So I got tapped for Pay it Forward Tuesday. It’s a pretty cool idea, I’m happy to do my part to spread the word. However, I haven’t decided on a site to promote yet. Why don’t you guys give me some suggestions in the comments over the next 24 hours, and I’ll pick one and…

I just finished rating the last of my unrated songs in iTunes. I’d done this back in 2005, but since then another 1000 or so songs made their way into my library1. Those are now rated as well – I guess it’s time to rip some more of my CDs. 🙂 I blame Geof Morris…

I decided to get a screen protector for my BlackBerry 8703e when I first got it, and after looking at a number of options I went with the Invisible Shield. As a WriteRight user for nearly a decade, I was hesitant about going with a solution that gave you only a single shield. Even with…

Note: This is the ninth in a series of articles about the building of alexking.org 2.0. One of the big reasons I wanted to put all of the alexking.org content into WordPress was because I’d found that I’d begun putting almost everything into the blog rather than other areas of the site. It wasn’t a…

Like I said, Spanning Sync left the door wide open for this (assuming this isn’t a service – not much info on their site and I don’t use beta sync products). (Thanks Chris)

Backwards Comments CeBit is Blocking Pro Bloggers? John Tokash’s Blog – seems like a rather late ’90’s mentality. Yahoo! Mail Beta meets Yahoo! Messenger – pretty slick. Amusing – heh. Photo Matt – Advertising and Blogs – kudos to Matt for jumping right in and not having crappy intro music and such in his podcasts.…

If you’re a NetNewsWire user, you want this. The UI overhaul is gorgeous.

Micropayments for content, similar in concept to my micropayments for downloads ideas. (Thanks Geof)

Steve and I discussed this over the weekend, definitely agree.

I’ve spent a good deal of time this week working on a little project using the Code Igniter framework. This is a liberally licensed PHP framework that does some of the same MVC stuff that Rails does for Ruby and CakePHP also does for PHP, but it’s a bit less rigid – which I like.…

I’ve been using the Logitech MX Revolution for a little while now. The Good Rechargeable battery and cradle. Free spinning scroll wheel. It’s just fun. 🙂 Accurate mouse tracking. Immediately available when I turn it on – no needing to move it around to get it “recognized”. Battery level display. Not bad looking. The Bad…

Michael Wilbon: Albert Pujols scored a perfect 100 on his citizenship test, are you impressed? Tony Kornheiser: I am. Brad Lidge served that up to him. I can’t wait for baseball season. 🙂

Over the last few weeks, I’ve engaged in an e-mail interview with Thord Daniel Hedengren of Bloggertalks. That interview has been posted on Bloggertalks. Thord asked some good questions, I hope my responses are interesting. 🙂 This post is part of the project: Share Icon. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

During the last few months I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about custom development – way more than I can handle. It’s time to raise my rates again. The new rates are listed on the King Design development page. Note: The new rates apply to new projects, I’m not retroactively changing the rate on…
