For today and tomorrow only, YouTube will be testing live broadcasting with 4 of their partners. The most interesting part about this test is the ability for live comments, which lets users interact directly with the broadcaster. I think this will be a very interesting test, I think it will do well, and I think coupled with Google TV, it…
At the risk of starting a flame war (though I don’t think my readership is big or diverse enough to do so), I’d like to post my thoughts on the iPhone 4 Press Conference the Apple & good old Steve Jobs held today. Mostly because I like to show people (read: fanboys) that Apple isn’t any different from Microsoft, but…
I started freelancing all the way back in 2002, when my church came to me looking for a website (which at the time I didn’t actually do- talk about divine intervention!). I was a junior in high school, I used Frontpage, and GMail had yet to grace me with it’s presence. I had always wanted to run a business and…

I woke up this morning to a very upsetting email that my favorite music service in the cloud, lala, is closing its doors on May 31st. Â As a member since the tail end of 2008 and an avid user of the service, I of course wish it weren’t so; but since Apple bought it earlier this year, it does raise…
I’m doing a lecture on Monday, telling students how to properly build a website to promote themselves. After the jump is a sneak peak of what I’ll be talking about.
A woman asks her husband, a programmer, to go shopping: Wife: Dear, please, go to the nearby grocery store to buy some bread. Also, if they have eggs, buy 6. Twenty minutes later the husband comes back bringing 6 loaves of bread. His wife is flabbergasted: Wife: Dear, why on earth did you buy 6 loaves of bread? Husband: They…

I did this last year for 2008, where I alluded to a possible annual post; here we go! This time around I’m covering: toy, website, service, moment, and book.
