About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
“Distribute from each according to his choice, to each according to the perceived value by others of his contribution.” – Paul Heyne

The WP-iCal plugin turns WordPress into a multi-author, online calendar. The plugin takes any posts in a ‘Calendar’ category and writes them to an .ics file ready for subscription into Apple’s iCal or other vCal-friendly app.

Hi all.
A couple weeks back, Jen Bohmbach and I talked about weblogs for an episode of the First Crack Podcast. In that conversation, you’ll hear us talk about the strengths (“you have a very comprehensive view of that person”) and weaknesses (“you have a very comprehensive view of that person”) of having a single weblog.
Personally, I think in topics and I like a little stronger separation between my topics than a single weblog will support. Previously, if you wanted to know what’s on my mind, you could check out MNteractive.com, The Work Better Weblog, and more recently, the First Crack Podcast. All of them are fairly topic specific. I like that. There were times when I had something to say that didn’t neatly fit into one of those 3 topics. Like WishRSS, or the WP-iCal plugin, some other early stage project, or just a thought I’d like to share.
That’s the purpose of this site. Think of it as the hub of Garrick, or the misc. category of my personality, or the most comprehensive view of me.
As always. it has an RSS feed.
Hi all. My apologies for the lack of updates. Some sort of virus put the smack down on me earlier this week (it’s going around). My head feels like a bowling ball and the thought of talking hurts. Worst of all – I haven’t had coffee since Tuesday. Tea. Lots of tea and lots of tasty Green Goodness juices.
Jen just listened to Jon Share His Geo, and she said she liked the format – me being between you and the interviewee. Less eavesdropping and more This American Life-esque. What do you think? 206-20-BEAN-1 or email.
Thanks for sticking around. I hope to bring you another heavily caffeinated episode early next week.
In the mean time, check out something else I’ve been working on: WishRSS – it turns Amazon WishLists into RSS feeds.
Alright. Time for more tea.

Five months ago, I was excited to see the opening of the Gate 3 Work Club in Emeryville, CA.
I completely believe in the principles;
I was skeptical that Herman Miller furnishings were necessary, and thought IKEA would be fine.
Well looks like February will be their last month open…due to funding issues.
I wish Neil Goldberg the best in the next iteration of the Work Club concept.
While I perform major editing surgery on the next two shows, you can get your First Crack fix from my interview – on the other side of the mic – with Rob Wahl @ Podcast411.com, listen here.
