I’ve been paired up with

I’ve been paired up with Charles from Six Different Ways for this round of Blogger Insider. The last two times, I’ve been paired up with Bloggy Heavyweights. Now, I just have to come up with some questions. Any ideas? What would you ask yourself if you were being interviewed?

It’s Official

It’s been announced by everyone, and the date’s been set. I’m moving to my new department on April 8th, leaving behind only three projects. The rest are coming with me, which is what makes this so odd. First, I didn’t go looking for the job – it came to me. Second, I’m going to a […]

There’s an excellent article on

There’s an excellent article on Mozilla over at Salon. As a fanatical Mozilla user since the earliest preview releases (I didn’t start using is as my default browser until it got stable enough around .9.2), I have to say that I wouldn’t suggest using anything else. I love the e-mail client, the bookmarking system (although […]

Killer Apps

There are things I have today that I don’t remember living without. I remember the days before e-mail, but do I think I could live without it now? Nope, not for a single day. I’d go crazy. My favorite application, that I don’t think I could live with if it disappeared has got to be […]

Next stop, flying cars!!

How to get your geek to love you

The title is different depending on the company (or even within the same company). Here, they used to be called project managers, and now they’re producers. The name’s been changed about ten […]

Into the fray

I have a big meeting in fifteen minutes where I have to defend a whole platform against a roomful of people. I doubt the folks who write AOLserver will even show up, which will leave me all alone to defend it. I have papers and figures and drawings, and it probably won’t matter. They’ll make […]

It’s crack, but it could be so much more addictive

I’m addicted to Civ3. I was addicted to Civ2 and still played it regularly until Civ3 came out. The game is addictive, and since I’ve been sick and alone in the house, I’ve played a lot. Civ3 is a great update of the previous game, but it’s missing a lot of the stuff that made […]
