I’ll drink to that

Found this Web site offering a product called Podtender. It’s really just text files with drink recipes, but the glory of it is that they can be put on an iPod. Which is really only handy if you have one. Awesome.

More DN stuff

Ball State getting new email system

Woot.

N

Sorry for the long delay, constant readers. I am going to stop referring to you by that, by the way. I borrowed it from Stephen King, but I noticed the other day that a jackass who writes a column in the DN copped it, too. And he’s a jackass, so I’m not going to use it any more. I’ll come up with something better and original soon.

But the real reason I’m posting is that Chad and I found this game, simply called N You must check it out. Highly addictive. Perfect for office non-work.

To California and back again

Riding on a the cable car in San Francisco.

So for my long-overdue upate, I’m going to tell you about California and why I was there.

I was there for the Society for News Design convention. This year it was in San Jose. Last year the conference was in Washington D.C.

This was my first trip there, and it was a doozie. It started with the long plane ride from Indianapolis to San Jose, via Pheonix.

The conference was OK. I thought the sessions lacked a little bit when compared to last year, but then again there were a lot of sessions I didn’t go to. It was OK, though. I made up for it in professional critiques and contacts and also in personal experiences. The best part was Shawn, Penny and I’s brief trip to San Francisco. We rode the cable car, checked out Fisherman’s Wharf, ate damn fine fried rice in Chinatown, and rode the BART. Good times.
