Max, Brian, my dad and brother Steve all drove to Ohio last weekend for Tim’s birthday. We had a great time, and the boys were angels. I’m busy, but here are the photo sets: In the Backyard Birthday Party!\ I’ve got more to post on, but it’ll have to wait. I want to tell you […]

Web 2.0 Expo – Making Lemonade
It’s been a wonderful (italics = sarcasm!) week so far. My second presentation at Web 2.0 Expo got moved to Wednesday at the last minute, and I won’t be here, so I’m not giving it. It’s a long and sad soap opera, and I’d rather not talk about it. But, instead of giving up entirely, […]
Lacking Bandwidth
Verizon’s high speed EVDO stuff hasn’t made it down here, so I’m stuck at dial-up speeds for the next week. So… there won’t be a whole lot of blogging, but the Sidekick works, so I’ll be updating my Twitter page fairly often, so check that for updates.\ It’s morning in Mississippi, and it was a […]
Directions
We’re leaving for Jen’s parents’ new house in Mississippi later this week, and we’ve decided to drive instead of fly. I have all this time off, and we haven’t really done a true family road trip since Brian was born, so I figured it’s time. We’ve got the van, all the adapters for our toys […]
EVDO is OK
Instead of paying for the hotel’s network connection, I decided to give my brand new EVDO card a shot. I was talking to one of AOL’s VP’s about my presentation and trying to find the time to write demos and she asked what I would do if I had a budget. Of course, I told […]
Highway Jobbery
Why is it, the more expensive the hotel, the more they rape you on everything? I’m staying at a \$300 a night place, and they want \$5.00 for a bottle of water, \$3.00 for a soda and \$10 for internet for twenty-four hours. Hotel Avante in Mountain View is \$155 a night and they give […]
Countries I’ve Visited, Because Tim Did It
Because Tim did it, I’ve done it too… and I’ve been more places than Tim. I guess it’s not fair that we went to most of the same places in Europe when we were kids. I’m protesting Portugal though… we didn’t go there as kids. When did you go to Portugal, Tim, when? \ create […]
I Left My Bowels In San Francisco
I’ve been good, I swear. Maybe it was the carpaccio last night. Maybe it was the chocolate mousse. Maybe it was something else, like the amorphous blob we had for lunch yesterday. Anyway, I skipped the end of Supernova today to spent some quality time with the hotel bathroom.\ But, yesterday was good. Rohit Khare […]
Supernova 2006, AIM Pages and Microformats
It looks like I’ll be presenting a short overview of AIM Pages and our use of microformats at Supernova. That means I’ll be in San Francisco from probably June 20th-24th. Who wants to do dinner?
Last Day and A Thought
The panel today went really well today. Bert showed of Cesar’s really cool Advanced Layout demo, Andy Clarke did a great presentation about the responsibility we have as web developers, and I did my CSS for Syndicated Content, which went pretty well. I got some good questions, and I don’t remember anyone walking out in […]
