We All Float Down Here

September 10th, 2017

I wonder if Stephen King likes being an institution, because he sure is one. The guy has been in the writing business for over 40 years, and he’s become a genre unto himself. You may be one of his Constant Readers, you may bemoan his influence on popular literature, or maybe you’ve just read a few of his books, but you regardless know who he is and what he’s about. Entire seconds worth of research shows me that, since 1976, there have been over 60 film and TV adaptations of his work. It goes without saying that they are of wildly different quality. Sure, you’ve got excellent... Read More

In today’s digital world, monitor system failures, outings or website glitches are not an option and with the rate of information output at such an immediate level, solutions for these outages have to be instantaneous as well. But what does this mean for the IT teams responsible for troubleshooting the incidents? It means long on-call hours, alerts and pages at all hours, and almost constant availability. Waking up in the middle of the night, receiving pages at dinner, daily life being interrupted for hours at a time and suddenly the life of the IT fix-it becomes less than glamorous. Enter VictorOps.... Read More

Everyone wins TEN DOLLARS of FREE groceries

September 12th, 2014

Sorry for all the capital letters in the title, I guess I’m just a little too excited. Groceries are a necessity, and shopping at the grocery on a weekly basis can quickly become a chore. However, what if I told you that someone else would do the shopping for you? In fact, what if I told you that someone else would shop for you AND that you would get ten dollars worth of free groceries? Frankly, I wouldn’t believe it. But believe it or not, this is a real opportunity. This magical business I just described is called Instacart, and they’re ready to go grocery shopping for all... Read More
