Announcing: reminderss – retro browsing for the rss reader era! Last week I launched a small project – http://reminderss.com/. This is both a utility that I wanted for my own browsing and also a project to learn ruby on rails. If it’s something that I can use, chances are a few others can also use […]
This happens (surprisingly) quite a bit (and I know it happens to some of my friends too). What do you do when you’ve run out of Internet? I’ve read all my rss (bloglines) feeds, checked in on my fantasy sports teams, browsed flickr (no new pics from friends), browsed upcoming (no new events), scanned del.icio.us […]

Last weekend I read the book “Now, Discover Your Strengths” and took the online test to discover my Strengths. The results were very accurate and I'm quite excited by them! It's great to see verification of what I'd maybe guessed to be true. And, good news, I think my strengths definitely align with the field […]
Great! You've created a new, cool application that enables your team to do X! Everyone loves you for about a day, but then things change. Now you have to support it. Now you have to perform upgrades. Now you have to appease people who are complaining that X takes too long (even though X wasn't […]
