  • Water Cooler Entries

    This is a new feature that I’m using, commonly called Asides. I’m calling it the Water Cooler as it’s chit-chat stuff. Basically, they will be brief entries to stories I find interesting or random thoughts I have. They are, in theory, outside of the realm of the normal blog flow which is more topical.

  • Wikilobbying

    Colbert continues to knock it out of the park. Reality has become a commodity. :-)

  • WordPress Custom Fields Contest

    Update: This contest has been extended to March 30, 2007. There is an often-overlooked aspect of WordPress that adds functionality that is more geared to a Content Management System than a blogging platform. And that’s why, perhaps, the world’s #1 blogging software finds that many users don’t really use Custom Fields. I think that’s a…

  • WordPress Trunk

    It probably interests no one but me, but I’m becoming more of an SVN ninja. It took me days to figure out how to setup a web accessible SVN server with appropriate web, svn and filesystem permissions (i.e. this repository is world readable, but can only be written to by me). I’ve been using SVN…

  • Timecapsule Plugin 1.0.3

    A few of you have been asking me about when Timecapsule (initially released on Problogger) would be WordPress 2.1 compliant. The time is now and not yet. For those who wish to download and test (please do!), you can do so via SVN: 1svn co http://svn.b5media.com/svn/timecapsule/trunk Or download the nightly. I am looking to take…

  • Andy McKee

    Thanks to Dan Wilt for turning me onto Andy McKee. I immediately went and purchase Andy’s music on iTunes.

  • Startup Truths: There is no Time or Money

    I was reading Matt Mullenweg’s post about an interview that Robert Scoble recently had with Jonathon Schwarz of Sun in which it seemed Sun continued to be disconnected with reality. With respect, Schwarz responded and apologized for the perception that Sun presented. (As a sidenote, the comments on Schwarz’ entry are quite good). Matt makes…

  • WordPress 2.1 Gotchas

    I figured I’d follow up my 10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.1 with another useful post. The reality is that there were bound to be discoveries by the masses after the launch and over the past few days, this assumption has been borne out. The really tech savvy among us and those who…

  • Social Networking Trends: Social Travel

    Social travel is a new movement in the travel sector that is taking advantage of the Web 2.0 concept. Just in case you’re not familiar with Web 2.0, the first round of web technologies, Web 1.0, was mostly read-only, while Web 2.0 is enabled for massive read-write capabilities. Two things make this possible: rich web…

  • Why Do You Blog?

    There’s an interesting survey available over at Why Do You Blog. Taking the survey makes you eligible to win an iPod Shuffle. Since my iPod is broke (I discovered a smashed LCD screen when I went to listen to it on the plane), I could use the Shuffle.
