Recursive Twitter pimp: Christian Heilmann pimped craig’s twitter: http://www.wait-till-i.com/… I too have fallen victim to Twitter‘s addictive seduction. It can be quite a time-sink, at least until the novelty wears off. Took about a week for me. As Chris notes, there is a tendency for some to use Twitter as a mass-IM forum, holding entire… Continue reading Twitterpated

Freelance Status Report: Week 3
I used to hear about freelance designers being ultra-busy and scratch my head in mild puzzlement. After all, isn’t part of the appeal of self-employment the freedom to set your own schedule and work at your own pace? But now, three weeks in, I see what they’re talking about. I am positively booked solid through… Continue reading Freelance Status Report: Week 3
Ronin
Friday, October 27th, 2006 will mark my last day of full-time gainful employment at Fair Isaac Corporation where I’ve been a part of the skilled and talented team responsible for myFICO.com for nearly four years. My reasons for leaving are many and varied, but in the end I simply felt it was time to move… Continue reading Ronin
Presenting… at Suckswuh
Round 2 of the 2007 SXSW Interactive Panel Proposal Picker has just gone live and I’ve got one proposal in the bunch. Semantics Semantics – A Plain English Guide to Web Standards Jargon Every specialized field evolves its own internal language of jargon, slang, insider references and buzzwords. We’ll cut through the technobabble and define… Continue reading Presenting… at Suckswuh

It seems three years of my quiet (sometimes not so quiet) evangelism had taken some root and it was decided to be high time the other coders got up to… Continue reading Presenting…
SEO and WordCamp
I attended the first WordCamp on Saturday, August 5 in San Francisco. While I’ve heard no official headcount, I’d estimate about 200 bloggers rallied at the Swedish American Hall to bond over a shared enthusiasm for the bundle of open-source code that drives the words you’re reading right now. Sessions were loose and informal discussions,… Continue reading SEO and WordCamp
Consumption Backlog
It has been nearly three months since my last post, mainly because I just haven’t had much to say. Here’s a batch review of what I’ve been doing instead of blogging, in no particular order. X-Men: The Last Stand — Pretty good, but not as good as the first two. Penguin by Design : A… Continue reading Consumption Backlog
Track 3
On any given album, more often than not, the third track is one of the album’s best songs. Assuming, of course, it’s a decent album and a decent band to begin with. I can’t speak for lame songs on bad albums by crappy bands because I don’t listen to them. But in the realm of… Continue reading Track 3
Going Naked
Last week Dustin Diaz proposed the First Annual Naked Day, wherein one temporarily removes all author CSS, exposing the pure HTML to demonstrate the separation of content from presentation. A well-structured site should remain fully functional and usable, even with default browser styling. So, on a lark and at the last minute, I jumped on… Continue reading Going Naked
