What I want in a Twitter application

May 27, 2009

After yesterday’s PeopleBrowsr announcement, I started looking around for an “ideal” Twitter client. In terms of features, here’s what I came up with (beyond the baseline Twitter features). They are ordered by importance. Groups Ok, here’s my dirty little secret about Twitter, I don’t read everyone that I follow all the time. – gasp -. [...]

WSJ on the iPhone

April 16, 2009

The Wall Street Journal launched their iPhone App today, officially showing the NYTimes how a newspaper app ought to work. I love both papers, but man, is the Times sloooooow. The NYTimes app is astonishingly bad. In the time it takes to update, it should be saving all articles locally, which it does not. Fortunately, [...]

Ignite Seattle’s Triumphant Return

April 15, 2009

After it’s globe stomping success, Ignite Seattle returns to Seattle on April 29, 2009. From its humble beginnings here in Seattle, Brady and Bre’s 5 minute talks, with auto-advancing slides (aka a night out at the bar with geeks) has expanded to a world wide phenomenon (and a show from O’Reilly). There have been Ignite [...]

What is Boxbe?

April 14, 2009

The company I’ve been working on for the last couple of years is Boxbe, an email overload tool that works with Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail and Google Apps. Here’s a three minute video that I created some time ago to better explain what Boxbe does and how it might be able to help save [...]

SXSWi 2009 – Happy Cog’aoke Party Pix

March 19, 2009

So, as I was planning a separate post about the parties at SXSW I realized that it would be dominated by one as I had the most fun taking pictures of folks at Happy Cog’s karaoke party. I’ve done karaoke (badly) and I’ve taken photos at parties before, but this party was special as they [...]

SXSWi Keynotes in Pictures

March 19, 2009

I upped my photographic game this year with some new camera gear in hopes of documenting SXSWi as best I could. Here are some of my favorites from the keynotes from this year. Tony Hsieh (and his Zappos crew) want YOU to have good customer service. Kathy Sierra and Gary Vaynerchuck Gary Vee of Wine [...]

SXSWi People and Panels

March 10, 2009

There are numerous ways in which you can build your SXSWi Schedule this year including Sched, cerado ventana and the main SXSW site. But one thing missing from all of this is a good way to look at the folks who are on a given panel. I made a little spreadsheet that has the panels [...]

Jon Stewart on Twitter

March 3, 2009

My wife got a kick out of this. Perhaps I should be paying more attention to what she says rather than telling all of you on Twitter. So, does this officially make Twitter mainstream?

Northern Voice 2009 – Vancouver’s Finest

February 23, 2009

I went to my first Northern Voice 2 years ago after meeting up with some of the organizers at the previous year’s Gnomedex and thinking, “hey, these guys are all right.” Northern Voice is one of my favorite conferences to go to because despite it’s small size, it attracts a wealth of interesting, insightful people [...]

Photo “ownership”

January 9, 2009

Hey everybody, look at me, look at me (or rather look at Vanessa). A pic of mine appeared on CNN yesterday. While it was uncredited (and unlinked), my personal photography policy dictates that the subject of the photo can do with it what they like. Only fair, I suppose, as it brings up all sorts [...]

Gnomedex 2008 Aftermath

August 25, 2008

Actually, other than being tired from having a four week old child at home and shooting 1000 pictures (thankfully, I didn’t post all of them), this year’s Gnomedex was distinctively lacking in an aftermath. No controversy (I think) and lots of great speakers, ideas and attendees wrapped this year’s meetup into the best Gnomedex yet. [...]

Wordcamp SF 2008 Follow Up

August 19, 2008

Had a great time at this year’s Wordcamp in San Francisco. I met a lot of great people and had a lot of great conversations and I think, got some pretty decent photographs of the event. I did have some mixed feelings about the event, but I recognize that creating a low cost, high quality [...]
