    I had heard recently that Google had released an API for YouTube. For those not in the know, an API is short for Application Programming Interface. Basically, its a programming hook that would allow me some aspect of control over whatever the API is for. I know, I know. Its still a little confusing. To…

    I came across a link while scanning through my Lifehacker.com RSS feed. This feed is one of my favorites, as I am always interested in efficiency and how to hack my regular behavioral patterns to streamline my daily routines and maximize effectiveness and throughput (thats a mouthful). The title of the article piqued my curiosity,…

    Friday was my twenty seventh birthday. The day was a fairly dismal and depressing day at work, while the evening was a low key time shared with a couple close friends watching a couple DVDs and playing some WiiPlay. Saturday and Sunday would be spent at an Ultimate Frisbee tournament playing four games per day,…

    I returned from Otakon 2007 on Monday. It was a blast as always with some new faces and plenty of familiar faces. I put up a gallery of the photos here. I have to say that I definitely did not take nearly the number of photos I normally take. I’m not sure if its because…

    ‘No rest for the wary’ is right. I’ve been back from the cruise for 16 days and back to work for about 14. I haven’t even had time to update this blog. I have lots of pictures to upload from both the cruise and New Years at the Braintree House. I have a couple of…

    I updated the Wishlist. There’s not much I am desiring at the moment, so I just added a bunch of DVD sets I haven’t gotten around to buying yet. If I think of more, I’ll be sure to add it.

    Since I’ve been back from the convention, I feel like I’ve been playing catch up. When I got back to work I was immediately hit with a highly urgent project that had a 3 work-day turn around. I also had a LOT of post-convention decompression to take care of for Powet.TV. We didn’t get as…

    This is a bit of a rant, but I needed to get it out of my system. There are two types of people in fandoms based around franchises. The first type is the fan. The fan is a member of the fandom who really enjoys the franchise. By that, I mean they are actively engaged…

    Today is my birthday. I am officially 26 years old. Outside of the Nintendo DS from last weekend and the giant bear hug from my roommate (thanks Nat!) this morning, its been fairly uneventful. I’ll be heading back to Braintree this evening for our weekly Uno’s gathering, but I don’t envision that being anything out…
