One of my good friends from college was recently featured in two design magazines and countless blogs regarding a recent exhibition he did in Chicago. All the press was focused on the lighting he designed using umbrellas, pretty cool stuff. Good work Steve. The magazines are Urbis and IdN. Here are a couple of the blog posts so you can read more about it. Inhabitat Design Sponge (via Rite Me...
Home Hero
I’m becoming somewhat of a design nerd. I like looking at those hip design magazines and admire cool looking products. I happen to pass the fire extinguisher section at Home Depot and this item caught my eye. It’s a fire extinguisher. It must be new they had it on sale and had a nice display set up, I also heard them talk about it on the overhead sound system. I bought it thought...
halloween craft

Since we would only be at the party for an hour and a half, we didn’t want to put a lot of effort and money into a costume. So we headed to the craft store and ten dollars later I had the materials for a pretty...

10 years already?
Had our 10 year high school reunion last saturday. It was nice to see people, many of whom I had not seen or talked to in a long time. Good to see what people are up to these days and who people married. Hopefully we can reconnect with people I’ve lost touch with and maybe make some new friends. The reunion took place at McNalleys which is an Irish Pub about two blocks away from the...
Get to Know a Hero
Lt. Michael Murphy US Navy SEAL will receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, they don’t give those out very easily. Lt. Murphy died in the mountains of Afghanistan in late June of 2005. He was leading a team of three other SEALs deep into enemy territory doing reconnaissance. Taliban forces found them and an intense fire battle ensued. The SEALs were greatly outnumbered but fought on...
