Kettle Chips. They’re hard to find (at least in some of Chicago’s bigger grocery franchises), but they are damn good. And they aren’t afraid to experiment. I would recommend crunching on these suckers, especially if you enjoy perusing the internet all day long! Greasy keyboards aside, of course.

Joey continues, even during his upcoming finals week at Stout, to design and tweak his upcoming game (working project title: Activate Liberty).

Holy Shit

Yes, I’m back. And All because of this wild videogame collection. Makes me wish I had all the time in the world to play a few extra niche games.

Joe Man & the Battle of the Radio Stations

My brother is writing a comparison paper on the two political radio stations, The Patriot and Air America, and their respective roll of shows and sponsors. Plus, I just fancy his image. Click for the weblog.

After the Visit

My Dad recently visited me in Chicago and I had the opportunity to receive some new goodies (like supplies and food! Desperate college student, you know…). Here are some highlights:

Bookshelf for all my books (which I needed).

 

Water — a necessity. And in mass quantity. 153 bottles total.

Just Got Back

The Wall Street Journal ran an article today about bloggers and vacations. Considering I’m not big-time blogger, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to take a week and a half vacation in Florida. Anyway, I’m back.

This is Sad: Palestine Kids Playing at Shooting U.S. Tourists

The scoop at LGF.

Dangerous time to visit Palestine, in my opinion.

My Desk

Yes, I know the concept it terribly contrived, but I have always had a certain pleasure in seeing others’ workspaces when they post photos online. And so I have done the same.

Knowing the author’s environment lends the reader a sense of that person’s organization, integrity, and lifestyle.

If you’re wondering what the hell that blazing lamp is on the left-side of my desk… it’s the Small Japanese lamp from Crate & Barrel (bought it last year, not sure if it’s still there or not). There simply wasn’t any room for my other C & B desk lamp. I know – dammit.

Oh snap.

Application Icon Lecture

I was perusing Jasper’s Blog (a Mac programmer, currently working on this thing), and stumbled upon a rather stimulating read about computer application icon design and philosophy. While the entire lecture is understably an opinion (and should be treated as a simple philosphy for design in general), I like to think of the man’s dedication to an application’s icon (sounds small, but those things are integral to any application’s aesthetic and user interface) as something to commend.

Godspeed on your future endeavors.
