Amazon dpreview

Wow, I just saw that Amazon has bought dpreview.com, good idea! I've been a fan of dpreview for many years (all the way back to 1999) - it is the most complete and authoritative source of information about digital cameras. It has great independent in-depth reviews and user forums. Makes sense for Amazon, content creates relevancy. I would venture say Amazon is already the website with most raw product content on the Internet. They have created this massive amount of meta-data about products, a lot of it user-generated, and so it makes sense to keep augmenting it with additional quality content such as dpreview. Very coherent move IMHO. Smart.

Mon eve

And reporting back in, all good. Got to meet a few more of my new colleagues, and we had lunch - on the company - at a French restaurant on Madison Ave, I had paella (which of course is a Spanish dish)!

The dress code is a lot more serious that at my previous place, no jeans, etc, they want to portray a very professional environment at all times.

The commute is great, literally takes me 5 minutes to get to/from work. Kevin S. called and we caught up, he is an ex-colleague from work, great developer.

Monday

And off to work. First day at the new job . A bit chilly out, like low 50's.
