June 24, 2008

We’ve been back from SXSW for two weeks now and haven’t had a chance to post anything about the week in Austin. We had a great time this year, much due to the fact that many of our ITP friends joined in the fun this year so it was a nice reunion of some of [...]

Nau in Chicago: an interactive, sustainable, apparel store

September 16, 2007

I had heard about Nau before we went to Chicago and was happy when we happened to stumble upon it while walking around. The quick breakdown is that sustainability and responsibility (5% of all purchases goes to a variety of charities) runs through their whole business and they use technology (very well) to support that.

Anniversary weekend in Chicago

September 16, 2007

Karen and I had our first anniversary last weekend (I know you’ve all got 9/9 all up in your file-o-faxes) and we decided for no particular reason that it would be fun to head out to Chicago for the weekend. She’d been there before but it was my first time, which is interesting as I [...]
