Site relaunch coming soon

Hi everyone. It turns out that this will be more than a site redesign, it will be a whole new type of site. It won’t be run with WordPress, it’ll be run with Drupal. That will give you an idea of the scope of the changes that are going on. Watch here for more details. [...]


Has Twitter changed how we blog?

In the last few months since I started using Twitter, I found that if I wanted to throw an idea out to the ‘net, I could do so in 140 characters or less and get feedback from other people directly. This was a satisfying way of having a small, isolated conversation about a particular topic [...]


Who do we belong to?

A few months ago I was working on a blog post about data security which I never got around to finishing. This issue with Robert Scoble rekindled that. I’ll sum it up for those of you that don’t know: Robert was using a Facebook app to scrape data from Facebook so that he can use [...]


What I learned in 2007

Haven’t posted in a while

It’s been a LONG time since I posted anything. Pretty much because there hasn’t been anything to post about. Life is steady. Working on the house, raising kids, etc. The only exciting thing is that we’re tearing up the rugs, redoing the floors in some of the rooms, and putting down new rugs elsewhere. Even [...]


Yet another redesign

I hated the redesign I did a few weeks ago, so I worked on another…and another…and another…and another. I think I went through 9 site redesigns before I settled on this one. I’m still tweaking it, and IE6 screws it up a bit, but it works on a Mac and that’s all I care about.


Redesign

I decided to redesign the site. I realize this style isn’t the best, but it’s what I had to get out of my head. Yeah, it’s dark. Yeah, it’s not the best use of CSS. Yeah, it exceeds 800 pixels. I care this much: >CSS Vault, you realize just how bad your own site blows. [...]
