Last night, my Boston Behind the Scenes podcast reached its 10,000th download. It’s come a long way!
R2-D2 Mailbox at the Museum of Science
The AP reported yesterday that 400 R2-D2 mailboxes would be deployed around the country to promote the launch of a Star Wars commemorative stamp on March 28.
Well, I came to work this morning and found this new mailbox outside the building. When I went to the website printed on the side, I found a clip from Star Wars modified to show Leah inserting an envelope into R2-D2 (bottom).
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 If you want to learn the (short) history of the event, their official historical document seems to be the Wikipedia Entry.
Ducks Migrating
I guess it’s getting to be spring. The DUKWs are out playing in the river.
Find out what it’s like to be a Duck with the play button below.
(Finally) A New Boston Behind the Scenes
I just put up the first Boston Behind the Scenes since December. It’s on the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, and I think it’s pretty good.
Boston’s Omni Parker House Hotel sits at one of the oldest intersections in Boston on the site of America’s first public school. The hotel itself was the first luxury hotel built in America, and is now the oldest operating hotel in the country. Throughout its 150-year history, Omni Parker House has housed, fed, or employed such famous names as Longfellow, Dickens, Kennedy, Emerson, Roosevelt, Curley, Ho Chi Minh, John Wilkes Booth, and dozens more.
