  • Introducing TwiddleEast

    This weekend as Israelis and Palestinians clashed again in Gaza, and it seemed like everyone had a reaction to the violence. As I consumed the popular media, I began to think about the more pedestrian views out there. It is important to understand what the everyman thinks, even if one does not agree with him…

  • Google Chrome’s Design Comic

    So the big news on the internets today is Google’s new browser: Chrome. It’s only available for Windows as of today, and since I’m on a Mac I haven’t been able to play with it yet. But that’s ok, because Google hasn’t completely left me out of the loop. I have access to the comic…

  • Upgraded WordPress to 2.3.3

    Did a little upgrading this morning. If you find any bugs, hiccups, errors, etc. please let me know. The install itself wasn’t all that difficult – assuming you’ve got a degree that has something to do with Computer Science. I wish I could say it was as easy as clicking a few buttons, alas it…

  • Aloha Hulu

    I’m giving Hulu a shot. So far it’s pretty sweet. Don’t be mistaken, the success of a service like Hulu is greatly dependent on one thing: the programming. And I don’t mean software programming. It’s all about the shows, baby. When it comes to programming, Hulu’s got a great start. There’s a bunch of shows…

  • I’m Addicted to GoodReads

    You know, every once in a while you start to use a really great social networking tool, like LinkedIn or Facebook, and the time just flies by. Thanks wholly to Karen, I found a new one…GoodReads. There’s a lot to like. I’m constantly on the lookout for a good tool for keeping an index of…

  • Linux for the Creative Type?

    Call me a Design+OSS fanboy, but UbuntuStudio looks awesome. Finally an Open Source operating system aimed at us designerly folks. I know, I know, all that software has been around for a while, but it will be nice for it to be all wrapped up in a tightly wound package. I’ll let you know if…

  • The Design of CruiseControl.rb

    If you’ve heard me talk about work lately, you have probably heard me talk about an Open Source project I’ve been working on with a handful of other folks at ThoughtWorks. Previous to now, it’s been “privately public,” existing on servers where people could get to it, but not so public that we were letting…

  • Songbird is sweet

    I’ve been playing with Songbird, the music player made by Mozilla. For those of you who don’t know, Mozilla is the brains behind Firefox & Thunderbird, for browsing and email, respectively. My experience so far with Songbird is that it is awesome, especially given the fact that it’s still in early beta. It already does…
