  • someone put me out of my g33k’d misery

    i feel like steve jobs is playing a cruel game of punk’d on me. so here’s the deal.  i have a macbook.  many applications that i want to use don’t work or don’t seem to be entirely supported or have weird issues in tiger (such as the bizarre instance of photoshop not being able to…

  • ThinkTank gets a mention for Elgg development

    class=”aligncenter” I built a mod for Elgg to put rss feeds into the spotlight in Elgg, rathar than the default Elgg stuff.  I posted it to the usergroups and, hey, we got a shout out.  It’s not much, but it’s still nice to see our name on someone’s blog other than my own.  :) http://openedweb.com/blog/2008/09/05/great-elgg-10-plugins-trickling-in/

  • new theme and pretty titles

    class=”aligncenter” I added the “Metallic” theme which was ported from the old site and I’ve added in a pretty titles wp plugin (ttftitles) that makes an image from the text using fonts you upload — i like it a lot.  I have one more theme I need to port over and then I think we…

  • 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…

  • freelance success!

    after a month of being frustrated and writing bids on projects we wouldn’t get, erin and i re-evaluated what we were doing, how we were approaching the business, and what we should be doing.  since then, in a little over a week, we’ve scored 7 new projects on Elance and completed 4 of them. saying…

  • obama isn’t going for the low blow

    after news of gov. palin’s teen daughter’s pregnancy broke, i thought to myself (and to erin), i hope obama doesn’t use this. it’s typical to go for the groin shot in politics, use an advantage like a teenage pregnancy in the family (or a wife’s alchoholism, or whatever) to drag your opponent’s name in the…

  • stuff i listened to in high school

    it started as an idea after doing the road trip cds because i threw some stuff on there that i hadn’t really listened to in years.  erin and i started talking about stuff we listened to in high school, so i decided to make high school mix cds.  if you’re interested in my somewhat more…

  • CamPAIN 2008 — the future vs. the past

    watched obama’s speech yesterday.  here it is, if you haven’t seen it yet: watching this not only makes me an obsessed obama groupie (he does seem to have that effect), and go out and buy some obama stuff on his website, but also makes me realize that this election is huge.  it’s not even about…

  • New ThinkTank Studio beta site launched!

    class=”aligncenter” Hi.  You’re looking at the brand-spanking-new ThinkTank Studio website.  We’re still working on adding in a Theme Switcher to allow you to change the look of the site, but we decided it was time to launch the site anyway.  This is one of our favorite themes that we’ve built for the site anyway, designed…
