The Utah Jazz Giant Killers
One of the nicest things about being home for Thanksgiving, aside from seeing my family, was getting to watch all the Jazz games. It’s tough following a small-market NBA team from afar. I still haven’t found a bar in Williamsburg that has NBA League Pass and can show the games.
The big news is that […]
Danger: Salutation Inflation
Kottke linked to an NYTimes article about email send-offs. Signing off with “best” is considered cold, apparently. This is how I end most of my emails. If I’m writing a work email I usually just sign it “-C”. I don’t like to use “cheers” and I don’t use “thanks” except when […]
Skype’s magic disappearing credits
A few weeks ago John posted about his Skypeout credits expiring, and we were talking about it again this afternoon (I mentioned FuturePhone, which looks like a great skype alternative to me), and then this evening I check my email and see: “WARNING: Your Skype Credit expires in 10 days”.
You will loose [sic] your Skype […]
You say new version, I say Patch
There’s an ad in the current Newsweek byAVG showing a cracked egg with a band-aid covering it under the headline “Say No to Patches” (or something like that). They go on to explain that at AVG you get an entirely new version of the software every so often, instead of patches.
Who cares? Call it […]
social networks: the new bubble?
I have been incubating this one for awhile, and then a week ago I saw an article about
“Bubble 2.0″ that spurred me to post my thoughts. One of the difficulties we’ve faced with Pheeder is that people these days, both investors and consumers, tend to be skeptical of joining yet another social network. […]
Pheeder at Cll Phn Lckn
Pheeder is going to be making a special guest appearance (of sorts) at tonight’s Cell Phone Lock-in at the Moma. I can’t say more because it’s a bit of a secret, but I’ll update with some more details tomorrow.
Update
By “tomorrow” I apparently meant next week. Anyway, this is what went down: Cll Phn Lckn […]
Snagu at MTVu’s Woodies Awards
Snagu, the camera phone scavenger hunt that I created with three other students at ITP, was featured at MTVu’s Woodie Awards a few weeks ago. We created a special Woodies-themed Snagu game and the top players got to go to the Woodies and play it live, with all-access stage passes.
Their pictures have […]

The Popularity Dialer in Stuff Magazine
The Popularity Dialer is in the current issue of Stuff Magazine. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s in the “Douche-O-Meter” section.
iTunes Jukebox in Make Blog
A friend just alerted me that the iTunes Jukebox, my final project along with Summer Bedard and Zach Eveland for Physical Computing in the Fall of 2005 (at ITP), was just mentioned in Make Blog. Cool!
I moved a few days ago and while packing up I found the iTJukebox, sitting in a sad little […]
