XO Cool
Posted in technology on Jan 30th, 2008
Yesterday we got our laptop and I had a chance to play with it a bit last night. Pretty dang cool! It’s not the fastest thing in the world (I think it’s not quite as slow as my TiVo but it’s close) and it certainly has a keyboard made for child-sized hands - [...]
This isn’t a post on how to buy a car online - maybe I’ll write that one later. I need a new car. I’m not a car guy and really don’t enjoy shopping for cars. My wife and I decided on the car we want, the options we want (thankfully this model has limited options [...]
Anyone want to coach the Washington Redskins? According to the AP the Skins have fired Gregg Williams and Al Saunders and promoted Greg Blache and hired Jim Zorn. I can’t be sure but I’m guessing this means Gregg Williams won’t be the next head coach (which seems to be confirmed by Jason La [...]

There’s a new Computerworld article out about Rock Star Coders. Several folks at Viget talked with Mary Brandel, the author of the article, about the concept of rock star coders. Our connection to the “phenomenon” is that Emily used the term in one of our recent creative job postings. Overall the article [...]
As the Skins get ready for a rare playoff game a lot of the media attention has been on the play of backup quarterback Todd Collins. I can see how this is a compelling sorry. He hadn’t started a game in 10 years, blah, blah, blah. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad the Skins have [...]
I could make this a long story but I’ll try to keep it short. It starts off with me buying something from Verizon Wireless so you can guess where this is going.
I’m finally ready to give up on my Treo 700p. I’ve been using a Treo for years now. It seemed so [...]
