(*)Camp
Sunday, November 6th, 2005Who would like to help setup/organize an event like MindCamp or BarCamp in the Chicago-area?
I’ve been trying to figure out how I can get involved with an event like this and it finally struck me that I should try and organize it… Is there something like this going on? If so, [...]
“Geeky Things” That Don’t Do It For Me
Thursday, October 27th, 2005Anyone that knows me is aware that I love gadgets and geeky things in general. However, I thought it was time to share a quick list of things that either I don’t really know much about or don’t make me “all tingly inside”*:
- Science Fiction (excluding the occasional Star Wars viewing)
- Video Cards
- All [...]
Bubble 2.0
Saturday, October 22nd, 2005Matt points to the Bubble 2.0 Meme Map… :)
Preach On, Chris
Saturday, October 22nd, 2005Pirillo on the iPod, Microsoft and (well) Apple in general…
Apple’s winning this game for a reason, and it ain’t because they’re the cheapest option in town. Sex sells, Microsoft - so why are you hanging out with all the unsexy people? No other vendor will create an iPod killer because they will never own the [...]
Using del.icio.us Tags As Podcast Show Notes
Friday, September 30th, 2005As we all know, I’m a fan of podcasts. I wish I was more of a fan of doing my own podcast (or I should say, “had more time”?)… some day soon, i promise!

- Robert Scoble (from a message on the Braintrust Email List)
If you’re not familiar with Mr. Scoble (how can you not be?), feel free to check out the Wikipedia posting on him…
I <3 Google Maps
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005Not that I wasn’t a big fan of Google Maps before, but I’m loving the customizations that you can do with the Google Maps API.
Now I just need to find something cool to apply it to. Why is that always the hard part?
I Brake For Ruby
Friday, May 20th, 2005I just have to go out of my way to point out how cool the “Why’s (Poignant) Guide To Ruby” is. I almost get dizzy reading it, but it’s easily the most “fun” programming language manual I’ve ever seen.
If you’re looking to learn the most beautifully syntaxed programming language, look no further than Ruby. [...]
