Offices Are Becoming Antiques

Offices make less and less sense for smaller, agile businesses like the kind many of you work in. Every time I hear about a small company opening up an office with plans to have the employees spend most of their time there, I’m a bit dumbfounded.


5by5 Memberships

I’m really excited to announce that the 5by5 Membership Site has launched. If you enjoy the podcasts I produce, and if you’ve ever found any of my work here useful, now there’s a way for you to say thanks, and help me pay my bills at the same time.


Half-Life 2 for Mac OS X

Half-Life 2 for Mac OS X was released via Steam yesterday. It looks good—better, in fact—than it did when I originally played through the game in Boot Camp on an Intel iMac.

For Sale: Mackie Onyx 1220i Mixer

I’m selling my almost-brand-new Mackie 1220i FireWire mixer. It’s the best mixer I’ve ever owned, and it’s amazing in every way. I’m selling it because I’m upgrading to get more auxiliary ports (to allow for more guests/callers on my shows). If you’re wanting to do podcasting, amateur or professional recording, general broadcasting, and any kind of audio production work would, this is the perfect mixer.

Moon (2009)

I don’t typically make movie recommendations, but I so enjoyed Moon that I’m making an exception. It’s one of the few movies in the last decade that I can actually recommend to people as a good way to spend 97 minutes.
