Leonard Lin takes out the laundry. Lin decides not to sit idly by while "tech journalists" and "experts" tee off on some of the engineers and programmers behind a few of the more widely used social applications about "scaling issues". First, he speaks about Michael Arrington’s crack at Blaine Cook of Twitter.  In short, Arrington…

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/tech\_news/Not\_seeing\_your\_Twitter\_updates\_Here\_s\_the\_very\_simple\_fix‘; Over the past few days the number of Twitter statuses popping up from those I follow on Twitter have been scarce.  At first I thought it was because I was beta testing the latest version of Hahlo.  Then, I thought it was a problem with the API and so Twitterrific would also…

Why, oh, why did I ever stop reading John "RobotJohnny" Martz’s blog?  Somehow in my efforts to slim down my number of feeds, his site got the axe, and hasn’t returned – until today. John recently redrew his mother’s entire yearbook from 1968.  Or, at least the portraits therein.  I like how he described his…

In very early January I decided to run an experiment where I’d put Adsense on this site for a few months, not do anything differently than I normally would, and see how much a personal site could earn.  Although I only planned on having ads on this site for January and February, they were so…

[viddler id-79cb0e9a h-211 w-300] Leo Laporte recently went to Tasmania on a photography adventure. Sponsored by O’Reilly and Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure on the Australian island seemed to be a blast (and you can consider me jealous). Recently Leo went through his bag and showed off his photo kit that he…

Office space is always being redefined – this is no exception. A company in London has put their offices, which are somehow perched atop a building, inside what they call "tube carriages". I think they are trains or subway cars – but I suppose in London their called Tube Carriages. Learn something new every day.…

Kyle Slattery, Viddler’s Lead Social Developer, recently gave CakePHP a spin to see how it compared to Ruby on Rails – or at least how the MVC modularity of the two compared to each other. "Though CakePHP is lacking in a many areas where Rails really excels, I think it definitely has its place in…

Rob Goodlatte on letting go and not being so much of a perfectionist: "Stop being a perfectionist—just throw it out there and see what happens. It’s simple advice, but something that I’ve been ignoring for too long. Not every blog post will be your opus, not every design will be your masterpiece. Stressing over every…

Fun and interesting little conversation going on over at Jason Kottke’s blog where people are chatting about words they pronounce wrong on purpose. Eliza and I do this too so it is nice to see that we’re not alone. One example would be the word ‘mitta’ for miss. Like; "mitta you". Do you say any…

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…

Looking for a job? Might I suggest looking through the various Job Boards that have popped up over recent years? You might just find what you’re looking for. 37signals’ Job Board The 37signals’ Job Board is probably "the best one" right now. Currently there are offerings from such companies as Apple, Sony, Amazon, Best Buy,…

Blurb, seemingly, is a really great way to make books online using your digital photos. I haven’t tried it yet but if their site says anything about their company/books, I think you might enjoy what you get out of giving it a try. They also integrate with Flickr and are running a photo book contest…

Can you believe how far blogging has come over the last few years? I can’t. I could go on and on about the history of blogging, how I’ve used it over the years, and where it is now that I find really surprising – but instead I just wanted to take a moment or two…

Ironically you may be reading this note because you clicked on a link from my Twitter account. My site is setup to post links to Twitter, every 15 minutes, if there was a new post here on my site. I try to add a little context by adding the category before the Twitter status (e.g.…

Finally! Someone has made some progress in innovation of wine labels. This one allows for a peel away portion to help you remember the wine later on. I know that a lot of people carefully peel away wine labels, or do it "Catch me if you can" style, but now you won’t need to. Neat…

Rick Astley, interviewed by the LA Times, talks about "Rickrolling": "I think it’s just one of those odd things where something gets picked up and people run with it,” Astley said. “But that’s what brilliant about the Internet."

I just have to link to this. A reporter from the NY Times was assaulted for trying to take photos of people putting up illegal posters. Here is why the reporter isn’t pressing charges: "While my assailant’s actions were frightening, they resulted in part from what he interpreted as provocation: that is, my taking pictures…

Dominic Szablewski recently created a really simple blogging system called Asaph. "Over the past few weeks I developed Asaph – a small blogging system, that allows you to instantly post links and images directly from any page on the web." After watching the demo video, I really like how simple the tool really is. Now…

Richard Crowley, whom you may know as the Flickr guy behind the Flickr Uploader or perhaps from my Avalonstar miniPrix Kart racing video when I was in California last year for Wordcamp, has created a neat Fuse filesystem for Pownce. Essentially what this does is creates a "drive" on your computer that holds each of…

I’m not sure if her intent was to have the same, yellowish hue across all of the photos but I think it adds something to them. They all feel warm, even though the weather seems cold. Also of note: I’ve been to New York City and somehow she’s found a few perspectives I’ve never been…

Mike, from Project Pedal a video blog about a documentary, after being featured on Viddler by me, does a really great analysis of his experiences on various video sharing sites including YouTube, Blip, Viddler, and Vimeo.

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…

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…
