Last winter I professed my love for the CTA Bus Tracker application on my iPhone. Using this app saved me a lot of time standing outside waiting for the bus in the freezing cold! Well, this weekend the CTA debuted Train Tracker. The program is in beta right now and I haven’t really had a chance to test it out yet, but I have high, high hopes!
This week I was in New York working on a new account I’ve been assigned to, Bloomberg Sports. Their office is located in Midtown East. It is a crazy busy building, a big corporate office, but very modern and contemporary. It reminded me of Google a bit in the way that they have all the free snacks and drinks you can think of. And they are very green and make as much as they can compostable. The sports area has big flat screen TVs that play ESPN all of the time. People randomly shout out “So and So was taken by fill-in-the-blank MLB team.” Interesting. I’m not a huge baseball fan, but sports is a really cool account to be on. I am learning a lot on this project so far and am looking forward to my work in the upcoming weeks. BTW, I’m working on designing iPhone portion of our project, so that is fun.
The office is located a block south of Bloomingdale’s. While I didn’t really have time to shop, I did pause for a moment to look at their holiday windows and to take this short video.
You can almost hear the music playing over the taxi cab horns. Oh, New York.
While I was out there I also managed to get a really horrible photo taken for my security badge. I don’t think the camera at the security desk knows how to take a good photo. Everyone’s photo is pretty horrible. They only have to wear it around their neck every second of every working day. Pretty much you’re wearing the worst representation of yourself.
My photo makes me look like I have a Hollywood Bumpit or that I’m doing a Snooki impersonation! I looked in the mirror right after this photo and I DID NOT look like this in real life!

A couple months ago I had lunch with James and he told me an idea he had for a new iPhone case. I thought it was a great idea and told him so. He got the iPhone case made and then showed it to me and I liked it so much, he made another and was kind enough to give it to me! I love it! Thanks so much, James! We should have lunch more often!
I downloaded this iPhone application a while back and have been enjoying it. You pick a year and it plays the top 100 songs of that year.
So you can listen to songs from your birth year..
… or songs you enjoyed in high school.
So fun! The app is available for free right now, so get on it!
Several weeks ago I had to go to see the eye doctor. To check one of my eyes out better, they had to dilate it. The feeling was really weird and when you looked at me, one of my pupils was realllllllly large and one was not, which made me look freaky. I tried to take a photo, but you can’t see. Thought I’d share anyway.
