Growing Older

Today marks the first Halloween where I haven’t dressed up, since I’ve been in Chicago. I’m a bit bummed by this fact. I want to blame work for this. It’s an easy out, and way too easy a one at that. It’s not like I didn’t know Halloween was coming. It’s just that lately, I’ve felt so busy… I haven’t…

Scooter Repair, Plan B

After looking over the work required to get her scooter back up and running, Liz found out that there was more wiring/electrical work that needed to be done. The type of work that she didn’t know how to do. So – she looked around, and found a guy via Craigslist that repaired scooters. Turns out, he lives like less than…

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 only other office-mate who dressed up today. Here he is, showing…

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 store all her fancy paper without folding it. The second… I’ve…

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.

Road Trip: Green Bay

Justin and I planned a trip to visit Alex and Linda in Green Bay this weekend. Instead of leaving last night (Thursday) as we had planned… we decided to make an early morning trek. Showers at 5:30 AM help me to wake up, but nothing like coffee will. Quick stop at the neighborhood Starbucks for an eye-opener. I didn’t snap…

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 MySpace. It’s all Flash-based, which is interesting. But so far, a…

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 time, a LONG time since a video game has captured my…

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 their area and create their own country. Successionist bastages!
