Geeky Costume Contest – Win an iTunes Gift Certificate
So, what are you geeks doing tonight? There’s gotta be some nerdy costumes out there I need to see…I want YouTube videos, Flickr photos, all that Web 2.0 stuff. As such…
Go Outside. (Or, “5 People Who Get It”)
Demetri Martin once said (and still says), “I want to make a jigsaw puzzle with 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says: Go outside.
That stuff that people put on their walls in the 70s.

My Personal Prioritizing Formula
A problem that I’m sure all web developers, entrepreneurs, and internet geeks alike all share is deciding which projects to work on. You’ve got the client work, your latest blog post, that sweet JavaScript widget, your latest Rails app…How to choose?
A Happy 1st Year of Blogging

So stay tuned.
Webvisions
Just signed up for Webvisions last night, it’s gonna be awesome (and in Portland, to boot). If you’ve been thinking about going, now’s the time to sign up–today is the last day for the early bird discount (and students get even more off). I’ve been looking through the schedule and here’s what is lookin’ good to me at the moment:
The problem with JavaScript frameworks
Before I get flamed, let me clarify–I like frameworks. I use frameworks. This site’s JavaScript is run on Prototype and Script.aculo.us. The problem is, JavaScript isn’t just JavaScript anymore.
Jump-starting your blog
As I mentioned today on my other blog, I’ve been helping a couple different people start up their own blogs. But it seems that as soon as one gets their own blog, they’re almost always thinking about one thing: Building readership.
