social networking workflow Comments

So I’m trying to figure out how to use this space now. Most “content” is being pushed through various social networking outlets (FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook), that this space has been sorely neglected. I’ve been trying to integrate my “workflow” so to speak and I haven’t yet figured out yet what this blog means [...]

reasonable inactivity Comments

I’ve been less active blogging and more engaged in other social media outlets (twitter, friendfeed, etc). My Friendfeed RSS is probably the best way to keep track of everything if you use feeds, or check this page.

proprietary markup Comments

This past week has seen an explosion of new… um… let call it web 3.0 toolkits for lack of a better term. AJAX replacements basically. In addition to Adobe and Microsoft’s early contenders (Apollo and Silverlight respectively), Sun announced JavaFX as a third contender. Sun’s announcement comes on the heels of their [...]
