May 2007 Archives

With a recent influx in requests for estimates coming from my site over the last few weeks, I decided it time to change formats a bit. In late November, I accepted a full-time position as senior Web designer with Juice Interactive in Chicago. I’d like to, for the time being, dedicate my professional efforts solely to Juice, and am therefore currently not accepting any freelance work (and will most likely not be for the remainder of 2007). Please contact Juice if you’re interested in working with me. We’ve got a great (and still quaint), specialized team of individuals, affording each of us the opportunity to focus on our respective areas of expertise. It’s still the same quality work … but now instead of spending my nights balancing the books and worrying about taxes and billing, I can focus solely on what I know and do best (and maybe get a couple hours of sleep every now and then).

That said, expect a bit of a change around here. I intend to post more frequently and more personal content going forward (not having to take care of the billing off the clock will hopefully give me a chance to get out and enjoy the city a little more). So, in short, I’m looking forward to the change in formats for the site and my life.

Last Monday, the 7th, some friends and I had the opportunity to check out “The Cornelius Group ‘Sensuous Synchronized Show,’” and the name’s pretty much spot-on … it was almost exactly what I was anticipating (which isn’t a bad thing at all), probably even a little better. The closest thing I can think of comparing it to would maybe be what I imagine a Velvet Underground show at Warhol’s Factory might have been like – except Lou Reed’s a malfunctioning robot covering Mr. Bungle covering Drug Me … and that my friend is why I don’t write reviews for Rolling Stone. Pitchfork’s got some good pictures up that are almost as bright and ridiculous as I remember the show being.

Anyway, if you haven’t had a chance to check out the show, and you’re not in Europe, I think you’re officially out of luck for the time being. So, here’s a clip that maybe almost comes close to capturing the overwhelmingness of the whole crazy effing show.
