Month: September 2009

  • I <3 Google Chrome Frame

    Google Chrome Frame is an early-stage open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome’s open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer. With Google Chrome Frame, you can:

    • Start using open web technologies – like the HTML5 canvas tag – right away, even technologies that aren’t yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8.
    • Take advantage of JavaScript performance improvements to make your apps faster and more responsive.
  • Business Card Winners

    Business Cards

    Last month, I announced I was partnering with UPrinting for a business card giveaway. The two lucky winners are  Brandon Sheats and Dave Bonds. A representative from UPrinting will be getting in touch with you two about how to redeem your prize.

    UPrinting does a lot more than business cards and die cut business cards. Whether you need flyers, brochures, posters, banners, or even bookmarks, you can’t beat what UPrinting has to offer. Check out their full line of products.

    Thanks to everyone who entered!

  • Why 09/09/09 is so special. I admit it: the only reason I’m posting this is to see the datestamp next to the post here on my site. It is a rather fascinating read, though.

  • SiteSprint – A launch in progress.

    Well, I didn’t get everything implemented yet, but I at least wanted to get the homepage live by today. I had hoped to have more done by now but with everything I’ve got going on it just wasn’t going to happen. There is still a lot of cleanup work that still needs to be done. It probably won’t be completed until the weekend, but I’ve at least made most areas of the site somewhat usable. I’ll have a more thorough post detailing my approach available in the next few days.

    Right now, the most pressing issue is getting comments cleaned up. After that, it’ll just be a matter of going in and adding details, simplifying where it makes sense, etc.

    Me and my site have needed a kick in the ass for some time. The Site Sprint was just the excuse I needed to work on it. I can’t thank my friends Bryan Veloso and Greg Newman for encouraging this idea. I’ve also got to thank Anton Peck, Kyle Fox and so many others for being so inspirational with their own sprint attempts. Being able to chat with and collaborate with such amazing talent made this whole experience epic. We’ll definitely do this again, though the idea of trying to reboot a personal project within a month again seems a bit insane at this point.
