I’m not sure how this ghost-town blog has survived on WordPress version 1.2 for years. I’ve only occasionally had to delete some spam comments.

I’m a big NetFlix fan, and this is great. I’ve been curious about the algorithms behind my rental queue, but never enough so take it as far as this guy has.
We had a record setting snow storm recently! This picture of my antenna doesn’t show the peak depth of snow we received, but I still had a fully functional connection even though the snow had reduced my signal level by about half.
The company I work for has finally released a product! We do some pretty slick stuff taking PC based documents down to a Palm or Pocket PC device. The last half-year has been pretty grueling, and I’m happy to be at the end of this project.
