Plex Server Reaches 1.0

Big congrats to the Plex team for their Server v1.0 release! Plex is basically the only thing I ever run on my Apple TV and an indispensable part of my digital (entertainment) life!

The first small piece of the Plex Media Server was committed inauspiciously enough on September 20th, 2008, right after 11:30pm. I was probably tired, and possibly drunk. It was just eight months after the very first pre-alpha release of our OSXBMC media center app, which goes to show you how committed we were to making a server.

Happy 20th Birthday, Quake

Great post by John Romero, one of the creators of Doom and Quake, posting on Quake’s 20th birthday: Happy 20th Birthday, Quake

So many great memories of one of the truly groundbreaking games, responsible for ushering in basically every FPS since.

Ottawa Police Share the Most Ridiculous Excuses Heard for Distracted Driving

I have to say the best one from this article where Ottawa Police Share the Most Ridiculous Excuses Heard for Distracted Driving is:

“My dad could buy you,” to the Abbotsford, B.C., police officer who responded: “Get him to buy two of me, I could use the help.”

Oh so Abbotsford…
