About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
When I was developing WP-iPodCatter, it seemed straight-forward enough to tie WordPress’ enclosure detection with the Comments RSS feed to create a comment podcast, or comment-cast. I didn’t have a personal need for this feature (so it’s not as fully developed as the others) but I thought it’d be neat and it was easy to …

After the MIMA Online Communities Salon tonight I overheard; “Ad agencies are paid to make the uninteresting interesting.” Reminded me of something Hugh said; “For marketing hand-made cheese that was matured in sixteenth century stone cellars, blogging is a no-brainer. For marketing Velveeta, it’s trickier. Maybe impossible.” The sleight of hand ad agencies perform is …

Kris Shaffer’s Web Design and Administration with WordPress article at NewsForge digs into WordPress and mentions both the WP-iCal (for calendaring) and WP-iPodCatter (for podcasting) plugins.
After the London Bombings, Jen said people were should make an ICE (short for ‘In Case of Emergency’) listing in our respective phones. It took about 10 seconds to update her speed-dial label my Treo. Thanks to Iconoculture’s ‘Who You Gonna Call’ article for reminding me of it.
The last week or so, I’ve noticed an odd squeaking coming from the driver-side front tire. Shows up a little over 20mph and it gets louder the faster I go. Not a good sign. Turn the wheel left or right at any speed and it completely disappears. Nothing. I had to stop by Stinson Auto …
I’m grabbing a late morning coffee at the Dunn Bros in downtown St. Paul. Like all Dunn Bros, this is a great place for eavesdropping (surpassed only by the Nicollet Mall location). The gentlemen next to me are have a very in-depth political current events discussion. Considering the low number of good coffee shops between …

A while back, Fast Company published Keith Hammonds’ Why We Hate HR. Like myself, I’m sure you have some remarkable ‘Everything was going great, then HR…’ stories. Whether it’s ridiculous, time-wasting hoops (asking candidates to complete an application even though you have their resume) or just not doing a simple Google search on a candidate …
Newsweek’s How Bush Blew it is only the latest report that Bush’s public distant, giggly, good-buddy facade covers a cold, distant, shoot-the-messenger defensiveness. Makes me wonder what it would take to get one of these rumored tirades recorded and distributed around the internets. Watching the authentic, backstage Bush go off, unprotected by co-dependent Telephone Sanitizers, …
I started ignoring the Star Tribune’s OpEx section almost immediately after we signed up for the Sunday home delivery. I was expecting well thought through logical arguments rather than the ‘look-a-shiny-thing-that-supports-my-position’ ignorance so popular on television “news”. But, like I said, I don’t read it. Today, I started reading the headline. Half way into the …

I’ve got a handful of password-protected PDF files. I can share those files with anyone, back them up on as many computers or discs as I’d like. If I want to actually read them, I need the password. The password cost me a $10 or $50 or what have you. I’d like to see this …
