Happy Anniversary, Sara

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

It's been a year since I first met Sara. We met at the first InterVarsity Beach Retreat I went to. It's funny, actually, how well I remember it all. We were in the same small group, and I have the image of her sitting in a plastic lawn chair, her ...

Social History Web

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Gwen met Jared one day during art class. Jared worked with a guy named Tyler. Tyler's sister is a good friend of Gwen's. While each one of these individuals are different, each of their stories dynamically interconnect. History is nothing but a set of overlapping stories that make up the ...

Facebook vs. Twitter or Facebook and Twitter?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

I was thinking about Facebook Status and Twitter the other night. While I usually think of it as "Facebook Status vs. Twitter" a different thought came to mind. What if it was "Facebook Status then Twitter"? While the two services are basically the same when it comes to their purpose ...

Back from weekend thoughts: facebook, employment, woodwork, etc

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I always remind myself to let everyone know before I am going to be away for 2 or more days. Somehow, though, I always manage to forget. Kind of like "Remember to take out the trash, remember to take out the trash, remember to take out the trash." Then you ...

Small design updates

Friday, October 26th, 2007

A lot of you don't actually come to my site (funny story, I spelled that as "sight" first. Doh.) so you won't notice the changes. But for those of you who do, I increased the font size by 2 pixels and widened the content area. Everything just felt so small. ...

Set your own price for digital download applied to Indie developers?

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I used to spend a lot of time doing independent game development. The majority of my time was spent doing game design and marketing, with a smaller portion allocated to actual scripting. All the projects I worked on were multiplayer, which meant community development and somehow earning a profit while ...

Process of conversation in micro-communities

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Update: I've updated this from its previous version, still bloggers block version. I am hoping after hearing a nice lecture from John Updike, my thoughts will flow a bit better. I've been talking about online conversations with a number of people lately and have come to what I think are two ...

Bloggers block

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

All right. I have worked on three posts tonight, but am not satisfied with the final product of any of them. This is probably a result of having spent 8 straight hours creating a pro-forma in excel for one of my entrepreneur classes yesterday. So my brain is a bit ...

About Us is important, holy hell.

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

I've been spending a fair portion of time learning more about SEO & SEM, going through a large number of the top blogs, and holy hell. I have to say, I find it a bit ironic at how many of the top seo & sem blogs do an outright terrible ...

Tracking keywords online with Bloglines

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

While I just wrote a post on how to track conversations online with Google Alert & GMail, I'm noticing that while the feeds are updating, it's not always showing up in Google Reader 100% of the time. This is also a great time to mention something CK just wrote on ...
