Last week Paul released version 0.5Alpha of the new BLOB Streaming Engine and so I thought I would take some time to see what is new and do a bit more benchmarking. This time around, Paul concentrated on a new method of handling BLOBs. Instead of storing them directly in …
So this morning I came into work with a new voicemail. I thought it was a customer, since it was shaping up to be a busy day, but it ended up being the most hilarious voicemail I have ever gotten. Turns out, some kids decided to call my number at …
I don’t think I have ever watched that many races in one day ever. I watched a total of four races: Formula-1, IndyCar, ChampCar, and some close-wheel racing thing. I think it is prototype racing from what Sergio explained about it. After that, I played Gran Turismo 3 for about …

So today was our first full day here in Irvine, California. It was another sort of laid back day. Slept late and missed breakfast. When we went down to go get Starbucks (they closed at 8pm the night before, huh!?), we ran into Chad, Nancy, and Van in the parking …
