On a web conference today, I caught a glimpse of someone’s inbox.
Protip: Close your email and IM if you’re presenting something. Unless of course, you want me to see your email folders, including the ones where you store “house” email.
But I digress. The person’s inbox had probably 40 folders, [...]
I decided to do some more exploring with JavaFX (again). I have no real idea what I'll do with it but I have often found it useful that playing with new technologies is a good way to inspire yourself. And you never know when you might need the knowledge gained.

Take a common requirement for the interwebs and its viewer, the browser, like wanting to view more than a single web page at a time.
In the first few iterations of browsers, this was possible only by launching multiple [...]
Writing and maintaining a blog requires a fair amount of effort. Hence the rise of micro-blogging, which is almost frictionless (one of my favorite interface-isms), creating mountains of content, a long tail for blogging as it were.
That’s actually pretty funny, since blogging was initially the long tail of online content publishing, which was kind of [...]
Rich has been a big proponent of Posterous for a long time. I’ve been meaning to try it out, so here goes.
I saw this link in my Reader today, pretty interesting stuff. I <3 data visualizations, as you know, so it was a gimme. Not sure how he got access to all the data though [...]
