Today Right Media announced they were shutting down Direct Media Exchange. The reason I bring this up is because for nearly four years I worked on the team that built DMX.

When I started the month I knew writing one blog post everyday for an entire month would be a challenge. My previous average was about one post a month. Before the month began I made a list of topics I could cover each evening. There were only a few topics I didn’t get to that [ READ MORE ]

I do not know the full history, but I have pieced together that Grimaldi’s was started by nephew of the man that started Patsy’s Pizzeria. [ READ MORE ]
We had the most awful churros ever today. The day started off with a trip to the dog park and then we took off for Battery Park to go see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We didn’t get in line for the ferry until about noon and as the line conveniently passed a cart [ READ MORE ]

I downloaded Google’s Chrome OS today and tried it out using VMWare Fusion. I wasn’t anticipating much, but what I saw didn’t come close to meeting my expectations. From what I had read, I knew it was just an operating system with a browser, but I figured that meant there was something else built in [ READ MORE ]
Seth, Rachel’s oldest brother, is in town for the week. He arrived this afternoon and we just finished planning our weeklong adventure. I am working Monday through Wednesday, so will only be able to join in the evening activities, but am still quite excited for what we have planned. On Monday Rachel and Seth are going [ READ MORE ]
