Boston Behind the Scenes Featured On Frommer’s Website

I was checking my website stats for Boston Behind the Scenes, and low-and-behold there were a ton of hits coming from the Frommer’s travel website! They did a story called Download This: Homegrown Podcast Tours Give You a Local’s Look on Thursday, and guess who is first on the list:

Junk Mail Evolution

I once took a Photoshop class through my job, and ever since I’ve been getting flyers in the mailbox by my desk advertising these kind of workshops.

At first, the ads were mostly for tech workshops like the one I attended. However, as my address filtered through the educational junk mail universe, I got more unusual things. Some were for public speaking or organizational workshops, while others invited me to become a better manager.

Today though, I got this one: Effective Intervention Strategies for Chronically Disruptive Students. For just $199 per person (Satisfaction guaranteed!), I can learn “a new and highly effective approach to classroom management.”

Anyone want to go in my place?

The Internet is a truly strange place.

Snow!

I like snow, but I know many people are unhappy that everything is white on March 16.
Here’s the Science Park T station right now.

I’m Going to BarCamp this weekend

No, it’s not about drinking – it’s a free tech conference. You can read about it (or sign up to attend) here: BarCampBoston2. If you want to learn the (short) history of the event, their official historical document seems to be the Wikipedia Entry.
