In response to: PHP, MySQL, and Contact Management: Contacts 0.1 by Jon Christopher
How is this for a long title? My friend Jon Christopher is asking for some feedback on a little side project he is working on. I thought I’d duplicate my comment I made on his post in hopes that if any one that reads this would be interested in following this project too. So if…

I don’t write enough
I’ve said this before; I wish I was a better writer and that I did it more often. Those that follow me on Twitter would probably wish the opposite, but I still would love to publish more here on my site. This is just a quick rant, written on my iPhone which is less conducive…

Problems with WiFi routers
The next knot in my string of technological woes lately is the problems that I’ve been having with my WiFi routers. I just can’t seem to ever setup something reliable! The problems with my routers began a few years ago with some old, crappy, blue router that I actually can’t remember where I got it…

Epson: \”We waste ink.\”
[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Take this with a grain of salt because the issue(s) we’ve had with our Epson printer lately were, more or less, the straw on the camels back. During this same time we were helping a friend with his iPhone. Eliza and I have an Epson Stylus CX4800. We don’t print very often…

Regarding Windows Vista and iPhone
My friend Matt, a fan of all things Apple and future switcher, owns a laptop. Actually it is a tablet-PC and has all of the latest hardware and software including a 64bit processor and gobs of RAM. Though my blood runs thick with Mac-cells, I know a good piece of hardware when I see it,…

About the new Photos section
You may have noticed a new section of this Web site called Photos. This section is something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. I remember when I first signed up for, and uploaded to Flickr I thought I’d use that as my "photolog". Over the last 3 years and 11 days…

Why I’m going to see Dragon Wars tomorrow
I love good movies. I’m sure you do too. But, I also like really bad movies. So much so that my friend Chris and I sometimes rent movies that we know are rated by critics and movie-goers as being absolutely not worth the time to watch. 2007 Movie of the Year I believe Dragon Wars…

What I learned at Podcamp Philly 2007
Being a community evangelist for a video sharing site isn’t easy business given the current market. It can sometimes be a real challenge to determine what, if anything, about Viddler someone would like to hear. Sure, I think nearly every feature of Viddler is great – that doesn’t mean you will, or she will, or…

The Independents Hall Grand Opening Party
Arriving in Philadelphia on September 1st, quite possibly one of the nicest days I’ve experienced all year, I knew I was in for something special. Bright blue skies filled with cool, crisp late summer air – it was the type of weather that you remember for quite awhile. View more photos from Indy Hall. Independents…

Weigh in: Week Sixty Six
I did, in fact, weigh myself on time this week – I just haven’t been able to find the time to write it up! This week I was within .3 pounds of my last weigh in so, I suppose I wasn’t overly excited to let you all know about it. When I’m away from home…

Weigh in: Week Sixty Five
As I was approaching the scale this morning I was a little scared at what I might see. Although I did fairly good this week (side note: I did a few MealToday videos so you can see what I ate at least 2 of the days for lunch) yesterday was our 8th wedding anniversary and…

An exciting day at ViddlerHQ
Due to geographic and scheduling limitations I only get down to ViddlerHQ once every few weeks. We’re working hard to change that for the near future – but historically because of scheduling conflicts there just isn’t someone at ViddlerHQ every single day of the week. All of that aside: When the Viddler team gets together…

Weigh in: Week Sixty Four
Five weeks ago, when I weighed in at 191.2 pounds, I said "Time for a shift back to doing well with regards to food and hopefully I can get back to my normal exercise routine very soon. My goal for next week is to be down 2 pounds.". The goal came and went and due…

One possible benefit from disabling comments
There has been an ongoing discussion as to whether or not blogs should always have comments enabled to allow its readers to be part of the conversation. I myself firmly believe that each blog post should be thought of as a starting point of, or a response to, a conversation. Some deal with this issue…

Giving abusers the silent treatment
The subject of abuse comes up almost daily at Viddler. Whether we’re flagging videos as violations of copyright law, discovering users who try to distribute full films, etc. were always discussing ways of suppressing abuse. Turns out that other services have similar problems of dealing with abuse on a daily basis. San Francisco-based Ma.gnolia doesn’t…

One crazy day in Bethlehem
Yesterday was a huge day in the history of Viddler. So many different things ended up converging onto one another to end up creating one crazy day in Bethlehem. (Yes, I realize this sounds like a movie by Kevin Smith about the day Jesus was born.) I knew I’d be going to ViddlerHQ to giveaway…

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…
