My first job, working as a groundskeeper at a college in St. Paul.

Later I worked at a local hardware store. Once again, there is a baseball field and college in the vicinity.

This is in Bloomington, MN near the Mall of America. Note the recurring theme of yet another baseball field at the top of the picture.

Here is a fancy suburban Minneapolis office park. I worked at the building on the left, then ended up working at the building on the right side of the street several years later.

This interesting shape is at an office park near the Oakland airport in Alameda, CA. It was right near the water, which explains the weird brown stuff and water in the bottom left. Another recurring theme: a football field, which is the practice facility of the Oakland Raiders.

Embarcadero Center on the water’s edge of downtown San Francisco.

A warehouse space in Minneapolis on the edge of downtown. Not quite the Warehouse District, but close enough.

I worked at the fairly nondescript building at the end of this T-intersection in Edina, MN. The weirdly shaped building is a library and government center, but is entirely less exciting architecturally than the shape suggests.

In St. Louis Park, MN, I worked in the lower of the two buildings with the wedges on top and the white parking ramps to the left. Further to the left was a large pharmaceuticals distribution warehouse and abandoned tennis courts.

This is as far away as I ever worked from my house. This was in Eden Prairie, MN, and across the street from yet another professional football team’s (Minnesota Vikings) practice facility.

This was in St. Paul, MN where I worked in the fairly simple square block in the center. I actually started in the building right below it, but it was torn down and an expansion of about the same size was built and attached to the existing square building. While the newer building was being built, I worked in the tall building on the right, which is the Wells Fargo Tower. You can actually even see my parking spot to the left of my building!

This is in Redmond, WA, as part of the largest and most well-known campus in Redmond. I work in the H-shaped building (#25 out of hundreds, none of which are more than a few stories high, probably due to some city codes put in place to not block rich people’s views) in the north central area of the picture.

Remember how I said I was busy at work with election stuff? Here’s something for you: Minnesota Public Radio is providing live, customizable election-night results for your site. You can customize it to display whatever races you want in whatever order you want, display all or just major parties, and even customize the CSS to make it fit seamlessly into your site.

Remember when I was all gung-ho about posting all the time? Well, something always gets in the way… this time it’s the general election on November 7, and I’m busy building things for work. As you might be able to tell from last election, there’s a bunch of data fetching, moving, and displaying that goes on. I’m working on improving some of these, particularly the Flash apps. There will also be something handy for you all coming out real soon.
