This made my day

Work Kicking In Again
Might not be able to get much updating done in the next few days, as it looks to be a working weekend. It's a big push until Monday, so maybe after that... things will settle down some. [read more...]

Adrienne Shelley, RIP
Adrienne Shelley was the actress in one of my favorite films of all time: a movie called Trust by writer/director Hal Hartley. She was found dead at her office a few days ago. Sad news. I lost track of her after Hartley's films, but it seemed like things were [read more...]

Control of the blog is wagered
Hanging out with Liz tonight, we decided to break out the Yahtzee! once more, for a few games. Our standard pattern seems to be that, whenever we play, we always wager something on the game - be it big or small. For our bet this game: if I won, I [read more...]

The Vino Rides Again!
Today... today has been a long time in the making. The backstory: Liz's first scooter was a Vino, which ended up getting stolen. After that scooter got lifted, she bought herself a Vespa. A month later, the police recovered the Vino and it was pretty much still intact, albeit [read more...]

Richard and Katherine, San Francisco Wedding
Flew in to San Francisco today with Liz, and it's been pretty nonstop since the AM. We took the Blue Line to Clark/Lake, hopped on the Orange to Midway, boarded a plane to Oakland, hopped on a bus that took us to a BART station, hopped on BART, got into [read more...]

San Francisco: Fisherman's Wharf
The next day, a bunch of the family were invited out by my uncle Charles for an early lunch. A ton of folks set out from the hotel down to Fisherman's Wharf - we expected a brief walk, but ended up walking a good thirty minutes or more, before we [read more...]

Mr. Twiggles
This is a pretty insular joke, but my coworkers have named Chris' beard "Mr. Twiggles." A while ago, Chris decided to just let his beard grow and grow for the winter. Soon after that, Matt set up a poll (using one of the polling apps we built for the radio [read more...]
Pandora Podcast: The Basics of Vocal Harmony

Audioplayer Updated!
Been a while since I've updated the songs. About two weeks ago, I was stuck on a cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya," as done by Mat Weddle. I played the CRAP out of that song, and found myself digging through my library for other covers (slower, more mellow versions of [read more...]

Binge
Around noon, Liz and I walked across the street to Milk and Honey. Finding the wait way too long, we decided to get some breakfast to go. Back at her apartment, we sat down to some Orange Brioche French Toast, coffee, and an episode of West Wing (Season 7). [read more...]

Dave on Chicago Public Radio
Just got an email from Dave about an upcoming radio story that will be airing tomorrow (Tuesday, November 21) on Chicago Public Radio. It's slated to take place sometime between 9-10 AM, and was created by Jennifer Brandel. The radio bit follows Dave's process, and reveals how he puts [read more...]
Aside
Man, have I mentioned lately how amazingly talented all my friends are? It's mind-boggling sometimes, when I stop to think about it. Seriously.

Behind the Economics
Last week, Ned came in to our area and asked for some volunteers to do voice work. Normally, I shy away at such a thing, but I wanted to help out since Ned's been helping *us* out so much (with sound effects and the like). So, me, Jane, Chris and [read more...]

Liz's Books

The Crawl: Chicago Public Radio
