fnokd!

Over thanksgiving, my brother loaned me a Nikon D100. This is my first foray into digital photography beyond using my shoephone’s camera to take blurry snapshots of strange supermarket items.
Sending photos to Flickr, I’m finding I’m going to exceed the limits of their free-ride accounts. My first thought was “oh, I should go [...]

Brian Topping had the foresight to bring his digital SLR and document the Oof Uncamp gathering last Tuesday evening. Attendees included some current and ex-ThoughtWorkers (Paul Hammant, Kurt Schrader), some guy from Ning (Brian McCallister), a cow-orker (Pete Royal) and a VP of something-or-another at Yahoo! (Sam Pullara). Plus our intrepid photo-historian, Brian [...]

Wow.
I’m finally home after a trip to San Francisco to meet my co-workers. It truly was surreal, in that I’ve been working for The Job for about a year, and had never met a co-worker, aside from Pete. When I joined, the team was 3 other people, and we were all in different [...]

It has been decided that tonight, 12 September, the Codehaus Oof Uncamp will happen at Zeitgeist, in San Francisco. It’s cash-only, so bring some Benjamins. I’ll buy the first round or two.
Update: 7pm is the time to collide.

My luxurious jet-set lifestyle is taking me to the San Francisco area in a week. September 10th through the 14th, I’ll be in the general area of all things 2.0. I’m truly excited to finally get to meet my coworkers. Yes, I’ve worked for Radar Networks for just about a year now. [...]

My Day-Job has been secreted behind a wall of secret secrecy. It still is. But we have a new website tonight. There’s a tad more information than previously disclosed, but only a little. You can learn a little bit about our investors and our management team. Meanwhile, we’re still [...]

Today I had the good fortune to shoot the breeze with Mike Loukides at O’Reilly.  He’s working on a new model at O’Reilly, doing less expensive, smaller, and more up-to-date PDF publishing.  I think this is an excellent idea.  The 37signals guys have certainly done well with their PDF publishing, and you simply can’t argue [...]

Through the kick-ass efforts of Ben Walding (pictured left with his, um, jaffles iron…) and major assists by Contegix, sanity has started to return to the haus. All repositories are capable of being open for business, pending the project despots decision. So, if CVS/Subversion is missing, go bug the project lead.
We’ve got all [...]

Today, a friend of mine asked me write an endorsement for him on LinkedIn. I hadn’t been to LinkedIn in a while, so surfed around for a tad, and noticed a new feature. LinkedIn lets you know the localities of your network. As you can see here, I’ve got links to the [...]

Today, being a lazy Sunday, I surfed over to 37Signals and picked up a copy of Getting Real. I know I’m a few weeks late on this meme, but I truly enjoyed the book.
On the surface, after reading 177 pages, you could easily think that there was nothing concretely useful in the book. [...]
