Jason Kottke posted a list of online games that are sure to keep you busy (and amused) over the holidays.
Addictive Little Online Games
I can vouch for ‘Throw Paper!’ and ‘Motherload’.  I haven’t played many of the others but there’s probably some other gems in there as well.
Check it out if you feel like wasting some [...]

I’ve had an mp3 for years now but never really got into podcasts. I listened to Adam Curry’s show and The Java Posse occasionally but nothing much beyond that.
I blogged a few days back about getting an iPod (to replace my defective Creative Zen Micro) and have since found myself digging a bit deeper [...]

Got a couple new pieces of technology for Christmas this year.

4GB 2nd Generation iPod Nano - Replaces my on-again off-again Creative Zen Micro.  The Zen was working last week but it seems to be particularly flaky after fixing the headphone connector.  After using the iPod for a day or two, there’s a reason why Apple [...]

I’ve already got the Plasma TV (and La-z Boy recliner) so I’m covered on that front.  I did buy a Game Cube at it’s launch but [...]

A couple weeks ago I organized our first hack day which proved to be extremely well received by everyone involved.
The event was loosely based on what Yahoo! has been doing for awhile now but our developers didn’t really start until 8 or 9 in the morning and we cut coding off at 4 in the [...]
