. This thing is maybe 3+ years old, but still fun as hell. [read more...]

Texas Holdem
Hung out with the boys again, and we played a crapton of poker. Three games, in fact. We started around 8PM and I ended up leaving somewhere around 1:30AM. Good stuff, and loads of fun. Will threw down an impressive amount of beer. I got to meet the infamous upstairs [read more...]

There Used to be a Strong House Here
In the time that I was without a camera, they did a lot of work here. [read more...]

Mena Christmas Party
Travelled out to the suburbs with Chris and Justin, for Rey's family Christmas party. Got to break out the camera a bit but, partly due to its newness and partly due to my shyness... I didn't take all that many photos. I knew a handful of work folks at the [read more...]

Skeletal Systems
A really interesting series of character studies, by Michael Paulus. Hello Kitty finds its way into art a lot, it seems. [read more...]
