  • GeekBrief TV - gadget news briefs
  • Geek News Central - gadget news & commentary
  • French Maid TV - a hilarious series of How-To videos

I’ve also discovered some great stuff on iTuneU, like UC/Berkeley’s new course on the history of information.

Summer is Over

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Wow!  I can’t believe it is September is almost over, and autumn is already here.  This has been one heck of a summer.  On October 8th, I will be starting my new position with The Raymond Corporation headquarters in Greene, New York.

When I accepted the job offer, I went out and bought an iPhone.  I spent most of September in Canada, waiting for my work visa to be approved.  Photos from the trip to Canada can be viewed in the following galleries:

  • Trip To Greene - From Florence, South Carolina to Greene, crossing into Canada at Kingston, Ontario, then to Brantford.

  • Port Bruce - Labour Day weekend, at Port Bruce

  • Port Dover - Labour Day weekend, at Port Dover (lots of boats!)

  • Go Train 2007 - Trip to the World’s Biggest Bookstore in Toronto on the GO train
