This weekend, Jack installed Ubuntu for netbooks onto my Eee PC; it turns out, running Windows on 4GB of memory is not the most efficient option. I had been hesitant to make the change; I’m not the computer-savvy half of our team, after all, and “Linux” was one of those terms that had always been […]

I was about to start this post with a comment about how quickly Friday sneaked up on us; then I realized that that’s becoming a bit of theme, and that’s pretty boring. Perhaps we just need to adjust to the busy-ness of business, and reevaluate our norm. On the plus side, it’s Friday! We’re staying […]
Disclaimer: some may argue that this post has nothing whatsover to do with UJCreative’s typical interests in art, design and general creativity. That’s a fair claim to make. But, the ladies with whom I dined earlier this week insisted on the recipe, and really, who doesn’t love some pictures of tasty, tasty bread? Not me, that’s for […]
This weekend, we finally made our way to New York to see Doug and Mike Starn’s Big Bambú exhibit at the Met. It was delightful.
Oh, hello Friday. You caught be by surprise there, totally snuck up on me.

So, for this Friday, it seemed only fitting […]

Globes, chairs, books, tables, lamps, […]
The living room of our rental was afflicted with a space lamp. Really, I assume the light fixture (which we’ve had it out for from the get-go) was from the early 90’s, and not the future, but it was difficult to tell the difference. Aside from being oddly shaped, it cast a terrible, harsh light from […]
It took me nearly the entirety of the day to a) realize that it’s Friday the 13th, and b) choose only three things we’re fancying. Jack and I have been fans of the work of local artist Dorothea van Camp since we first happened across her amazingly intricate screenprints during a Fort Point Open Studios event […]
But you see, therein lies the rub – I am that cyclist. I am the cyclist who will unapologetically take the lane when it is safer for me to do so. I am the cyclist that will not “get on the sidewalk”, because it is illegal for me to ride there. I am the cyclist […]
