I wasn’t actually able to take in any of this live last week, but the amazing power of Twitter can do a reporter’s work for them. Take a look at the first-hand accounts of people who felt the earthquake last [...]

April 24, 2008

I came across this service a little earlier in the week and can’t wait to give it a try! It is quite possibly the first real competitor to Akismet for community spam filtering and control. The Drupal community is all up in arms with praise for the beta-service.
Sometime next week I think I’ll toss it [...]

How I Exercise My Mind

April 23, 2008

Because I’m constantly connected to real people as well as the Internet it can be difficult sometimes to keep your mind sharp and on focus. I’m not perfect in that regard, that’s for sure. But I do try to keep a fairly clean calendar with important events and conversations.

April 21, 2008

This weekend I got the chance to sit down and read some of the huge stack of magazines that I previously hadn’t had time to read. I certainly didn’t make it through all of them, but a couple caught my eye. One of the most recent ones is the April 28th edition of Business Week.

April 19, 2008

Today’s post has two different themes, 1) a change in blog format and 2) my job search.
