At my new job at MIT, I floated the idea of better linking together OpenCourseWares (OCWs) that would build on some of the work that we did at COSL, along with an opportunity in the National Science Foundation NSDL Program. OpenCourseWares have been very good at coming together to meet and talk about their experiences… Continue Reading Best proposal I never submitted…

Ok, so this is all about customer service and what a company should do. Back in 2002 or 2003 I purchased 3 Sequel bookcases from RoomAndBoard.com. When I moved to Logan from Oakland, one of the shelf pegs was lost. I really should have called Room and Board then, but somehow managed to not do… Continue Reading I love Room and Board (Furniture)
…I didn’t have to go anywhere on Sunday, so my GPS sat turned off in my car. Boy was it confused when I got in the car to drive to work on Monday. I decided to take a slightly different route (less pot-holes and bumps) but more out of the way. You woulda thought I… Continue Reading It musta been Monday…

For the most part, I don’t mind posting my content on the web and even licensing it openly, I’d just like to… Continue Reading The downside of Web 2.0

I have an Apple MacBook Pro that I like to use while sitting on my sofa in front of the TV. Any of you that have a modern laptop, let alone any… Continue Reading My favorite computer accessory!
For those of you that have a GPS in your car you’ll understand this post. So, where is my GPS going to take me today? I bought my GPS to help drive across the country and also navigate Boston. Boston–everything I’ve always heard is don’t drive in Boston, never, ever. Hrm. I live here now,… Continue Reading Where shall we go today? Or, Brandon’s experiences with his GPS
I went to a local mall (the Burlington Mall) on Saturday. I was really surprised to see just how busy it was. The parking lot, from what I saw while parking and what I saw driving past on the highway, seemed to be completely full. Wait, what day is it? Christmas? No…it’s March. Really, the… Continue Reading Recession? What Recession?
