My parents gave us a MiniDV camera for Christmas last year in preparation for the baby. I did my part by switching to Apple’s Mac computing platform and have used Apple’s included iLife suite to create a stream of Maple-related DVD releases for friends and family around the globe.
I shoot a lot of [...]

Overheard in the employee cafeteria:
“I’m so beyond caring. I almost negative care. I like to see the wheels fall off, just to see which way the bus rolls over each time.”
“It sucks that the only interesting thing about our careers right now, well, at least mine, is the spectacular disaster everywhere.”
“Oh [...]
