Today is moving day at OmniTI. We’re moving to our new offices in
Maple Lawn. They are pretty kick ass. Of course, moving means packing up all of your things and taking it to the new place, or perhaps throwing a bunch of it out. When I first came to OmniTI, I sat in a desk next to Wez Furlong for about 2 weeks. I’ve had I think 6 different desks since then, and now reside in an office. During all that moving, I tried to consolidate; I’m not sure I succeeded. While cleaning and packing, I decided to write down all of the stuff I had collected in my office; I’ve thrown almost all of it away, so from now on it can live on the internets for posterity.
