Ten Years in My Life: Where I’ve Lived
On Saturday, 24th October 1998, I flew from Glasgow to Boston, with little more than a suitcase of clothes and a credit card with a decently high limit.
It's now 24th October 2008. Ten years have gone by. Time for little personal retrospection. How have I spent these ten years?

Android in Harvard Square
If you’re interested in developing for Google’s new cellphone platform, there’s a developer day in Cambridge in a couple of weeks. Wonder if the iPhone SDK will be out by then too? Would be interesting to compare-and-contrast.

“Live Poultry Fresh Killed”
The sign outside Mayflower Poultry Co. in Cambridge. I finally got around to buying one of their t-shirts today, which I look forward to wearing around my vegetarian chums.

geeksinboston.com planning
Today at DevHouseBoston2, Shimon Rura, Jeff Potter and myself started work on creating a local geek-event aggregator/notifier webapp.
With a design sensibility somewhere between Craigslist and Upcoming, it should be live in the next couple of weeks.

…for some value of left
Road testing my new GPS in Cambridge gave this rather bizarre instruction (it's telling me to take a "left on Magazine St", but the illustration is actually taking a right onto Massachusetts Ave).
Proof that the roads of New England are too much for even the smartest of technology to deal with.

WebInno10 Tuesday 7:12 pm 1/30/07 Cambridge, Massachusetts
The tenth Web Innovators Group meetup. By my guesstimate, there were well over 200 people there this evening, a far cry from the 60 or so crammed into the back room at Tommy Doyle's the first time I went.

My drive home from work -- Geotagged on Flickr
With little regard for public safety, I snapped a bunch of shots with my cellphone on my way home from work, which are lovingly (and automagically) placed along my route via the brilliance of Zonetag and Flickr.
