I’m very proud to announce the launch of FavePersonal; a WordPress theme designed for personal websites. I have been using (and building and…
Fellow Colorado web geeks, I made you a t-shirt. The code that comprises the white stripe is a full, working HTML page with canvas code that draws…
It’s been very interesting to me to see how some folks are re-evaluating their work/life balance in the wake of reading Isaacson’s Steve…
I continue to think that it’s ESPN that has to be the true pioneer here. They’re the one content provider that has the cable companies by the balls. No cable provider can afford not to offer ESPN. So ESPN has the most leeway to do what they want without fear of retribution.
That’s probably true.
In case you’re not familiar with Glassboard, here’s the deal: what Pair is to the bedroom, and Path is to the rec room, Glassboard is to the board room. (Hence “board” in the name. “Glass” refers to your phone’s screen.)
This is the first explanation of the name that I’ve seen. The name always struck me as invoking exactly the wrong mental connections (glass = open, where GlassBoard’s major selling point = privacy). The new app UI seems quite nice from my initial exploration – very Path/Facebook/Sparrow-inspired.

You can look at 39 plate appearances and decide that Ichiro can’t hit with men in scoring position, or you can look at 1,500 plate appearances and realize that he can. It’s really up to you, but what kind of conclusion you draw says a lot about your understanding of how the game actually works.
The Mariners are a confusing mix of new and old school.
Very cool, and nice to see the integration with GameTonight.
Congratulations to Brad on today’s launch of WP App Store. I’m very pleased to see this come to life. It’s an idea we toyed around with several years ago, but decided not to pull the trigger on – I hope it’s a huge success.
We’ve put our FavePersonal and FaveBusiness themes along with our RAMP plugin into the app store. If you’d like to check it out, download the plugin and start browsing. There is a great group of companies represented already and I’m sure we’ll see more additions as the project grows.
.@rands Early on the impulse is to build as much as possible. Over time you understand the limits of what can be maintained.
Fellow Colorado web geeks, I made you a t-shirt. The code that comprises the white stripe is a full, working HTML page with canvas code that draws the Colorado flag. Yes, it’s very meta. Want one? We’re taking orders for the rest of the month, then we’ll place an order to get them all printed…
Most people have a goal of expanding their user base by launching apps, but I agree with Devin that this doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case here. I’ve never listened to a show live – I time-shift everything. Clearly I’m not the audience for this app.
I think one big thing here is the positioning of the app. Maybe if this was titled “5by5 Pro” (clearly targeted at power users) it might make more sense.
I’m on the verge of removing text messaging from my phone plan – I think I’m down to 3-6/month that aren’t iMessages. I can route alerts and such to my Google Voice number.
I watched most of the tournament this weekend (laid up sick on the couch) and came out of it rooting hard for Kevin Na. It’s damn hard to be struggling with this in the spotlight he was in. He handled it with grace too.
My first question on Quora… I am genuinely interested in the answer(s).
Best episode yet of the new “A Show”.
@WookieeBoy When I get text messages for things that aren’t urgent, I find it annoying. I realize this is a “get off of my lawn” situation.
Last weekend we had my daughter’s three year photo shoot (see photos). Today we got the proof sheet and I showed them to her on the iPad. Pretty cool to watch her experiment with the proof website: tap to enlarge, swipe, press the X to close, etc.
Her: I want to see the photo with you and mom again.
Me: Why do you like seeing the photos with me and mom in them too?
Her: Because I like you guys.
Me: Melt, hug – Ok, here you go.
We were lucky to have Andrea Flanagan recommended to us as a portrait photographer. I think we’ve done five photo shoots with her, with great results each time. If you’re looking for a photographer in the Denver area, I highly recommend getting in touch.
