The more things change…

September 2, 2008 – 12:46 am

So, in anticipation of hopefully carving out time to write more article-length entries like my last one on Ubiquity, I’ve revamped the design on this blog and updated the colophon. I’m also hoping to post more short entries as well, and get this place revived again in general. Let me know what you [...]

Delicious 2.0 is more than a pretty new face

August 4, 2008 – 1:21 pm

I’m no longer at Yahoo! and I no longer work on Delicious, but I’m still a huge supporter. And, since I’m pretty sure everyone over there is either burnt out or still insanely busy at the moment, it might be awhile before anyone tells the full story of what this relaunch offers. As [...]

Markdown, Oh the Humanity

May 18, 2008 – 12:18 am

I use Markdown to write for this blog, and I don’t think I could write much online without it. (Of course, that’s not saying much lately—but nevermind that for now.) Although I do appreciate all the effort put toward enhancing <textareas> on the web, I’m not a fan of WYSIWYG writing interfaces. They hide [...]

Greatest Hits Vol. 2, the Babble Bits

April 26, 2008 – 1:21 pm

Following right on the heels of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is another volume, this time including the entries that were more made of babble or ramble and not so much with code. Again I welcome additions, comments, criticisms, and complaints. .entry-content ul li { font-style: italic; } .entry-content ul li a { [...]

Greatest Hits Vol. 1, the Tinkery Bits

April 26, 2008 – 12:53 pm

As you may have noticed, I’ve been shaking things up around here a little. Sorry for turbulence in the feeds! I’ve moved to a new server, and I’ve been trying out Movable Type again, but with mixed luck. Why? Because I’ve been using WordPress for a few years, and I felt like a [...]

An Accumulator for all my stuff

December 25, 2007 – 12:25 am

No one’s really noticed, but I’ve changed email providers about a dozen times in the past decade. And, that’s because my email address hasn’t changed — thanks very much to the wonderful and awesome Pobox.com. Likewise, I’ve hopped from platform to platform in blogging and writing and generally emitting memelets from my brain. In [...]

cheating on my “real” blog

November 12, 2007 – 8:00 pm

decafbad recaffeinated is what I’m so far calling the Tinderbox-built blog with which I’m cheating on both my OPML blog and my “real” blog. Come take a look, if you’re so inclined to watch another of my experiments. (Update: It’s recaffeinated, not recaffinated. I ar gud speler.)

it’s so quiet, time for an editorial calendar?

September 20, 2007 – 12:59 pm

Hmm. Time for this blogging cliché: Been awhile since last I posted here with any reliable volume. But, I’m thinking about whether another revamp of this place might get me going again. I’ve also considered making myself whip up an editorial calendar and actually commit myself to writing something on interesting [...]
