Going to Foxborough, Mass!

I know even less about Foxborough than i did Greenbay, before I made that trip, but I’m going there!
My company has 4 offices in the States: Virginia, Albany, Greenbay and Foxborough. I’ve been to all of them but Foxborough.
When I searched for it on Google, I got a bunch of football images, so I’m assuming [...]

The War is Over! (not that one)

And so ends the nearly irrelevant next-gen optical media war:
HD-DVD Death Made Official
This time it was Sony with the inferior system (or at least inferior spec) for the win. Maybe this will do something to lessen the pain of the Beta/VHS war.

Thereafter, the only bump was when the receptionist forgot to mark us as being there, and we sat for 45 minutes, watching person after [...]

Housekeeping

I’ll return to blogging later this week, after I collect some material worth writing about. This week holds a Mac User’s Group meeting and Benjamin’s ear surgery, the successful completion of which will kick us into packing-the-house mode, so there should shortly be some stories worth telling.

- My project, and the larger project which it is a part of, passed the 3rd decision point in the release process this morning. The final phase is regression testing, which I will only be involved in if [...]

Anthem

Sorry about the down-time yesterday, our little site received a right good Slashdotting when my post on my job made it to the front page. For those of you not in the know, Slashdot is one of the top geek news and discussion sites on the Internet. For an article to make it to the [...]

Embracing My Inner Geek: Part 2 - The Job

Hi Slashdot, read this, woulda ya?
Did you ever see that one Friends episode where they make up a game where they test their knowledge of each other? In one of the rounds, the girls are asked what Chandler does for a living, and the answer they come up with is “transponster!” Which of course isn’t [...]

Things You’ll See in Value Village 10 Years From Now…

The other day we found a beautiful little program called Delicious Library, which lets us put a visual face on our expanding collection of digital (and some physical) media. If you haven’t seen it, and you have a Mac, you should definitely check it out.
It got me thinking though, as we used our Firewire camcorder [...]
