…thankfully, my Dad proved this to be not 100% accurate. He passed away quietly, surrounded by his family. I was able to spend several hours with him, closing up shop, so to speak, before he went. The earth is a darker place without you, Dad – Read More...

Head of a King, Amenhotep II (?)

Posted Monday, November 24, 2003 12:42 PM by Shawn L. Morrissey
This is a great RSS feed . We geeks can now impress our black mock-turtleneck-wearin’, Steve Jobs wannabee artsy-fartsy friends with our insightful understanding of the artwork found in the Louvre. Oh, and apparently it’s pronounced Loove, Read More...

Someone’s going to figure this out soon, and for the sake of the industry, I hope someone jumps on it before those geniuses over at Amazon do. To be most successful, it’s going to take the cooperation of several competitors, which means it’s Read More...

Update: PDC wasn't the "Blogging PDC" that I hoped for

Posted Tuesday, November 04, 2003 10:08 AM by Shawn L. Morrissey
