Girlfriends
Sam: Is this what having a girlfriend is going to be like? She's your best friend and she's beautiful and you can say and do anything in front of her?
Neal: That's what my dad always says they want you to think before you marry them. That's how they suck you in.
Bill: She's the kind of woman you can cut the cheese in front of.
Sam: Oh yeah Bill that's what love is all about.
Bill: It is. I mean you couldn't be in love with someone, if you couldn't. Think about it.
Neal: That is true. You have to sleep with your wife every night of your life. If you couldn't blast one in bed, you'd get physically ill.
Sam: Oh come on guys... you can't fart in front of a woman.
Bill: What do you think you do? Get up and run outside every time you have to let one rip? You'd never get any sleep.
From "Freaks and Geeks"... If you have never seen it, you don't know what you are missing. Reminds me a lot of "The Sandlot", but of course not about baseball.
Help the Developers!
All the recent coding has caused a unexpected, but delightful side effect. I have actually been reaching out to other developers.
How many times have you been using a piece of software or a website and thought “man I wish it did X, Y, and Z.” Often times we simply leave it at that. I was guilty of this for a long time. What I have started doing now is looking for a contact button...
Teaching vs. Educating

According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria, BC recently was faced with a unique problem.
A number of year 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the maintenance man...
Cocoa = T-Rex
I noticed today that Cocoa is like a T-Rex. You know that scene in Jurassic Park, where the T-Rex is hunting the people and the guy says to stay perfectly still and it’ll never see them? Yeah that’s how it is with Cocoa. I let her out the back door and when she wants to come back in, she comes to the door and looks for me. If she sees me she’ll knock and I’ll let her...
Facebook Tip
I just figured out a neat little trick for Facebook. If you are like me and have more friends than you really care to keep up with, but don’t want to miss the posts from your close friends here’s a trick.
On the left side of the site there is a section to filter your news feed. It is populated by default with items such as “News Feed”, “Atlanta, GA” (your...
Flickr -> Facebook app →
I found this little gem last night. I always upload all my pictures to Flickr, then I used to upload them again to Facebook. I found this Facebook application that will allow you to selectively import your Flickr photos into Facebook albums. It saves a lot of time of re-uploading.
I like having all my pictures on Flickr for lots of reasons, but mostly because I can offer lots of sizes rather...

Panera Wifi
I can’t wait until more and more restaurants have free wifi. Panera has a great thing here, because lots of people know they offer free wifi so they come here to work and play. And while they are hear they might as well get something to eat, or at the very least a drink. Best part, is people like Mary and I that wanted to go somewhere with wifi just instantly default to Panera. I’m...

Productivity
What started out as a really productive Friday quickly desended into configuration hell. I have spent most of today trying to configure one little piece of software to play nice on my computer and on my server. It’s a pretty crucial part of my new startup so I really wanted it to work. I got it working on the server and was very tempted a few times to give up on getting it to run locally,...

Fantastic article, about a very interesting child entertainer. The man that makes over $100k a year working two days a week.
(warning: it’s SUPER long, but SUPER good)
The details are crazy

We’re hard at work on some really cool new software. It’s getting to the point where I can use the new stuff myself. And really enjoy it. But as we do this it becomes readily apparent just how big a task we bit off, and all the little details begin to emerge.
It’s fantastic and terrifying.
I can’t wait to have people start using this stuff.
TEASE! Let me help...
Use Twitter to RSVP to my ATL show this Saturday →
allisonweiss:
Trying out this new thing. I don’t think anyone is actually going to use it, but I’m thinking of creating a page on my website specifically for RSVPs via Twitter & Facebook. Who knows what could happen!!
Twtvite, a site my friend Felipe built, is getting used by one of my favorite tumblr/artists!
I’ve been checking out all the new iPhone features and really want to try writing an iPhone application. I am sure I can do it I just need an idea. I’ve racked my brain for something to build and have come up with nothing. So I ask you… Do you have any ideas? I’m willing to discuss parterships.
Giddy and nervous all at the same time
I am giddy and nervous all at the same time… I’ve been working on my first “big idea” now since I got down here to the lake, and I am getting really close to releasing it for beta testing. I just went through my check list and I am pretty sure I have all the functionality working (at least what I’m going to beta with), and have only to make everything pretty and put...

iPhone 3.0
Finally came out with when it will be available…. this summer :-( Which probably means July/August.

iPhone 3.0
Apple is announcing all sorts of cool new features for the next version of the iPhone software. I always get excited about these things until I find out it’ll be ~ 6 mo. until they are released. They haven’t said how long for this next version yet… fingers crossed.

TWOUBLE WITH TWITTERS.
A cartoon about how dumb TWITTER is….so i figured i’d tumblr it.
I co-wrote and voiced this cartoon for SUPERNEWS. The new season starts FRIDAY!
Jack Zerby told me about this.
While I’m sure this will eventually come back to haunt me, This is exactly how I feel about Twitter at the moment.
