I was jack’s online journal
Back on June 25th, 2000 I posted my first entry over at LiveJournal. 10 years, 2,778 entries, and 6,347 comments later I’ve decided that it is time to move on.
Realistically, between sites like twitter, flickr, and my bookmarks over at delicious pinboard I simply don’t end up posting to my LJ as much anymore. LJ used to really appeal to me due to ( Read more... ) -
Labeling Insanity in the Fenway Bleachers
The way rows are labeled at Fenway Park makes no sense. Every game I attend in the bleachers, the first few innings are constantly interrupted by people who either mis-read the row number when they sat down and now need to move when the proper occupants arrive, or by people who think they are working their way down to their seat and find people ( Read more... ) -

My Movies of 2010
Here’s the list of movies I saw in 2010… I saw 147 movies this year, exactly as many as the year before. As I have done the past few years, my “Best of 2010″ list will probably come closer to the Academy Awards, so I have the opportunity to see some of the well-regarded films of the year that I missed.
As I mentioned last year, in 2010 I gathered ( Read more... ) -
My Backup Strategy
I recently read an article entitled Mac Software for Advanced OS X Users over at AppStorm, and one of the tools it tipped me off to was SMARTReporter. SMART stands for “Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology”, and it is a monitoring technology built into most hard disks. SMARTReporter asks the drive for it’s status every once in ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in Interconnection
Back in February I ordered a pair of 15 foot 1/4″ cables from Monoprice to use for the radio programme as well as recording my guitar. When I opened the box, the cables seemed a bit bulky, but I didn’t put much thought into them. I used them for several weeks, bunching up the slack underneath the coffee table. One night, after the radio show was ( Read more... ) -
grahams’ completely normal radio programme goes public!
For a bit more than 2 years I’ve been doing a mostly-weekly streaming internet radio show called “grahams’ completely normal radio programme“. Since I kept it private amongst a small group of friends, while you may have heard me mention it on occasion, you most likely haven’t listened to it. Starting this Monday at 10pm EDT, I’m taking the show ( Read more... ) -
Review: iPad
We’ve had a few iPads at work since April, and one of them is presently assigned to me as I optimize our web viewer for the WiFi iPad and iPhone. While I’ve taken it home a few times to give it a whirl, our Memorial Day trip to Michigan was my first real serious time using it. I decided to bring it with me instead of my laptop, just to see what it ( Read more... ) -
HOWTO: Surviving IFFBoston
The Independent Film Festival of Boston is one of the reasons I love living in Boston. In my opinion, if you are a film fan and you live in Boston, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't go all-in on the festival. This year, despite seeing a personal-record 20 films in 8 days, I found myself much less wiped out than previous years. This ( Read more... )
