It's a month past due so here is my obligatory "I changed my job" post. Over the last nearly 8 years at Comcast as part of the 'Online' group and later as founding member of mighty Comcast Interactive Media I've made many business connections, met a number of excellent peers and forged a few relationships …

This weekend I attended a gallery opening of an exhibition called '50 Americans' featuring the work of Robert Mapplethorpe. Usually I have to spend the first few minutes or an Art exhibition reading the background to understand the story that the gallery is telling through the art. This one was different. Rather then …

I went researching to Chevy Volt to find some facts to offset my calculator below. I did get lots of feedback about people thinking that price is not the only factor here. So when I went to chevy to look at 'affordability' I found this. Check the URL [caption id="attachment_229" align="aligncenter" …

I've been car shopping lately and thinking about what mileage I need in the new vehicle. The cars that I like and are more fun to drive hover just under 30mpg while the 35+ models tend to be a bit mushy on the gas (or tiny) Today I came across this: http://www.comcast.net/articles/finance/20090811/US.GM.Volt.Mileage/ …

Taking of Pelham 123 on Fancast! I went looking for the trailer of the original Pelham 123 and was plesantly surprised to find the full lenght movie on Fancast!

I don't know why it didn't do so well at the box office, I thought that it had more emotional impact then any recent spy type movies I've seen. The action sequences were more of a desperate …

We went to Table 31 at the base of the Comcast center for dinner tonight. It was an excellent restaurant week menu. Most of the places doing restaurant week push the up-sell pretty hard but this was an exception. They had the all inclusive $35 menu on the table. Even better they had a selection of wines under $50 that …

My girlfriend's mom bought her one of those inexpensive 'wireless' notebook mouses. It is not even bluetooth enabled, it requires a USB adapter. I used it over the weekend and found it much better then my hip Apple mouse. Although I can't squeeze it ( www.apple.com/mightymouse/ ) it is much easier to use. The tilt …

Arpit led another session about how and when to use Flash in an Ajax world. One of the attendees was a Microsoft Silverlight manager and was a solid hour of dispelling myths about RIA in general. There is still a large population that thinks Flash/Silverlight are bad for SEO and not enough people know of Adobe's recent …
