401 N Broad (Philly Carrier Hotel)

I had the chance to attend the grand opening of new space in 401 N Broad a few weeks ago.

New Blog!

This is the new home of my blog! I’ll still keep my old blog, Autonomous System around for now. This one is self-hosted on DigitalOcean (I’ll move it to a Colo box soon), and runs HTTP/2 with SSL. I hope to blog a bit more frequently about stuff that I find interesting. I may update and re-post a few older items as well. »
