Echoing my wife

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I wanted to add my whole-hearted agreement with my wife’s post from this evening. Coming home tonight to discover just how awful things are, and how much of what I visited last summer is gone, really puts the stress of starting a new job in perspective, doesn’t it?

It’s nice to know that I’m now working in an office that is already planning and mobilizing to raise money for hurricane relief. There’s something to be said for that. If you’re interested, Angela has links to places where you can help.

  • Not to be confused with Noogie

    I got an email over the weekend from Jacob Rheuban, one of the founders of a new news aggregation site called Newgie. The site promises to be a smarter news portal and RSS feed directory.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    So now that Angela has switched over to using the Mac as her main machine, we’ve discovered a couple of freeware programs she had loaded on her PC that she’d like to find replacements for. Namely a nice freeware Antivirus and non-command line FTP program! Having never used a Mac as my main machine I’m…
