Spent the day updating BenSeese.com’s behind-the-scenes blogging software to the modern era, and then decided it was time for a new paint job at the same time. I do plan to switch out the bus photo; it was the first one I stumbled across that worked in super-wide black&white. Whadya think so far?

I’ve been getting a kick out of the latest oddball camera to hit the shelves. The Casio EX-F1 is an ultra-high-speed video camera that can slow down action to the point of absurdity. Hard to convey with words; just check out the results:

A lot of my best friends from college came into Chicago for the holidays. Here is one fun night (of many to come). It’s broken into two ~10 minute installments. Watch them in their full high-definition glory over on Vimeo by clicking here & here, or below:

We’re happy to welcome Jen S. to our place as a semi-temporary houseguest. She’s already got a piece of her snazzy artwork up on the wall, with (hopefully) more to come. This morning after moving her in, we had brunch over at the Jumping Bean. Here are the photos:

Sad day in Pilsen. This house was a real cultural landmark.
When I came out to my car this morning, I noticed some smoke coming out of the eaves. Took about a minute for me to realize that it wasn’t just a smoky fireplace. Called 911, pounded on the doors & windows, then sat back & watched it go up.
Turned out nobody was home except for the dog, Gizmo. The firemen pulled her out of the basement after I left. She was in pretty bad shape, but alive.
