Back in Atlanta, I used Wachovia. I don’t have a particularly strong opinion of their service–I’m a pretty invisible customer. Most of my money goes in via direct deposit. I use ATMs every now and then, but mostly just get cash back on groceries/whatever. In other words, I don’t ask a […]

We’re thinking about doing some video tutorials for work, and one of the bosses sent me a link to something that we might use: Screencast-O-Matic. The name’s pretty goofy, but it seems like it could also have some nifty applications for machinima–eventually. Looking at the demo WoW videos, the framerate seems pretty low. […]

So, after pointing me to this link a couple of days ago, Diana and I (along with our friend Autumn and one of her co-workers) decided to give crabbing a shot. We borrowed some crab nets from her uncle and had some fun in a fisherman’s warehouse (bait-cages, new ropes, fancy harnesses that we […]

The problem with waking up at 7:40 every day (the girlfriend’s alarm time… I would set it for 8:45) is that you tend to wake up at that same time on the weekends. Up, now, and no point going back to sleep, I thought I might as well reflect on my first week in […]

Today’s been interesting from an IDE point of view. After doing a little research, I saw lots of references to how to set up Eclipse to compile a Flex project–but only one for NetBeans. Not having either one installed on my work machine, I went with Eclipse. I like it okay, but […]

Team Trivia (under a couple of different “brand names” and rulesets) was one of my favorite Atlanta past-times. Regardless of the specific type, all of the ones I played in Atlanta had a few similarities:
Play was broken up into rounds of 3/4/5 questions.
You’ve got one song to answer each question.
You get the categories at […]

Not that I’ve had a lot (or even three) of them, but first days seem to be completely useless in determining what your eventual “work-life” will be. Today, for example, I got in at 9:00…shook hands with the new boss (who only hung around for a few hours before taking off to play with […]

The last few weeks have been quite a whirlwind. I finished grad school (MS in Digital Media from Georgia Tech), packed everything I could fit into my car, and drove cross-country–the only minor hiccup being a speeding ticket for going 10 (10!) over in Oklahoma. The last week or so in Atlanta and […]
