Site Redesign
on August 21, 2008 with 1 Comment
At WordCamp I decided that it’s about time I cleaned this place up. Instead of having 4 websites, I’ve combined them into one. I’ve also more clearly illustrated my focus on Wordpress Consulting.
Ongoing problems with Windows
on January 5, 2008 with 0 comments
I have two Windows pc’s that run Snapstream’s BeyondTV and are connected to my TV’s. It works great…when it works. The weak link here isn’t Snapstream, their software is amazing; it’s Windows. We got a virus or something about a month ago, which had been getting progressively worse. It got to the point where I’d [...]
Testing out new comment system – Intense Debate
on September 3, 2007 with 0 comments
I was invited to the closed beta testing of Intense Debate – a substitute for the standard comment system that came with my blogging software (WordPress). It offers threaded conversations, a single identity (and reputation) across all blogs using the software, and an easy way for you to track the new comments. So leave a [...]

on August 23, 2007 with 0 comments
I’m a big Netflix fan. I’m also really busy, so I have a hard time keeping up with TV shows (even with a DVR). I just don’t have time to dedicate each week to a TV show. But I usually have a few hours each week free, so I love having a movie or two [...]
I can't wait for a Google Phone
on August 23, 2007 with 0 comments
Am I the only one who hates phone calls? AT&T’s call quality is terrible – I can’t remember the last time I understood everything someone said. And there’s no way to look it up later like I can with email. For important conversations (like talks with clients), I don’t trust phones at all; it needs [...]

iPhone v2 (Or, what the iPhone should have been)
on June 30, 2007 with 6 Comments
(photo by lazybone cafe) [Update:] In the comments, Chris pointed out that T-Mobile just announced something similar, a phone that switches over to wi-fi when it has a better connection (ny times article). I love it. But, right now they are only offering it with a basic flip phone. Once they get a Blackberry or [...]
Re: The Facebook Problem
on June 24, 2007 with 1 Comment
I posted this as a comment on Brad Feld’s The Facebook Problem, but since Doug Williams is commenting on my comment, I thought I’d post it over here. A change has happened at Facebook and not many have noticed it. As the VC’s and entrepreneurs have become more connected to facebook, the average user (a [...]
