A D- For Twitter Interface Design
A D- For Twitter Interface Design posted 11 Jan ’08, 8.29am MST PST on flickr I challenge anyone to convince me they can regularly use this drop down menu in twitter to send direct messages. Try it yourself. This interface item contains all of the people I follow, but it is presented in some random […]

Meeting Cole
Finally Get to Meet Cole posted 9 Jan ’08, 8.52pm MST PST on flickr I’ve "known" Cole Camplese for a number of years, though we had yet to meet… He came to speak at Maricopa last May, and wouldn’t you know it, the same week i was at University of Mary Washington. So our "knowing" […]

Blog Danger Code Level Yellow
Blog Danger Code Level Yellow posted 6 Jan ’08, 10.31am MST PST on flickr Word choice on CogDogBlog has earned me a code yellow, Elevated: Tom Cruise might ask me for spare change. The Airbag Blog Advisory System was just quirky enough I had to take time and try. In these dark times you can […]

2008/366 SlideFlickred; Me, Y’all Too
Thanks to the precedent setting and helpful nudge of D’Arcy Norman (who did this last year), in 2008, I am pledging myself to take and post to flickr every day a photo that best captures what I as doing, or at least what I photographed that day.
As D’Arcy notes, it is not easy, but what it does is (I think) stretches your imagination and skills of photography.
So while you can find mine as 2008/366 photo set on flickr, the above slide show below was made with SlideFlickr a free web tool that “will help you create and embed Flickr slideshows in less than 10 seconds.” Slideflickr provides extra options, such as the music track. I went to ccMixter, a fab source for free music, where I rummaged a bit and chose this electronic remix: jaspertine lab sound 3.

Hoosgot… Lazyweb 2.0? Cool Concept!
Wish I had the productivity of Dave Sifry; in his announcement, in 48 hours he rolled out a nifty new twitter/blog crawl mashup called Hoosgot (aka “Who’s Got?”): a simple way to ask who’s got what you’re looking for. Just put “hoosgot” in a blog post or a Twitter tweet and it’ll show up here […]

Four out of Five Social Networks Surveyed Said…
Something that always gets my fur up is the blatant use of fishy language dressed up like “fact” or science. Last week when i was so idly bored (by choice) I was watching late night TV, and there were two different ads for things like “Gut Buster” or “Pilates Plus” – those ones where people […]

Unblanking the Page
Blank Page posted 12 Feb ’07, 12.18pm MST PST on flickr Mmm … what shall I create today? It’s probably not healthy that I awoke this morning, still shaking off the dream state, thinking I was writing a blog entry. Why dream about writing blog posts? Why not red sports cars, standing on mountains, that […]

Spam in a GMail Ocean
Even with a slew of slaughtered email spam and just about every message I have gotten for several years, my use of GMail’s space hovers around 0%: Some of this is likely because they quietly just upped everyone’s quote to 6 Megabytes, a whole lotta space indeed. The again Google is out there harvesting all […]
