  1. Yankees v. Red Sox

    Should be one heck of a series this weekend. That lucky bastard My friend Steve is going to the pivotal Saturday game – I bet that will be quite an experience (especially if the Sox win)! I’ll have to settle for some HD goodness from the YES network – hope I can stand it with…

  2. Moleskine Reality

    Now that I’ve had my Moleskine notebook for a little while (and have actually carried it with me and used it too), I’m finding that it’s quite a niche player in my organization toolset. I have trouble organizing information in it: when to start new pages, when to leave space for future notes on a…

  3. Amazon Prime

    Hats off to Amazon. I rarely ordered from Amazon before this year; my previous purchases were mainly for presents or were wish list or registry items. Before this year, I would shop around to several online stores, compare prices and save $5-10 where I could. That has all changed this year, because of Amazon Prime.…

  4. Tasks Pro™ 1.6 beta 3

    I’ve released Tasks Pro™ version 1.6 beta 3. This version fixes bugs reported in beta 2 and adds a few small features. Added a new ‘dark’ theme. Added the ability to check with taskspro.com for a new release on login (if the user has permission to configure server options). Remove HTML tags from HTML only…

  5. How I Use FeedLounge

    No matter how you think people will use software you design and build, they will always surprise you; often in interesting ways. In the case of FeedLounge, our users are generally coming over from a previous feed reader and have a feed reading routine that they’ve developed with that software. The feedback we get is…

  7. California Post Mortem

    I’d have to say that the California trip was, while tiring, definitely a success. Besides the opportunity to meet some smart and interesting people and learn quite a bit, I was able to reconnect briefly with old and dear friends. Thanks to all of you who made time to get together this week, I thoroughly…

  8. Rethinking the Switch to Windows

    A week ago I’d pretty much decided my next development machine would be a PC with a pair of Dell 24″ displays. I was mainly waiting for the special deals to pop up on Tech Bargains. I also thought it might be interesting to try doing my main development on a PC again, having been…

  9. FeedLounge Meetup at Borders in Palo Alto

    Tomorrow night at 6:30pm, Scott and I will be hosting a little FeedLounge meetup at the Borders in Palo Alto. I’m looking forward to talking with everyone and showing off FeedLounge1. Stop by if you’re in the area. And maybe talking to a few Tasks users? 😉 [back] This post is part of the project:…

  10. The Big Three-Oh

    Funny, I don’t feel a whole decade older. My friends are a good lot, they got me a balloon: Looking back, I don’t know that I had many “before I turn 30” goals – but I can’t say I’m unhappy with how things have turned out (so far).
