Dara spent a few hours last night compiling and uploading various photos and videos of “our babies” to Facebook and YouTube. There is some great footage to share with you all, so make sure to check out fruits of her labor!

I walked into Borders in Boston at Downtown Crossing last week to pick up a book for work, and I found out that Cal Ripken, Jr. would be doing a signing there today for his new book, Get In The Game. So, I had to go as Cal is my favorite baseball player, and I never had the opportunity to meet him before. I didn’t know what to say to Cal, so I simply said, “I’m a huge fan — thank you,” to which he replied, “You’re welcome.” That’s good enough for me!
The people running the book signing were smart in having Cal switch between book signing and taking photos with people. Instead of me hunched over to get in a photo with Cal at the signing table, I got a good one with him standing up.
Thanks, Cal!
I’m dying for some Exchange ActiveSync functionality on my iPhone. I hate having to manually sync my iPhone to update calendar and contact information. Anyone have an iPhone 2.0 beta license they can spare? :)
For those of you who don’t know, one of my favorite video game series (when I get time to play…which is very little these days) is the Ace Attorney series for the Nintendo DS, also known as Phoenix Wright and/or Apollo Justice. In the series, you play a defense attorney who must search for the truth and get his clients a “not guilty” verdict. It may sound boring, but the characters and writing are phenomenal and the games are a must-play. If you own a Nintendo DS, definitely make sure to pick up Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and thank me later. :)
Anyway, there is a very credible rumor that Capcom will be releasing a prequel to the series where you play as Miles Edgeworth, Phoenix Wright’s prosecutor “nemesis” in the first game. The interesting thing here is not only do we get a game with Miles as the main character, but we get a game where we get to play as the prosecution! It’s a nice change of pace for fans of the series, and I’m curious to see how the game plays out…not just from a gameplay perspective, but also from a story perspective. Characters like Detective Dick Gumshoe will be “back”, and it’ll also be good to learn more backstory on some of my favorite characters.
The only thing that frustrates me about this “announcement” is that the source verifying the rumor is Famitsu magazine in Japan. Famitsu is great, but I can’t really read it! Here’s the 2-page spread covering the story. Can anyone tell me what this says??? (I really wish I hadn’t stopped taking Japanese while at MIT!)
Using the one-click upgrade available on DreamHost, I upgraded this blog to version 2.5 of WordPress. I haven’t had much of a chance to play with it, but it appears to be an improvement in WordPress administration.
