Living Strong

By Emile • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: General

Some days ago I was able to participate in the LiveSTRONG Philadelphia fundraising run & ride. The experience is a blast of yellow across a number of beautiful and colorful jerseys, banners, helmets, and more - all in the name of fighting the number one killer in America: cancer.
The event was poignant for a […]

By Emile • Aug 15th, 2007 • Category: General

The studious lads at Six Fried Rice were kind enough to put together a really thorough and enlightening post on the trials and tribulations we have on dealing with damaged files and corruption of data in FileMaker.
