I'm a fan of cruises. They're a pretty cost effective way of going on vacation and seeing new places. The excursions can add up fast though

Off topic. Just wanted to say I genuinely enjoy your articles Alan. You and Whitson constantly put out quality work. Keep it up!

Good call, I was just trying it wondering why it wasn't working

yup. I think the only difference is more apps being able to cast with Chromecast. And the Chrome tab mirroring

Yup, I'm a revue owner too. I honestly still love it. I also have a mac mini connected to my tv. So while I'm super tempted to get one of these, I just can't justify it at all. And the fact that it won't work with the revue makes it a bit easier for me to pass on it.

I had a friend fall for one of those Nigerian 419 scams a couple of years ago. Got him for about $500.

While on the topic of raises, I've been thinking about bringing the subject up with my boss. There has been some restructuring, and now a lot of my work overlaps with another role. The other role however has a revenue sharing component built into the compensation. I'm satisfied with my salary for the time being,…

I'm a nerd that also loves BBT. The only thing that has annoyed me is that as the seasons progress, Sheldon does a lot of things that would seem contrary to what his character would do. But other than that, I watch it anytime its on.

Worked out pretty well actually. I got my job through the graduate program after working on a project for my current company. Couldn't really ask for more. Right now I'm on track to be done paying in 9 years
