and I visited Champaign Wednesday and Thursday this week to look at houses. It’s about as small as I thought it would be, but I was happy to see that the area has a bit more going on than I expected. Between community activies and gaming, I should be able to fill my time easily.…
Have Projector, Will Travel!
Yoinked from the Creative Generalist… http://www.mobmov.org/ [MobMov is] a grassroots movement aimed at bringing back the forgotten joy of the great American drive-in. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, what used to be a dark and decrepit warehouse wall springs to life with the sublime sights and sounds of a big screen movie. Best…
Sent off my first resume…
I sent off my first resume today for a job in Champaign. It’s for a position at Wolfram Research. They make a software product called Mathematica which is mostly used by scientists. The odd thing about Wolfram is that they don’t necessarily advertise specific openings. You fill out a web form and answer some very…
Google Pages…
OK. I have to admit I was ready not to like Google Pages. Every other web-based page editor I have used sucked ass and the output was generally bad HTML. Oh… and none of them used CSS… EVER. Basically, the state of web-based HTML editors was crap. That is until Google Pages. That’s one spicy…

Windows on Mac!!!
After some enterprising hackers did the job the other day, Apple is unveiling an option that will allow people to install Windows on their Intel-based Macintoshes. Now you can have a computer with both Windows and Macintosh OSes running natively on the machine. I’m 95% sure this is one of the signs of Ragnarok! http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060405-6524.html…
V for Vendetta!
I liked it. ’nuff said. Considering that I was one of those precious few geeks that collected the mini-series back in the day… and I certainly have the potential of being one of those geeks that sees the movie and picks it apart… it certainly bodes well for the movie that I can say with…
