Chicago: Winter Parking Ban
I'm not sure when this rule went into effect, but I guess now there are "Priority Arterial Routes," where nobody can park... regardless of the snowfall amount. I'm used to seeing the old signs where, if there's 2 inches or more on the ground... you can't park. Those signs I'm [read more...]

Forgetfulness
Tree and Wine
Running errands in the evening, Liz and I also picked out a Christmas tree. I honestly can't remember if I ever have done the tree thing before. We had a plastic one when I was growing up; I think I may have gotten an actual tree in the last [read more...]
It's official!
We finally completed a website for ourselves. After several years doing stuff for others, we've finally put our own portfolio together. Feels good to have it finally done, after much talking and planning and working. I'm particularly tickled that, in the Portfolio section, yours truly makes an appearance. And [read more...]

*cough*
Feeling the onset of what might be a cold. Called in this morning, and decided to work from home instead. I woke up last night with a pretty sore throat, and today I've been throwing down Advil and Echinacia, trying to stay ahead of the illness. So far, so good. [read more...]

A few days ago, Liz and I got a Christmas tree together. Tonight, with her roommate Lisa, we loaded up on wine, gingerbread and eggnog... and settled in for a night of decorating. Lisa and Liz, getting the stand ready. Unadorned. A little wine, some gingerbread. The Beam was supposed [read more...]

Walking to the car
Walking to Justin's car with Allison, the three of us talked about Chicago in winter (this being Allison's first): the scenic, the cold, the good and bad.

Woot Monkey: Fun and Disturbing
After grabbing a few items from woot.com, Chris decided to purchase this little guy: a Woot Monkey. Apparently, the thing launches in the same way that you would launch a slingshot, and emits a somewhat unsettling screeching sound. Kinda like it's dying. [read more...]

Some of my coworkers have recently started to piece together their own personal robot: the Walkenator 4000. They seem to have a very selective memory, and I'm the only one who remembers how the Walkenator 3000 went on that horrible, horrible rampage last time. But oh well. They keep [read more...]

Apple Pie and Fancy Gadgetry
Liz decided to try her hand at apple pie tonight, and made use of a few gifts that she's gotten during the process. I took some video of the apple-peeler and the whipped cream maker in action. Does this look familiar? If at first you don't succeed, try, try [read more...]
