  1. Around the web

    Antennagate Bottom Line – cell reception is a local issue. John has way better reception in Philly than I’ve seen in Denver and the Bay Area. I was dropping at least 1 in 10 calls when on AT&T (I think more like 1 in 5). Since moving to Verizon nearly a year ago, i have…

    We’ve been using this for a while, I totally dropped the ball on getting the release out the door. Sorry about that, use in good health.

  3. WordPress HelpCenter is Hiring (Again!)

    I’m very pleased that my WordPress HelpCenter team is ready to grow again and we’re looking for a top-notch WordPress developer to join our team. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of WordPress and web development (PHP, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript) experience, comfortable working in a standard web hosting environment, and in particular someone…

  4. Around the web

    Stop the War, Start Improving – I think a big difference is that Apple knows where they are going and I’m not sure Android does (definitely more reactive). The iPhone 4 is great* – I’m holding out for the next rev. What Caffeine Actually Does to Your Brain – worth reading. Confession #72: I’m Being…

  5. HTML5 Tip: input type=”date” and Webkit

    If you’re using HTML5 (like we are on the Crowd Favorite website), you may run into an issue of forms not submitting in Webkit browsers (Safari, Chrome). If the form is failing silently with no JavaScript errors and you have an <input type=”date” /> in the form, that may be the issue. It appears that…

  6. IMAP for Feeds

    Back when I was working on FeedLounge I suggested on more than one occasion that we needed an IMAP equivalent for feeds. This way, users could move between feed readers (mobile, desktop, online, etc.) and their read/unread status would be maintained between all of them. It’s interesting that Google Reader has basically become this solution.…

  7. Around the web

    The many flavors of H.264 video – great summary from Niall. Rocketbox is a powerful, new way of searching your e-mail in… – testing this on one of my machines, so far so good. Opinion: Android Devices With Good Phyiscal Keyboards Pose A Bigger Threat To The BlackBerry Than The iPhone Ever Has – “This…

  8. How to Get the Most From WordCamp

    With WordCamp Boulder coming up at the end of the week (still some tickets available), I thought it might be a good time to publish the observations and tips I’ve gleaned as a WordCamp attendee, speaker, sponsor and organizer. If I could only share one tip, it would be this: Take responsibility for your WordCamp…

  9. Around the web

    The “I was offline last week” edition. Microsoft Kin is dead — Engadget – That’s got to be a record. Derek Powazek – Press the Magic Button – I’m pretty agressive about blocking people on Twitter too, for the same reason. (thanks Geof)

  10. WordCamp Boulder (Denver) Tickets – 1 Week Left

    The tickets for WordCamp Boulder (Denver) are starting to get a bit scarce with a week left before the event. There are only 16 tickets left that include a t-shirt and lunch, so act quickly to get yours. There are also micro-sponsor tickets available for those wanting to do a little extra for the community…

  11. Scheduled Email

    One of the features I’d like most in an email client is some fine-grained control over it’s checking and sending schedule. I’d like to designate blocks of time during the day where my mail client doesn’t check for email1 to avoid distractions. Yes, I know I can quit my Mail client – I’d like to…
