“Are those two chicks making out?”

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

Here’s a random list of things I learned while attending the Naperville Bloggers outing tonight: - “Lawrence Lessig-ish” is an adjective - You can have “food hangovers”. Rick has been affected by bbq in the past while Kris has had a bad experience with shrimp - I have an eagle-eye for lesbians making out on the street. [...]

This is a public comment to Mike over at ocomik.net. I couldn’t get your comment form to work so I figured I’d share my response to your latest post with everyone…

“I’m sure that if your wrote an API within Ruby, changed the name to spell out something ending in “.us”, tied Flickr into it [...]

Bloglines is my co-pilot

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect RSS Reader/News Aggregator for probably the last, oh, several years… The biggest problem is that I go between two different computers (using a Windows machine for my work life and a Powerbook for my personal life).

The news aggregators that I’ve used in the past have [...]

Playing with “tags”

Monday, January 17th, 2005

Tom started doing something very interesting this past weekend that he learned from Sean Bonner.

If you have a weblog (or contribute to several weblogs), you’ve probably thought to yourself:

“What if there was one site that aggregated all of my postings that I make across various weblogs?”

Feed On Feeds is a server-side personal RSS aggregator.

Feed On Feeds sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Feed On Feeds is what I’ll probably be installing tonight.

If this product is as good as it seems, I will be very very happy.

Thanks to Steven Frank for the heads-up on this utility…

Back Off Comment Spammers!

Monday, October 13th, 2003

There has been a ton of spam coming through the comments of this site (as well as many others that I read)…

Ben Trott posted some information about fighting this new type of spam that is hitting people with weblogs over at the SixLog site. He mentions that in MovableType Pro (no word on an [...]

TypePad Launches Today

Monday, August 4th, 2003

TypePad, the latest weblogging “platform” (or is it really an “application”?) from the folks at SixApart (who also brought you MovableType), has been released to the public today… There is some really cool functionality in there that is quite tempting…

The only thing is that I really enjoy the fact that my MovableType installation is [...]
