Year: 2008

These four TVs show weather, news, stock market information, company profiles, and much more. These are in the ViddlerHQ lobby.

Ever since the day I began posting my photos to my site, rather than on a photo-sharing service like Flickr, I’ve had the desire to slowly bring all of my "stuff" onto my site rather than spread out through the Interwebs. As it stands I post what I’m currently doing to Twitter, I am testing…

The moment I saw how Pownce handled links to Flickr photos (here is my first Flickr photo that I Pownced) I knew I had to modify a script that I found and had modified for Twitter. The script would automatically "tweet" when I posted a photo to Flickr using my iPhone. The script isn’t anything…

Have you ever asked yourself why you belong to a particular service on the web? Perhaps you are the type of person that belongs to every single one, and so maybe a better question for you would be, why do you use one more than another? I recently gave Pownce a spin for a few…

You may have noticed over the past several weeks I’ve been twittering my weigh in numbers on Tuesdays. This is because since the end of November I’ve been back on the diet. Two factors spurred me to get back on the diet. The first was a trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with some friends to see…

Last night I had the privilege of representing Viddler on Net@Night, part of the TWiT Netcast Network, with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur. Recording episode 44 was a lot of fun. I hadn’t been on, or produced, a podcast in audio format in a very long time. Listen right here! We were able to cover…

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] What do geeks do when they have a little free time on their hands? They accessorize! On Sunday I found myself wanting to play with my iPhone’s camera. Since getting the iPhone, and even more since I because posting mobile photos to Flickr, I’ve wanted to try out new ways of distorting,…

Something I’ve wanted to do since launching the Photos section of my site was to offer each of them as backgrounds for iPhone. I’m happy to say that I’ve finally gotten around to doing just that. You’ll notice in the upper right hand corner of each photo’s page is a small icon of an iPhone.…

Basketball has been some part of my life, big or small, since I was very young. I’ve never been any good at it really, but that’s another story. As an early teen I would go to the elementary school playground in the morning and not return until it was dark. Summers came and went, meals…

Do you "follow" me on Twitter? If you do, then you definitely know that over the last few weeks I’ve been working on a video commenting plugin for WordPress powered by Viddler’s API. Update: This plugin is now available to everyone! I’m happy to announce that as of ten minutes ago, we’ve distributed a private-beta…

If you run a web service, I want you to take a moment to learn from the recent response by 37signals regarding their 2hours of downtime they had the other day. Here is what I said about it on my linklog. "37signals responds to downtime, perfectly. They start with an explanation of what happened, then…

Flickr is in a short list of my most-frequented, and favorite, web applications. That being said, once I setup my Photos section I began to only use my Flickr account to comment on my Flickr contact’s photos. Recently I decided that, instead of allowing my Flickr account to go to waste, I would use it…

While poking around my local news station’s web site this afternoon to see how much snow we’d be getting, and when it would fall, I managed to find a thoughtful nugget left by Tom Clark – the lead Meteorologist at WNEP. I thought I’d quote the entire thing here, because I think we can all…

When I launched the Photos section of this site in September 2007 (wow, time flies) I had said that I wanted to spruce up the index page once I thought I had published enough photos to make it look nice. "The index page is no where near completed but I wanted to have at least…

By now anyone that we’ve invited to watch the season premier of LOST with us this year has gotten their invitations in the mail. So it should be safe to write this post and make it public, I hope. Eliza and I wanted to invite a few of our friends over and I thought it’d…

So I couldn’t come up with an exciting way to tell you that I’m testing out Google Adsense on my blog for the months of January and February. Sue me. So here is how the ads work, why I’m doing it, and what my goals are. How my system of ad placement works I believe…
