  3. Racing Game for GBA?

    After a year of playing Mario Kart a few minutes a day, a couple days a week I’ve finally gotten pretty decent at it. I think it’s time for me to move on to another game, and I think I’d enjoy a similar racing game. Recommendations?

  4. I Rarely Do Design Work Anymore

    If you’ve contacted me regarding design work in the past 6 months, you’ve probably gotten a reply similar to this: I rarely do design jobs these days, unless the client has a clear understanding that it’s very difficult to do accurate estimates for design work. The time spent and resulting cost depends on how much…

  5. TextMate Has Improved

    I liked what I read last week in the TextMate blog so much, I decided to use it exclusively for a project. When I tried TextMate back in the 1.0 days, I found I didn’t entirely care for it, for various reasons. On the flight home last night, I used TextMate for some PHP editing…

  6. Mashup Camp, Day 2

    Day 2 of Mashup Camp was a little more informal (if that’s possible) than day 1 – it was quite interesting to see everyone’s creations in action and discuss various development challenges with them. Special thanks to: my travel partner Steve, Adam, DeWitt, Anil, Niall, Davey, Tim and everyone else I had the pleasure of…

  7. Mashup Camp, Day 1

    Mashup Camp is my first “unconference” experience – it’s been quite interesting. The basic theory is to get a bunch of people together and let them geek out in loose groups on various topics, with little to no structure. It worked surprisingly well – Steve was impressed as well. The sessions I attended today: API…

  8. Off to Mashup Camp

    I’m back in the Bay Area again for a couple of days to attend Mashup Camp. I’m quite looking forward to it. Note to self: if you played doubles volleyball earlier in the day, remember to ice your knees before getting on a plane. Overheard on the plane, producing some snickering from Steve and myself:…

  12. FeedLounge Downtime

    FeedLounge was down for about 20 hours last week while we upgraded the back-end systems to roll out a huge performance improvement. This, naturally, generated some unrest amongst our users. After Scott and I got some rest and discussed the matter, I posted a lengthy response in the thread. This post is part of the…

  13. Use Tasks Lockout

    I got halfway through upgrading the Use Tasks accounts and got locked out of the #%%$ing server. Unfortunately, calls to the server admin have gone unanswered, so Use Tasks will unfortunately be offline until I can get back into the server. My guess is that will be sometime after the server admin wakes up and…
