Hello Google Reader
I know what you might be thinking. You’re probably thinking: "Isn’t he the guy that said…" … my main reason for not using some of the most popular web applications has been because I can not use them offline. I am a firm believer in having all of my data available to me at anytime.

In a way, we’re all related
I have a huge list of things I’d like to have on my personal site but can rarely find the time or energy to implement many of them. Recently though I was able to scrape together enough of both to add two very subtle things that I’ve wanted to see on the site for a

One crazy day in San Francisco
Today I’m working out of the offices of Ma.gnolia, in downtown San Francisco, and it is turning out to be quite a day! This morning I was, finally, able to begin uploading some video from WordCamp onto Viddler. I noticed I was having a few hiccups while doing so, but wasn’t sure where the problem

WordCamp 2007 – Day one
The first day of WordCamp 2007 sucked. But only for me. I ended up getting really, really sick in the early afternoon and had to go back to where I am staying for rest. What started out as a headache earlier in the day quickly progressed into just feeling horrible! Fantastic weather! However, the entire

WordCamp 2007 – Day two
I suppose I might as well semi-live blog the second day of WordCamp. (Somehow, this post has been dugg, you’ve been warned.) 10:45am – The first session of the day HyperDB and High Performance WordPress lead by Barry Abrahmson and Matt Mullenweg focused on making WordPress run smoothly when dealing with high traffic sites or

Geoff DiMasi – honest, hard working, and generous
Over the years I’ve met up with many people that turned out to be insincere or bogus. In fact, I’ve even fit this description at times. Often, though, this reality isn’t apparent until after initial contact. Example: You meet someone at a party/event and it seems as though you really connect with this person, or

I’m going to WordCamp
As you can see from this list of attendees I won’t be alone either! WordCamp looks like it is shaping up to be a really great weekend jammed full of great information. I’ll be in San Francisco from Friday evening until Tuesday morning. I’m looking forward to meeting up with all of the WordCamp attendees

Weigh in: Week Fifty Nine
The last time I weighed in, nearly a month ago, I weighed in at around 187 pounds. I’ve gained nearly 4 pounds since that time and I now weigh 191.2 pounds. Here is where my excuses come flying in. I rolled my ankle really, really badly a few weeks ago and it is actually still

Recollecting BlogPhiladelphia
If I had a dime for everytime someone asked me why I lived in Pennsylvania, instead of somewhere not so "behind the times" like Silicon Valley, I’d probably have a free cup of coffee. But this past week’s BlogPhiladelphia unconference flies in the face of the misnomer that Pennsylvania is indeed "behind the times". The

BlogPhiladelphia – Day 2
10:00am – Breakfast was again served in the main ballroom. Bagels, orange juice, coffee, cranberry juice, etc. Good stuff. Who is sponsoring the breakfasts? Thanks to them for doing so (if you know, put it in the comments). This morning kicked off with Alex Hillman, of Independents Hall, and Doug Bellenger, of PhindMe.mobi talking about

BlogPhiladelphia – Day 1
9:00am – Free breakfast always tastes better doesn’t it? I’m sitting at the front most table at BlogPhiladelphia in the Grand Ballroom at the Radisson-Warwick Plaza hotel. Call me the teacher’s pet, but I wanted a good seat. You can watch my twitter and my flickr for updates throughout the day as well. Update: Dave

BlogPhiladelphia – Day 0
10:00am – I’m going to be "live blogging" the BlogPhiladelphia experience starting today and into Friday. Unlike my previous live blogging attempts I am going to split this experience up by day. Tomorrow is day one of BlogPhiladelphia so today must be day zero! I’m aiming to leave for Philadelphia around 4pm, get a haircut,

Goin, goin, back, back to Philly, Philly
Cira Center – Philadelphia, PA – Circa April 2006 This Wednesday evening through Friday evening I’ll be in Philadelphia attending Blog Philadelphia. I’m looking forward to this conference for many reasons – the first of which is because it is in my home state! The schedule looks promising with there being plenty of time for

Syncing bliss with the iPhone
[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Something I was worried about with Eliza and I both getting iPhones was syncing. She has data, I have data, we have data! How would I be able to manage keeping all of this data in sync between our two computers and the iPhones without forcing her to only sync her iPhone

Thoughts on the iPhone
Before I begin gushing about the iPhone I have to mention, especially for those of you that do not have one yet, that you can win one of two free 8Gb iPhones that we’re giving away over at Viddler just for doing simple MeToday videos. Each video you do (one per day per person) is
