Month: April 2007

  • The Day of Silence

    In case you had not heard, there was a call for a day of silence in the blogosphere out of respect for the folks who lost their lives in the Virginia Tech massacre. Personally, I posed the question to readers over at Outside the Beltway last week and received some very interesting opinions. I was…

  • NFL Draft Predictions

    Today is the first day of the NFL draft 2007 and I’ll be following it closely and doing a bit of live blogging over at Suicide Fan. In addition, we’ll cap the draft day 1 off with a podcast with David Kindervater, credentialed NFL press and podcaster, from NYC at the end of Round 1.…

  • 404: Yahoo Not Found

    A little geek humor for you on this dreary Friday afternoon. This photo was taken by Jeremy Kenning and posted to Flickr. Enjoy your weekend!

  • What's in the Toolbox?

    Everyone in any industry or career has a set of tools they use to do their job. My job is a little odd in that I have my hands in development as well as systems. A developer can say I use these sets of tools while a sysadmin has different needs. I have them all.…

  • Alexa's Irrelevance

    Matt is complaining about Alexa turning off their API, for all intents and purposes, and turning itself into a walled garden. My question is does it really matter? Does Alexa really matter? I love going to industry events and listening to PR people jibjab about Alexa rankings and using it as a metric of popularity…

  • I Really Screwed Up

    I really screwed up and before you all get mad at me, please accept my apologies. I just did the unthinkable, and something I have been angry at others for doing – I mass invited my entire Gmail address book to Facebook. Great, if you want to join and mark me as a friend, then…

  • Guesting on the WordPress Podcast

    I was privileged and honored to be asked to be on the WordPress Podcast Episode #23 with Charles Stricklin and David Peralty, which is online now. It was a long show and we talked about WordPress 2.2 future features, plugins, Google Summer of Code folks and of course, a nice little argument at the end…

  • Technosailor Version 7 Hits the Street

    I’m really, really happy right now because we’re begininning the three year anniversary celebration a little early here. Back in March, I started to discuss the possibility of a professional theme with the fantabulous Lisa Sabin. I gave her some of my ideas and in essence let her go to town creating something suitably professional…

  • Business Plan Series: Part 4 – Products and Services

    Last time we discussed what you should put in the company overview section and the different formats it may take depending on the stage of your company. In this part, Part 4, we will get at the heart of your company – its products and services. This section covers what you provide to customers and…

  • WordPress Plugin: Embargo Press Release

    I just got done hacking together a quick plugin that will allow you to generate an Embargo Notated version of an entry in the form of a Word Document. While this plugin won’t be for everyone, it is particularly effective for bloggers who “scoop” stories or who, perhaps, have product announcements.
