The Life and Times of Sooz

I took a few photos at the Cambridge Carnival today. The annual festival happened in Central Square for many years and moved to Kendall Square this year. I ran into Watertown blogger Michael Feldman and then met up with Michael and his roommate Rachel to find food and drinks.

The rest of the photos I ...

The Boston Photo Mob at flickr is meeting up on Wednesday, August 31st near Fenway. It's nice to know that after eleven years in Boston I've finally found a mob to join.

Here are the details that they've come up with for the next mob meeting:

5:30 PM: Meet in front of Pizzaria Uno's in Kenmore ...

The monthly game night that John Brigham and I organize at True Grounds was written up in a Boston Metro article on August 24 titled "Hottest Coffee Shops." For some reason the article highlights the Star Wars game that someone brought to the July game night. Just for the record, there are a ...

I noticed there's a Bar Camp Boston logo for an event sometime in 2005. Anybody know who is organizing it and if they'd like help? I couldn't find any Boston contact information on the Bar Camp website.

There are two obvious reasons why "My Mood Swings" is fabulous: it's an Elvis Costello song and it's from The Big Lebowski Soundtrack. For some reason, this is the only song off the soundtrack that is available on iTunes. Listen up!

In related news, Lebowski Fest is coming to New York City October 21-22, 2005: bands, ...

I'm having a hard time figuring out Feedburner. I use their service to manage my sooz.com RSS feed because I'm a web stats junkie and like to see how many people read certain entries, etc. One day it tells me I've got 120 people subscribed to my feed. Then the next day it's 110. ...

Some people have a countdown to Christmas or their wedding, I'd rather have a countdown for the next South by Southwest Interactive Festival. It's happening next March 10-14, 2006 in Austin, TX. Craig Newmark of Craig's List is doing one of the keynotes. South by Southwest Interactive is the best tech/web event to ...

Shimon Rura recently launched his awesome voo2do task management website. I had a chance to check it out a few months ago while it was under development. It's great to see it come to life for others to use, too.

So, I thought I'd compile and describe some of the tools I ...

I moved into new office space recently at Cambridge Innovation Center. They're in Cambridge at One Broadway in Kendall Square. I first checked them out last year and was impressed with their setup. On a month-to-month basis (no long-term lease) you can rent cubicles and offices that include a suite of services ...

Something weird seems to be happening with the new event website I set up for Game Night on August 23rd. I'm not sure what I've done to mess it up. Oddly enough, the site looks fine on WhizSpark's Windows-based computers but when I try to go to the site on a Mac, it doesn't ...
