Call me?
If you're reading this: I need your help. I'm working on a side project, and it involves turning my Mac into a sort of answering/recording machine. If you've got the time (and if you can afford it), please call me and leave a message. I'm trying to test out [read more...]

Such Great Depths
Today, I found out from Ryan Manno how one takes the service elevator down to the lower basement. The elevator at my work place is primarily for people to get down to the loading docks. For those who have key fabs, you can access the second floor (where the elevator [read more...]

I'm about to launch a new personal project called "One Day Secret," and I'd like to solicit your assistance. It's been a blast working on this thing, and I'm really excited to share it. I think it's a pretty easy thing I'm asking, and hopefully... you'll find it fun. [read more...]

One Day Secret
I'm repeating the link again, mostly because I haven't had any time to do any decent updates. Mostly, I've been working on tending to the One Day Secret site, and trying to get that guy up and running. So for today, all I have is a link-out to the [read more...]

Corpus Delicti: Just Desserts on Tour
About a year ago, Chelsea and I went to a pretty awesome show by Local Infinities, entitled Corpus Delicti. Just found out that they're going on tour with the show, and wanted to pass along some of the dates. Rosalind Franklin University Rhoades Auditorium 3333 Green Bay Road, North [read more...]

paraskevidekatriaphobia
You may recall that, a few months ago, my friend Hillary was in town for a few days... and interviewed some folks regarding their phobias (including yours truly). Well, her piece was completed and aired this weekend on Weekend America. Sadly, I found out from her that my audio [read more...]
AS 2.0
The past few weeks, I've been trying to wrap my head around Classes and coding in Actionscript 2.0. At each turn, I feel like I'm wading through molasses. I keep reading over examples, but actual comprehension seems to elude me. I haven't had this hard of a time learning something [read more...]

Lapse
A stunning timelapse from 599 productions. If, like me, you needed a bit of a break from the day... load this thing up, settle back in your chair... and relax a bit. Beautiful work. via Coudal [read more...]

Gift
Over at Liz's last night, I noticed that the living room table was in a slight state of disarray. I soon found out why: she was making me a book! In the past few weeks, Liz has been doing more and more bookbinding. Building whole books together, using both [read more...]
CORPUS DELICTI: Chicago Show Added
I mentioned a few days ago that Corpus Delicti was having another series of shows. Well, it turns out they're doing a few more in Chicago, to boot! If you missed them the first time around last year, I highly encourage you to check it out this year. I [read more...]

Surprise Bday
Went down to Frankfort, as part of a surprise party for Liz's mom. Fun stuff - lots of good food. No picture, mostly because I haven't felt like it lately... and have had zero time to do much of anything at all on here. [read more...]

Random workplace photos
Last Friday, Chris and I wanted to plot out some notes... and so we took the dry erase board out from against the wall. Lo and behold, we found all our Mac boxes, stuffed behind it. And... a day or two later, Bryan and Allison decide to section off [read more...]
Grid Wars 2
Stop what you're doing. Stop it now, and go download this game. Go do it, and do it right freaking now. I've long been a fan of Robotron: 2084. But man... I've found the heir to the throne. And thy name is Grid Wars 2. It's been a long [read more...]
Wallop
Chris and I were recently discussing Wallop a few days ago, and we both applied for invites. I got mine about a day ago, and have been checking it out. I believe that Wallop has been in the works for a few years now, and it's Microsoft's answer to [read more...]

Work Mural
My coworkers have been slowly working on a mural, off and on. Fairly free form, with folks pausing to add a little something here and there. Mostly, I think it's been Allison and Bryan adding to this guy. A creative bunch, those designers. [read more...]
Liz has been busy
Liz, who didn't end up coming to Green Bay... has been busy the whole time I was gone. She went down to the neighborhood lumber store, and ordered up a few items to spec. She then built two contraptions: the first is a sort of hanger, that lets her [read more...]

Happy Halloween, everybody
Behold: the greatest costume ever... worn. Every year, Matt takes the prize for best Halloween costume. This year, he shows that he's truly a king among men. Or maybe make that king of kings. A particularly nice touch: the bottle of Evian water that contains wine. Chris was the [read more...]
