Sameer Barkawi, actor My good friend Sameer Barkawi, who has been writing on TUG.n a little lately, has wrapped up shooting on what will be his movie debut. Sameer plays a homeless man. When Sameer came to visit us last month his hair was getting really long (not too much of a surprise if you…

The eBay Ink blog is a really snazzy looking corporate blog for eBay, Inc. Doing some digging I see they are using WordPress for their site, but they lack the "powered by" link anywhere in the sidebar and/or footer. Source: eBay Ink » an inside look at the wide world of eBay, Inc..

As I work on the next version of my site’s design, which is coming along quite nicely I might add, I figured now would be a good time to take a stroll through the hallways of Colin Devroe Design, Inc. and look at some of the designs of my site that had never made it…

Ever since Viddler announced that Tubemogul now supported Viddler as a distribution point, we’ve been seeing this more and more. People that upload their video to every single video sharing site in order to gain exposure for their show, product, etc. etc. I get the point. I see the strategy. And, I can’t really blame…

Sameer Barkawi, friend and fellow geek, provides a list of things for you to do besides seeing the movie 10,000 B.C. "1. Donate bone marrow. 2. Drink 2 gallons of milk in a single sitting. 3. Become an attack dog chew toy. 4. Host amateur acting workshops in your own home. 5. Join the Polar…

You may have noticed a few new categories here lately. I’ve been making a few adjustments, tweaks, additions, and edits to this site since making my goal to bring everything together here. Here is how things are going down now, how each category will be used, and what the next steps are. Notes have been…

Now you may navigate this site using your iPhone and/or iPod touch easier than ever before. Using the iwPhone plugin and theme, this site will now automatically display in an easy to use format when navigating the site using your iPhone and/or iPod touch. A few of this site’s features are missing, of course, but…

When I launched the photos section last September, I knew I’d be making incremental updates to how the site handled, displayed, and aggregated them compared to normal posts. I’ll be doing the same thing with mobile photos. Starting today, mobile photos that used to show up on my Flickr account, will now be on my…

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…

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…

Photo credit: Austin Baker (zoom) It is a question that has been passed down from generation-to-generation. Scholars and philosophers have lost sleep, blood, sweat, and tears to find the answer but have been as yet unsuccessful. Until now. My friend Austin Baker has setup a site where the people can vote on this issue. We…

I love watching the trends of the traffic on my blog; even if said traffic is not that high. In fact, I think it is much easier to monitor my site’s traffic trends then it is for us at Viddler because I’m able to keep a much closer eye on even the smallest of trends.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

[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…

5:30am – Good morning! I’m going to live blog my entire day. Eliza, my friend Matt, and I are heading to the King of Prussia mall’s own Apple Store to meet up with Rob to get in line for our iPhones. I hope to leave by 6:30am. 10:08am – Probably 40th in line at the…

So everyone is sick of hearing about the iPhone right? Well, everyone except those of us that are planning on getting one. Recently though I’ve seen some people saying that they don’t know why I am getting an iPhone, why I’m willing to pay so much money, why I’m getting the first version, and some…

Hello, Skitch! Well, that was fun. I feel like all that I’ve been doing over the last few days is giving out Skitch invites and inviting more people to try it! I think we should back pedal a little to explain what exactly happened and why I’m surprised at the response. Ever since I got…

One of the most difficult things about building a software product is dealing with feature requests. They come from everywhere. At Viddler we’ve got a forum specifically for jotting down feature ideas, because we all realize that people will have really great ideas on how Viddler could be of use to them. Then, and I…

Three hundred and sixty five days. Fifty two weeks. Twelve months. One year. No matter how it is said I can’t believe how far we’ve come. How much we’ve learned and lost and how excited I am to start another year! Over the last few weeks I’ve had hundreds of ideas for how I’d write…

Tomorrow, Wednesday April 25th, I’ll be heading to New York City to attend the NY Video 2.0 April Meetup. Rob will be giving a presentation on Viddler and three other presenters will be demoing some of their stuff. I’m looking forward to all of the presentations, but mostly I look forward to making Rob laugh…

My weigh ins are going to become less and less exciting (as if they were riveting before right?) because I think my weight will begin to plateau now that I’m sub-190lbs and I’m actively working out. So instead of just covering the amount of gain/loss each week I’ll also toss in some of my other…

I’ve already mentioned this on The Viddler Blog – I had the privilege of representing Viddler on The Vloggies while at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. We talked about how I got Scobleized and Viddler. Watch the show below (if you are in a feed reader come to my site). Me on the Vloggies.…

Justin Blanton has taken the time to give Slugger (a plugin for WordPress that I wrote to allow you to edit your post’s slug from outside of the WordPress administration area) an overhaul. He took the time to write what he did, and didn’t like, about the plugin and why he chose to fix it.…

Fourty weeks! Though I didn’t manage to weigh in every single week for the last forty weeks, I did manage to do so for over 25 of them. I really can not believe that we’ve hit the forty week mark already. This week was a fairly good diet and exercise week. I wish I had…

The warm evening sunlight shone through the shades and cast patterns on the office furniture. Eight padded chairs with wooden arm-rests lined the white walls. A small round table with a green leafy plant on it set in the corner with some assorted magazines that were so neatly stacked you could tell no one ever…

So Chris, Mike, Matt, Eliza and I headed to Philadelphia for the Webloggers meetup as well as other activities. This meetup was kind of bittersweet for me since there was so many people that attended it wasn’t possible to get even just a few minutes with each person to "meetup". When we first arrived Jen…

As you may already know, I like Frostys. Though my opinion is that not every Frosty is created equal; meaning that some Frostys are good and some are not so good. It is always a [crap shoot](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crap shoot) when buying a Frosty. One day you get a Frosty that will literally knock your socks off…

I’ve finally had the chance (over this past weekend) to update my site a little. After fiddling with a few ideas that I had I got to thinking that I’d just grabbing a free theme and that working off of it would help save me some time, effort, and a whole lotta headaches. It turned…

Such as things like this usually go for me, I had put my wallet somewhere I normally wouldn’t have and so I was unable to find it until this morning. To start though, I owe Eliza, Chris, and the kids that were at the Rec-center that day – an apology. Eliza I really thought that…

If you’ve been around awhile, you’ll no doubt remember the lightning photos from last May. Hard to believe it was so long ago. Well I was digging through some video and I found the video that Eliza had taken while I took these photos of the lightning. Although the majority of the video is a…

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Wow I’ve never really "lost" anything before. I’ve misplaced things in the past, I’ve pulled my hair out trying to find something, but eventually nearly everything I’ve ever "lost" has turned up somewhere. Not this time. On Sunday morning I discovered that I was wallet-less. On Saturday the last time I can…

My question about iTunes can be found on TheUberGeeks. If you know of the answer, post it there, since it will allow others to benefit from your infinite hacking skills. My other issue is of where some of my posts belong. As most of you know I write for TUG.n and have since starting it…

For those of you that do not know, I’m filling in over at Viddler as a Community Evangelist for awhile. We’ve been making great progress so far, and today I’m heading down to Viddler’s headquarters in Bethlehem, PA (about an hour and half from our apartment). You can look at my profile over on Viddler,…

I was able to weigh myself however. I was 190.2 pounds on Tuesday morning. You might say: "Some diet this guy is on, he keeps going up and down, up and down!". For me, that is the sign of a diet and exercise program that is working, not failing. I do not want to lose…

Google recently announced the release of their patent search. I thought I’d do a little sniffing around to see what I could find and to my surprise I stumbled onto this patent for a "Finger puppet". In June 2003 Eliza, Chris, and I went to Niagara Falls. We had a great time even though I…

While doing some dishes today I thought of starting a "meme" of sorts. How could I capture the reasons why I think I’ve been successful on the diet and help to encourage those who have not, or who have yet to start their diet. I’ve come up with these five questions, and hopefully my answers…

Andrew, Chris, Mike, and I appreciate the Wendy’s Frosty. Eliza does too but she thinks the vanilla is good so we’ll leave her out of this discussion. We have a few Wendy’s "near" us. One is in Dickson City (about 10-15 minutes away) and one in Clarks Summit (about 20-25 minutes away)*. Both of which…
