Blog 3.0
So... new site design. I didn't officially participate with Reboot, but gave myself the May 1st deadline as a sort of personal goal. Felt like changing things up, as it's been a while since this place has gotten a new coat of paint. Hope you like. If you spot any [read more...]

City of Lost Children
A few weeks back, I ended up watching Amélie with Liz for the first time. I had heard great things about this movie, but just never got around to seeing it. Now - I'm kicking myself for waiting as long as I did. As the movie progressed, I noticed [read more...]

Hello Gapers Block
Got a nice mention on GB today, regarding the Sumo Wrestlers entry. Pretty cool! I always end up getting a nice traffic spike, whenever I'm linked by them. I also like that I'm being filed under "Offbeat." [read more...]
The Best Barista in the United States
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 [read more...]
A warning
On the way back to work, I stopped to take a photo of some construction happening along the walkway at the Merchandise Mart stop. As I'm taking photos, this guy comes up and asks if I'm a student. When I say no, he then tells me that taking photos [read more...]

Me and Gwen Stefani, Rocking the American Airwaves
So this was a great email to receive this afternoon - and totally made my day. I think it's pretty funny too that, seeing as how my job entails building websites for radio stations... my own website made it onto another company's radio station. The ironing is delicious. Oddly, [read more...]
Deck Progress: PM
Preparation
I've been running around all day today. Worked from home, then jaunted out to run last-minute errands, then worked some more until about 8:30 PM. At that time, Liz came over to my place after her shift at C&B, and helped me clean up my apartment. After working not one, [read more...]

Busy Day
Worked until 2:30 PM. Left early to go meet with Liz and her step-dad, Bob. Moved a couch and a side chair into her new apartment. Hung out at Happy Village and had a beer with them. Drove Liz's scooter for the first time. Saw Anne and Michelle for the [read more...]

Hello Netscape! Again!
Looking through my referrer logs today, I found that I made it onto Netscape. Again! The last time this happened was about a year and a half ago, and I got a ton of traffic as a result. Pretty cool to get a nod from them, even if it [read more...]
Dolphin Discovery
Jane and Bryan, watching the "Dolphin Discovery" DVD that Justin and Matt received while in Mexico. Swimming with dolphins was one of the many "Free Time" activities we had, while on our business trip. And after watching these videos, I'm regretting not going. Jane tried to get a screencap, [read more...]
After Absenter
Driving with Liz last night, we were sneaking through a backroad (I think it's called Southport). I've been through here before, but tonight I spotted a few trucks with their doors open... and decided to snap a few pics. Of course, I'm a symmetry nut - and the tires [read more...]

Photos, LaPorte
Well this was kind of cool. While I was away in Mexico, I got a note from Jason. He was looking to use a few photos I took for his website. Sweet! If you haven't already, check out the LaPorte, Indiana book site. There are some great sample photos [read more...]
Phone Valet
I made a fairly big purchase today, and got myself a copy of Phone Valet. This software should allow me to turn my Mac into a sort of automated Message Center. Lots of features, though I'm not certain I'll be using it in the way it was originally intended. [read more...]

On the way home from work
Porch Complete!
This was completed while I was away in Mexico, but today was the first decent day to grab a photo. Next up on the agenda: a grill! That, and maybe a big table so I can host a Texas Holdem game or two. Once the weather gets a bit [read more...]
work++
Long night of work. Ben was in the office until about 11:30 PM, and Justin and I were at it until midnight. I got a bit of freelance in, as well as work work. Chugging along... it's one of those weeks. [read more...]

Office Construction
About a year ago, we had a ton of construction at work and moved in to our current digs. We've hired a few folks since that time, and we're looking to hire a few more - so as a result, we're building out new desks. I'm pretty wowed at the [read more...]
On the way home
Walking from the Damen Blue Line Stop, I noticed a few, occasional bubbles in the air, floating around the North/Damen/Milwaukee trisection. After looking around a bit, I spotted the source: two auto bubble makers, sitting on a second floor ledge on North Ave. The bubbles got picked up by [read more...]

Bryan Haircut Photos: Before and After
Bryan had a haircut today, and went in telling the stylist to "do whatever she wants." This is the before shot. And this is the after. Nice! Sort of makes me wonder if I should get my hair cut again. [read more...]

Office construction, done!

Phone Valet: Some Progress, Some Problems
My copy of Phone Valet arrived today. Very excited. Got to mucking around with it some, and got so far as setting up a voicemail recording... as well as two separate mailboxes, depending on what number you punched in. Awesome! The one downfall is that, apparently, when I try [read more...]
R.I.P. Stanley Kunitz
I saw on MetaFilter that Stanley Kunitz passed away a few days ago. I must confess that I'm not familiar with his work, but I've looked over a few of his poems since his passing. I'm looking forward to picking up a collection sometime soon. I found one (below) that [read more...]
