Here’s a sweet infogram that shows a simplified version of how America’s interstate system is put together. I love stuff like this.

Switching Video Hosts
2007-12-14 – 22:49
All videos on this site were hosted with Brightcove. Alas, they are discontinuing their personal video service to focus on their commercial platform. So I am in the process of moving all my videos over to Vimeo. They limit the number of bytes you can upload per week, so it may take me a bit [...]
*@#%^ Snow!!
2007-12-13 – 19:25
Well that was fun. I left work today at 2:30, about an hour after it started snowing. A mere three hours later I got home. Let’s see, my commute is 12.5 miles, so I averaged about 4 miles an hour. The best part was when my wipers got so clogged with snow they quit working, [...]
Intel and Microsoft are Big Meanies
2007-11-27 – 19:46
Nicholas Negroponte is doing a Good Thing. He is trying to make a really cheap laptop available to children in developing countries, so that they can get a better education. Negroponte’s project is called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), and the XO laptop has some really cool, easy to use features. But now Intel has [...]
Hope for Clean Power
2007-11-25 – 17:57
I was really excited yesterday to read Nanosolar’s Breakthrough - Solar Now Cheaper than Coal. It seems to me that solar power is the only way out of the energy crisis; all other alternative technologies slurp up energy being used for other things. With the climate change we are already undergoing, do we really want [...]
Conferencing in the West
2007-08-15 – 02:03
Ahoy! This week I am in the fine city of Seattle, learning all about Flex technology. I flew out on Sunday, experiencing the fine service offered by US Airways. My favorite part was when I lowered my tray table, to find an advertisement by Ford Motor Co. asking “Not enough leg room? Try a new [...]
The End of Summer Draws Nigh
2006-08-24 – 06:45
And what a summer! Let’s see, I worked a lot. And the wife worked a lot, as usual. And we worked on the kitchen, making substantial progress. Got the painting done, and the new shelf put in, and the crown moulding. More on that when it’s done. We went on the MathWorks summer outing in [...]
Kate’s Wedding
2006-06-16 – 08:13
Blossom’s friend Kate, whom she met in the graduate school down in Georgia, got married. We drove over to Binghamton NY on Saturday for the ceremony and reception, which was quite nice. Got up Sunday and rolled home, after a filling yet suspect breakfast at the local Friendly’s.
The MathWorks
2006-01-09 – 05:29
Today I embark on an exiting new adventure in my world of work. I have terminated by employment with Kronos Incorporated, and accepted a position with The MathWorks. The MathWorks is a software company that makes, uh, math software. I will be a Sr. Usability Specialist, which means that I will do the same kind [...]
Holiday 2005
2005-12-28 – 07:55
Ah the holidays. Time for family to congregate, laugh and bicker. The wife and I flew out to the west coast to visit my family. First stop Santa Rosa, CA, where my mother hosted us for a day or 3. We feasted and shopped, and took a nice drive out into wine country on a [...]
