Back to Boston

Tue 24 Jan 2006 1:13pm

I’m back in Boston and just finished my first class of the semester. It wasn’t that bad! I’m actually really looking forward to the semester, since my schedule is a lot more interesting than usual. Last semester was mostly technical classes for my major. I enjoyed it, but I think I got a little burnt […]

iStock V8: The Future is Here!

Mon 9 Jan 2006 2:20am

It’s been a long time in coming, but the new version (and complete redesign) of iStockphoto is here! For anybody who doesn’t know, iStock is where I sell some of my digital photography. iStock is the best of the new micro payment-style stock photo sites, so forget paying hundreds of dollars for a rights-managed license […]

Not Pron - Coolest Web Puzzle Ever

Wed 4 Jan 2006 12:53am

I’ve just discovered what is possibly the coolest web puzzle ever. You thought that thing for the Da Vinci Code was cool? Yeah right. I’ll admit that I’m not exactly a connoisseur of web puzzles/riddles, but Not Pron has to be one of the coolest experiences that I’ve ever come across. I’m up to level […]
