Sorry for the long break. We added a member to our family, and I’ve had more relatives at my house than there are exhibitors registered for MacWorld Boston. But I am back, and glad to be.
This month we’ve happened upon an accidental theme on MacMerc. James (here and here) and I (here) have posted a [...]

Too much of a good thing: this week I won a iPod shuffle 512 as a door prize. I thought I’d let you have a shot at it before it hits eBay.
I’m looking for $90 + shipping ($3-5, priority insured). New, never opened. If you’re interested, contact me at brianburnham AT gmail DOT [...]

My family and I spent the week in Kansas City, in preparations to move there after I graduate. Of course, there was the obligatory drop-in at the Kansas City Apple Store.
It will be nice being 15 minutes from a store. Right now, at 4.5 hours away, KC’s is probably the closest to OSU. As you [...]

As a career consultant (at OSU) that is what I remind desperate job-seekers who need a boost. Now, those words are ringing true for me. This week I received a job offer. It’s not the first offer I’ve received, but it is the first one I’d actually take.
I’m not going to name names here [...]

Christopher Reeve died today. Now there’s a Superman.
On the big screen he could stop a speeding freight train with his arm, but in reality he could move a nation with his finger.

If you remember, earlier year I was busy in search of a summer internship. With my summer internship over, I’m refocusing on employment upon graduation.
Naturally, that means a new website. Now you can view my skills and credentials via HireBrian.org. This is pretty much an alias to my older hire.brianburnham.com site, but the update afforded [...]

I think there’s something very interesting going on in the world of software. If you read here as often as you should, you know I am an ardent supporter of freeware and Open Source software. Now, the best reason to use open software isn’t the price tag.
We know that open-sourcers are unincumbered by marketing [...]

I know I haven’t updated in a while. I have rediscovered books. I’m moving one of my sites from MT to Drupal, so I’m diving into the world of PHP and MySQL. It is great stuff. PHP and MySQL make quite a powerful duo, and are free taboot. I’m getting there with Larry Ullman’s [...]

That’s free as in freedom. Happy 4th to all you Yanks. Time to pay some respect to those who have had the foresight and unselfishness to sacrifice for freedoms we enjoy.
On a completely unrelated note – many are questioning whether Iraq is any better off liberated than under Saddam when electrical power is less consistent [...]

I thought finals would keep me out of trouble, but I was wrong. Somewhere during a few slow marketing lectures I started work on a couple of website ideas - and now coming into finals week I’m bringing a couple projects online.
GearPile.com and LDSreview.net both cater to specific audiences. If you’re an outdoorsman/adventure sports [...]
