Exporting Textile2 Content with WordPress
A friend of mine approached me recently to help him out. He had tons of archives in his WordPress blog that had been created using the Textile2 plugin. Textile is a form of markup that is wiki-like. In other words, it’s not straight HTML. The Textile2 plugin interprets the markup and renders HTML that browsers…

Screenshots from WordPress 2.7
The upcoming release of WordPress is around the corner, and we’ll be covering the things you will need to know about it, as we always do. However, this is such a big release (game changer, at that!) that I wanted to tease you with some screenshots. I’ll let your imagination run wild (and you can…

Obama Web Exec Watch: ICANN Board Member Joins FCC Transition Team
In case there is any doubt about Obama’s committment to forward thinking web technologies and tapping some of the minds behind it, we will continue to document members of the web community who are entering the Obama administration or transition team.

The History of My Life According to Social Media
This might be an unusual post for Technosailor.com, but I want to write it .

Journalistic Recklessness
It’s been no secret that John McCain running mate, Sarah Palin, has been less than popular. Uttering many gaffes during the last two months of the campaign, she was an obvious choice to attribute the failure of the campaign. People simply wanted to believe that she could say some of the stupidest things on the…

New York City
New York City. Once before I walked these streets. The contrast between rich and poor. White, Black, Latino. Urban decay and iconic imagery. I’ve been back since, rarely for the same reasons as the time before, but always for something. There’s always something. Something innovative. Something advanced. Something dismal. Something sexy. Something, something, something. There’s…

SEO and Personal Brand is not dead. If you innovate.
Two very close friends of mine have made blanket statements stating that SEO is Dead and that, in essence, so is personal brand. Though I understand the sentiment expressed in both posts, it is still misinformation and very debunk-able. Micah Baldwin, who thinks SEO is dead, also happens to be my boss at Lijit. Geoff…

Extending Technosailor, Extending Thesis
Recently, I kicked off a development effort behind the scenes here at Technosailor.com that will take a bit of time to see through to completion. This plan involves you as a community of readers as well as some of the best technology currently lying around the web. I’m calling it Operation Dharma for no fancy…
