I’m still definitely happy with our Speakeasy service for DSL and VoIP. I’m looking into possibly setting up a little server at home again and using them for secondary DNS, but that will have to wait until I have some extra geek time. But I wanted to relate a customer service experience that [...]
Being new to a big city like DC, it was nice to see a candidate for public office out pressing the flesh this morning. Linda Cropp was at the Columbia Heights Metro saying hi and handing out flyers with her supporters.
Meet Cropp!
In doing some housecleaning last night, I found a photo that I had forgotten about and it instantly became my new favorite photo of myself. I guess it took a decade or so away from it to bring me back around.
I’m not sure what does it for me — the car, the [...]

Following up on my previous post about Apple open-sourcing Safari, today I read that they have their first non-Apple committer to the code. Fantastic.

If you’re on a Mac, do yourself a favor and check these out. They’re not just geek stuff!
Finally put up my photos from Cape Cod earlier this month, as well as photos from the past weekend in Vegas for Nate’s bachelor party. Good times all around.

I think I’m finally crawling my way out from underneath the digital and meatspace piles I’ve been buried under recently, and in some ways, [...]
I’m super impressed with Speakeasy thus far. We’ve had DSL for a week or so and today we got our VoIP phone setup. It’s a regular phone but it’s hooked into our internet connection so we get free long distance and unlimited calling — kind of like Skype but more phone-ish.

Michelle tells me we now have internet at home again (Speakeasy DSL, by the way — highly recommend so far.) I’ve been basically offline at home since the end of July, so this is a welcome change. I’ll be setting up the wireless tonight.
