  • chrome: simplifying the web

    in other news of simplifying things, google chrome… i have been a firefox=aholic for a good long while.  way back in the beginnings of the internet, i wasn’t ever totally satisfied with internet explorer, and netscape was always too bloated, so i tried every browser i could get my hands on.  i settled on opera…

  • simplifying things, cutting off painful extremities

    so last week, erin and i decided to cut off iFreelance for good.  we’ve gotten a good run on Elance and we’ve only really gotten 1 fix-it job on iFreelance, the interface isn’t as good, the support and payment isn’t as easy (for either party) or well developed, and the jobs are fewer and tend…

  • eat your heart out david lynch

    first vlog.  i’m pretty happy with it.  it doesn’t say “hey, i’m a boring video blog” instead it says “hi i’m a video blog AND I’M GOING TO MELT YOUR BRAIN” which, i think, is a lot more interesting.  i’m a bit annoyed by the clicky noises it makes when i move the laptop around…

  • twine: you’re dead to me…

    a while ago i read this article on wired about twine, a new social bookmarking app.  it was supposed to revolutionize the concept of social bookmarking, pushing links that you might be interested in into your email box.  manage my digital life by  feeding me interesting stuff?  sure!  sign me up! at the time it…

    so if you aren’t following me on twitter, you may not know that i got a laptop in the mail yesterday. my new toy is a 13″ macbook with osx tiger, 2gb ram, 60gb hd and 2ghz (actually i think maybe 2.2 ghz) processor.  i got it on ebay for a total of $710 including…

  • tweet

    so i’m rethinking my stance on twitter.  slightly.  let me just say that i thnk a lot of twitters are inane and obnoxious, like “going to the bathroom” or “eating” and i don’t care about those.  if it was a waste of a blog post, it’s a waste of a twitter.  however, in reading things…

  • nooooo! okay, the sso sucks. but, in other news, we’re wiidicted

    i nixed the single sign on due to the fact that a) it was kind of buggy and b) i didn’t need it anyway. but in better news.  WII.  seriously.  wii.  it’s wiitastic.  i’m wiidicted.  it’s wiilicious.  and i’ve got wii-arm now. gavin’s b-day is coming up so we decided to get him a wii. …

  • YESSSSSSSS! got the single sign-on integration to work

    w00t! WordPress and KickApps are now playing nice.  the single sign on app is working and all is right with the world.  there were a couple really little dumb things that needed tweaking.

  • my wordle looks like an ad for thinktank-studios.com

    wired ran a blog post on what everyone in the tech biz is thinking (namely the iphone).  it’s called wordle and what it does is take a body of text, or a blog, or something, and creates a tag cloud (like what i have on the right) based on the word usage.  a  pretty one…

  • quick note about jazzsequence network…

    looks like the single sign-on thing isn’t working right….when you create your wp account it doesn’t pass the authentication to the members/community site.  sorry about this folks, i’m getting it worked on. UPDATE well i got the join link up top working…sorta.  it’s just not using the single sign-on.  but it’s a temporary fix… UPDATE…
