If it works out. . . .

the 62 bus from Archer & Wentworth to work? 15-20 minutes to cover 2.2 miles, roughly; the Red line? 8 minutes this morning station to station. But I think that’s highly qualified in terms of the conditions that conspired to put me there. Can’t be helped really.

Stopped in the office this morning, but

I promised myself that I wouldn’t put in any more hours outside the normal work week, but, I thought I could get most of the fixes in today rather quickly. Went in at 11, grabbed the files I needed, did a few mods, but, realized I could do the rest at home rather quickly. But [...]

Site updates, life updates

So I monkeyed with the header to get my proposed CSS fix of several months ago to take. It didn’t. Something wrong with my floats and clears, clearly and only in MSIE 7. Whatever. Just another day. Also need to tweak each of the other templates to make sure I’ve killed off the last of [...]

Really busy lately

So much so that A) am missing out on DUX this year, B) an old, somewhat disturbing pattern of awakening at 2 and 4 each morning that happened during the last time I worked in consulting has reoccurred, and I’m not liking it. Why 2 and 4? Why not 1 and 3 or 4:21 and [...]

Sorry, on hiatus

You’ll have noticed we’re kind of on summer hiatus around this blog.
What’s going on? Will to blog has been sucked away due to the will to work, or pretty much so anyway. Dueling multiple interaction design and persona research/writing projects but it’s a project that’s seen me as part creative director as well, so, [...]

Ahhhh, social expression

Spent a few days at the home office in Beachwood. We didn’t get to work on what I’d been summoned there in part to work on, but it worked out anyway. Pretty productive few days and I got to meet some new people, see old colleagues. Ha. Old. It’s almost the end of Year One [...]

Travel Tip: Travelpro Crew6 22″ Rollaboard

This last trip to Ann Arbor, my Protege 21″ carryon rolling suitcase that carried me for 18 months at Viant and the last 10 months at Brulant finally failed.
The cause: handle was stuck in the up position and it wouldn’t go down. I replaced it temporarily with a Eddie Bauer case from the local Target, [...]

Wasting away again in . . . oh never mind

Trapped at MCI on account of inclement weather. For those keeping track at home, this makes 12 hours this week spent waiting in an airport. Even after having gotten in at 3AM this morning into Kansas City, it turned out to be a pretty productive morning. It’s a little curious, but when I get [...]

Lone wolfdom is, well, a lonely place

Did anyone see Fargo and remember the Korean American adoptee who wails, “It’s been so lonely!” Yeah, well. Not exactly a life affirming moment for us Asian Am men. I cringed, but sympathize, particularly more recently. Not only because you’re in a predominantly non-Asian American space, being the midwest and all. It is kind of [...]

Consulting Story #763

I have a car. Actually I drove from Chicago, which took 4 1/2 hours. It’s about the same if I took a plane and it got delayed, which my flights have been doing a lot lately. It’s also the same if you fly in and get a car, because then you gotta drive to town [...]
