Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving: I stumbled upon this PETA game for thanksgiving (don’t watch the videos if your the fainting get grossed out type) the game is very cartoonish and pretty dramatic but well built and pretty should I say it “fun” to play. In the game you are told to prepare a turkey dinner and from there on the story begins.

So this is what happens when you put 200 cameras on a circular rig and shoot an ad.

MR CHI CITY: So nicholas sent me this video of mr chi city keeping the fridge stocked, diving deeper I found this site and the boy is genius. worth watching is the dollar menunaire video and keep your fridge stocked video. (note probably offensive to most people).

Red Bull Cola , 100% natural ingredients and pretty tasty. tried it out today and it tastes pretty great was expecting it to be like red bull filled with b vitamins and such but turns out it just a natural cola. kinda tastes like if you added some spices and vanilla to coke. TASTY.

Fall is Here.

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:29:19 -0400

Today I finally feel like fall has arrived , leaves are falling off the trees and the air is crisp. fall Is my favorite time of year! I was reminded this weekend how great of a beer delirium tremens is I had about 3 of them on friday and was also reminded of how strong they are. Video chatting on Ichat is one of the coolest/awkward its great when the bandwidth is cruising and you can see everyones face and gets terrible once everything becomes choppy and things are delayed its like being the person who get the joke to late. Also electric cars are really starting to jump off , I would love to own this Electric Mini .

Dubai Construction

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:23:55 -0400

Dubai Construction: so pretty much we are taking it back to the old school egyptian pyramid building , using almost slave labor to build these structures , I lost a little bit or respect for these amazing structures popping up in dubai. hope the facts in this article are somewhat accurate.

Mac Book Pro

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:52:17 -0400

For the last couple of months I have lived at my apartment without a computer my old laptop bit the dust, today I got a mac book pro and thanks to the apple business department for hooking it up! I have to say having this laptop will change my ability to travel which I am really excited about. It will also let me get back into doing some experimental work! The one thing I am not stoked about is the fact I feel this laptop blows my desktop mac pro out of the water in performance which will make me wanna use this laptop all the time. In other new hope you never ever ever get picked for JURY DUTY I am aware that as a resident and voter in the united states it is indeed your duty but no excuse is good enough for them. so hope you never get called.

Coca Cola

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:36:04 -0400

Why is it that the united states can’t get coca cola with cane sugar? I haven’t had a coke with cane sugar since the summer when I picked it up at a mexican grocery store but the flavor is so much better then the coke we make here in the states.

Working , Teaching , Fun

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:03:09 -0400

Time flies when you are busy. Started teach a workshop on adobe flash its great and far more challenging to plan lessons then I thought it would be. Client work and 12+ hour work days never seem to stop and are always happening latley. I think some time off in november is going to be neccesary. Nicholas is in spain right now which is madness (I hope to get over seas this december). Rumors are that new mac books are going to come out on oct 14th, if this is the case I need one like yesterday having now lived my life with no computer at my apartment for like 3-4 months and soley surviving off the iphone and my office computer. also http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/10/09/national.debt.clock.ap/index.html economy is so ridiculous right now its all I hear about and most of what I talk about these days(besides nerdy talk), but at least the population is paying attention to the problem. how the government is able to provide 700 billion dollar bailouts is beyond me, so I hope things get better.

Remeber that one time I actually blogged

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:26:21 -0400

What a busy summer it has been lots and lots and lots of development going on I had to drop off the face of the earth for a moment as we had a developer walk out on us mid project forcing me to work an infinite amount of hours to catch up which then in turn delayed all of my other projects. Summer has gone by way to quickly and so much of it has been spent in the office slamming out projects now its time to do fun things. I am starting a class to teach flash in the chicago area it should be a great experience and I am looking foward to trying out teaching, It is something I have always wanted to do and now I can do it on my own terms. The fall should bring a slower pace of life and therefore more blogging!

Weekend Round Up

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:12:12 -0400

crazy weekend , went to a bar that reminded me of the movie roadhouse. It was called “neighbor hood inn” and was attached to a 7-11. Went to an outside beer garden in the suburbs , and finally a friends and family event at Angels and Kings. All and all a good weekend. Sunday I took the day to relax and I sat down in front of the tv for longer then I have in years, drawn in by the “NASA Missions” A new documentary on NASA on the discovery channel(I would highly recomend watching it). I could not even imagine being alive when the news broke that a man was able to land on the moon just totally blows my mind.

Work is busy I just finished the site for AK so check it out Angels and Kings Tons of various other things at work trying to plan for some bigger projects, some really cool stuff on the horizon.

Back to Blog

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:56:44 -0400

I’ts been like 2 months since I last blogged mainly because of how crazy work has been moved into new office and then just getting slammed with work makes for fun times. Ive been working on this really cool flash framework that makes my job a bit easier more on that soon. Nicholas opened a bar which is a pretty great thing (the bar is rad). The weather is amazing here in chicago right now and it makes me feel like I am in california again. More blogging to come.

Finally Moved In

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:05:35 -0400

The last couple days have been very very busy moving in all the equipment and fun stuff into our new office. we are pretty much setup now with the exception of some more desks. Its one of the most exciting times in my life right now as Ive been working for the past 2 1/2 years to get to the point where we could have an office and really get things rolling. It is also great to get out of my apartment and travel to a place where I see people everyday. More photos of the office will follow.
