Ninjas, Awesome They Are, Yes?
Approximate progression of conversation which started at Cam’s birthday at Golden Gate park and continued through until early evening at Glenda’s: Glenda: We should take Cam and Buzz’s visiting brother, Bobby to the Yoda Fountain! Buzz: Ok, but I want to take Bobby to this pizza place for dinner first so we’ll meet later Glenda: [...]
Rapid WiFi
I gotta say, I’m surprised there’s free WiFi at the Rapid City, South Dakota Regional Airport. So surprised, I figure I should blog on the plane before the doors close. Yes … I’m bored.
The Power of My Phone
I’m in Vancouver and my phone rings. I look at it and reject the call. You see, it’s my San Francisco phone and it’s roaming so I’m not about to answer just any call – especially this one. It was a call from the front door of my apartment complex in SF. My brother is [...]
Maker Faire 1 – SFIFF 0
I went to [Maker Faire][1] over the weekend with [Tantek][4] (and ran into [Nicole][5], [Brandon][6], [Leonard][7] and many others). We didn’t arrive until quite late due to a number of circumstances (including some protesting on [Bill 42][8]) and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. Not in the Faire but in myself for not [...]
At TED
Day two of TED conference (where I’m uploading pictures as soon and often as I can). This conference was meant to be the change of pace from the many design conferences I tend to go to. TED stands for Technology Entertainmend Design and has just an incredible speaker lineup (which I really can’t do justice). [...]
Webcomics and Weblogs
I’m sitting in BarCamp which can only be described as a major conglomeration of geeks. There are, and will be, some interesting discussions. Currently, the discussion is about _Blogging for Profits_. The more this discussion unfolds, the more I start to recognize that webcomics have paved the way. Sure, there’s podcasting and video and endless [...]
Online Photo Albums
A few people have asked what I use or recommend as an online photo tool. I’ve tried a few from Ofoto to Imagestation and investigated various photoblog systems as well as out of the box php applicaitons like Gallery. Picasa doesn’t quite count as an online tool but I still looked into it. So here’s [...]
Tools I Use, 2004 Edition
I have a lot of little applications that run on my machine. I thought I’d share what I felt are the best ones so you can try them. I’ve included key features that make me stick with them. ### [Trillian Pro 2.0/3.0] [1] – Instant Messsenger ($25/yr for pro) – aggregates all of MSN, Y!, [...]
Movable Type Enhancements
In trying to determine whether Movable Type (MT) was a feasible backend for OK/Cancel, I found a variety of sites and discovered just how big the MT community really was. If there’s a function you can think of (and many you can’t), somebody’s already done it and posted about it. Before I go on, for [...]
Big Day
Before I talk about my special day where I bring my Transformer lunchbox to school and meet nice people during recess, I would like to point your attention to three things: 1) This site has a new design. I know, you didn’t notice until I just said so, but there it is. It’s quite pretty [...]
