Where’s the beef?

I spent nearly \$250 at Costco today (some of that was gas) and only \$15 of that was for food. Isn’t that depressing?

SxSW Panel Online Finally!

You can go get the audio from our panel at SXSW (Convincing Your Company to Embrace Web Standards to get the slides) over on their podcasts page, or get the mp3 directly.\ I just listened to it (Steve listened to it to too, and we traded jokes) and here are my totally shallow observations after […]

Thought of the day

I should have gotten some bing cherries at the store earlier.\ And a big HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY to my mommy. I knew you’d be offline over the weekend, so I didn’t post this earlier. Love you! Miss you! Ate an oatmeal cookie in fond remembrance of you!

Rails, Wow

I’ve been flirting with it for a while (have had the book since it came out and installed Rails all over the place, just never had time to get into it), but last night I broke down and built my first web application with Ruby on Rails and all I have to say is wow. […]

S5 and Presentation Remotes

I use s5 for all my presentations, and I’ve been giving a lot of them the past couple years.

Random Truth

There are dark chocolate M&Ms in my snack cupboard.

Mashup Camp Video

Holly did some filming and made a cool little video about Mashup Camp. You’ll only be able to see this entry if Dreamhost isn’t still having “issues”.

Church

My mom asked if I was just blowing off steam when I blogged last week about the church. While that was part of it (writing is cathartic), I am also serious about this. I understand the church’s position on preaching out against gay marriage, but to enact a law? That is just wrong. Not only […]

Microformats for APIs

There was a fun discussion at Mashup Camp about Microformats for APIs. It started as a question about using microformats for documenting APIs, which I think was resolved fairly quickly by deciding to try it using XMDP. There’s a short example on the wiki now that I came up with. It’s not complete and doesn’t […]
