Yeah, so yesterday I took my first business-related trip. That is, it was the first travelling I’d done where my employer paid.
In all it was pretty uneventful. I flew up to Toronto for a 2-hour meeting, and came home to Boston later that day. Because I’ll likely need to return, I’m jotting this down […]

I like how del.icio.us offers you the possibility of combining tags in your url. You can use this feature to search del.icio.us for really customized filtered results.
For example: Let’s say I was interested in computer generated art. Going to the URL:
http://del.icio.us/tag/art+technology

Example: I like art and science and webdesign.
Jonathan’s original script called for an inline image (which I didn’t like) so […]

Filled with eloquent explanations and accessible analogies of high-concept physics, the […]

Yesterday I discovered what will likely become my new favorite lunch spot: The Channel Cafe in the Fort Point Channel area of Boston.
Advantages:
five minute walk from my work
in-house art gallery
cozy environment with a couch
they have a bar (okay, maybe for after-work)
light, simple-but-good cafe fare
Yesterday I had the split pea […]

Mmm… yummy.
Del.icio.us has a new “experimental” posting bookmarklet that recommends tags to use based on link content, and lets you easily pick from your existing tags. Del.icio.us users can find it here
Call me old fashioned, but up until today I’ve been quite alright with marking up website using good ol’ HTML. But since everyone’s doing it, and it comes with Wordpress, I figured I’d give Daring Fireball’s Markdown a try.
Here’s what it is: a humane text generator .
Instead of typing a href and other HTML […]
The more I watch Law and Order the more I recognize actors from HBO’s Oz.
Here’s a list of common actors:
Christopher Meloni played Chris Keller on “OZ” and Elliot Stabler on “Law and Order: SVU.”
Lauren Velez played Dr. Gloria Nathan on “OZ” and Stephanie Jameau on “Law and Order: SVU.” […]
Just noticed today that Tiddlywiki has a new verison out. It’s probably been out for a while now, but it’s wicked cool, nonetheless.
I kinda wish I had a use for it, because it’s just so neat…
