My Blog

Welcome to my new blog site. You are reading the very first post!

Ok--it's true. For an IT guy, I've been a little slow to jump on the blog (web + log) bandwagon. Two years ago, or 2 ya*, I built a site using WordPress. It never made it to print.

This time around, I opted to go with Google's Blogger service to create my online thoughtspace. Since the inception of the Internet giant's Gmail service, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have had me hanging by the threads of their shirttails. It's difficult for the average techie to stay on top of all the innovative products rolling out of Mountain View, CA--and using Blogger as the backbone of my site is mainly a way for me to further explore Google technology. I will incorporate a few other bits of Google stuff into my blog as well. GoogleCalendar, for instance, is implemented in monthly agenda form on my blog's sidebar.

Check it out.

I enjoyed reading your blog, Seth. It is the first one I have read. I know there are many from gourmet cooks that I would enjoy. Yesterday I read a great article in the Washinton Post about Google's 11 "cafeterias" built on the actual site where their business is based. They are building 5 more cafeterias. The chefs are well-known and skilled. The food is very gourmet. They spend $10 per employee per lunch and order from any of their cafeterias. They believe that they save time because no-one leaves the business site, and people are well fed. The weight that people gain working there is jokingly called the "Google 15".

An excellent perk for Google employees!!! I dare say I wouldn't mind starting out each day knowing that a gourmet meal was calling my name. Here's to mindful Corporate Culture...

I'm actually GLAD to finally have some colder weather so that I can get out and do some snowboarding and XC skiing!

Of frozen pipes--does that mean there are also frozen floating mice in the cistern?

Go SU--I bet you & Charlie both were sweating bullets of angst as the Orange's lead was slipping away yet again. At least it turned out out right for Boeheim, if not for the deer.

Will you be grilling venison patties for the BIG SHOW tomorrow night?
