Hobo’s?! There was this kick ass little bar called Hobo’s in Old Town that I have such fond memories of. With their popcorn machine, pool table, and board games. That placed closed down and is…

My teeth are rotting. The place looks great and impressive, but the food was forgettable. They had a $5 martini list (Fri and Sat) which was what roped a few people in our company in. But martini…

“The more easily you can talk about a user interface, the more easily you can...”
– On usability - I like that a lot. There are still things at Inkling where I find it difficult to describe to a user over an email. A couple too many “Click this->then this->then this->then this”es. And so they will get squashed.

“Two inmates escaped from a county jail, hiding the holes they made in the walls...”
– No, this is not a quote from Shawshank. Maybe people need to watch more TV? Pinups of bikini-clad women hid jailbreak route, officials say
The fight with Happy
(+ware) I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road and
(+ware) slowly the driver gets out of the car . . . and you know how you just get sooo
(+ware) stressed and life seems to get funny?
(+ware) Well, I could NOT believe it . . he was a DWARF! He storms over to my car,
(+ware) looks up at me and says, "I AM NOT HAPPY!"
(+ware) So, I look down at him and say, "Well, which one are you then?"... and
(+ware) THAT'S when the fight started . .

Damn those Chicago winters
It’s an oldie and I have no idea who to credit but: Dear Diary, January 7 Decided to take that job offer in Chicago after living in Los Angeles all my life. Can’t wait to experience the change in seasons. February 1 Moved into our new home in suburban Chicago today. It started snowingthis evening. It was the first snow I had ever seen. The wife and I took our hot buttered rum and...
Bad Dog Tavern & Grill (2/5) →
Dull. Nothing we are was bad exactly, but nothing I’d order again. I guess the side of mac and cheese maybe. The service was also dull. Felt kind of rushed out of there, even though there were…
Tom and Jerries!
Origins: As with any 100+ year-old recipe that’s been passed down from bartender to bartender, there are many answers to the question of origin. One story goes that Pierce Egan, an Englishman and author of the 1821 night life guide “Life in London; or, The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom,” introduced a version of eggnog called...

Orange belt
Got my orange belt today at Degerberg which makes my fourth belt. The cool part about this is that I now get to wear an all black gi. You start with all white then at yellow and gold you can wear a black gi top and white pants. At orange you can wear all black. You know who else wears all black? Ninjas. :)
