Do not ask for whom the Jets lose. They lose for me. I know it’s just the first game, and they did play the team favored to win the Superbowl, but I was really hoping they would win. The offense and the secondary did ok. But the pass-rush and run-stop…
I am seeing a trend. It seems all the new good software is from Google. Recently, I realized that I read alot of blogs. I was getting annoyed that I had to go to so many different sites to read them, so I finally decided I need a “Feed Aggregator“. …
At first, I thought, “Yeah, that would be nice. Digg for people. Like a digital “Thank You”. I did a quick Google and saw that a company is doing that for some people. The comments at the bottom are incredibly pessimistic. They are screaming Ego! Bad! Lame! So I thought…
The technology is getting better and better. Google is announcing a version of PowerPoint and Wiki software in the next few weeks/months. I think this is a turning point for the industry. I have already started using Google Spreadsheets and have been a paying customer of Picasa. We just switched…
Autocomplete is one of those UI widgets that can revolutionize an application. Jörn Zaefferer has developed a beautiful lightweight version of autocomplete for jQuery. In my Marketo app, I am heavily using Jack Slocum’s EXT autocomplete. Once I introduced it, it really eliminated alot of complexity, not to mention modal…
I finally got invited to the Trillian Astra alpha. I have been waiting for a long time for this. It’s a beautiful looking application and actually improves upon the reliable Trillian 3.1 that I have been using for years. It adds GTalk support and a slick new interface using tons…
I still can’t stop coughing! I can’t concentrate like this. Make it stop! Make it stop! I played tennis this weekend. I thought, “Maybe I could exercise and that will help”. It didn’t help. I had to quit after half a set. Ugh!
I still feel terrible. Coughing. Can’t breathe. It’s amazing how a little thing like breathing can sap your creative energy. This cough has been nagging me for over a week. I am afraid that I won’t be able to play tennis on Sunday. Katie is starting to cough more now…
Articles like this make me sick. It’s saying, the only reason people by hybrids is to say to their neighbor, “See, I am saving the world!”. While this may be true, it still is ugly and it shows the worst in us. And worse still, it shows how corporate America…
Brad Neuberg posted this awesome vision statement on his blog. Well, it’s not really a vision statement, but it felt like it so I will call it that. It made me sit and think about the big questions that I have in my mind. I wrote a list of the…
For about a decade now, I have used TrayColor as a must-have utility to pick colors off the screen and get their HEX for html and css. It’s tiny, works perfectly, sits in the tray. It’s few quirks seemed to be minor enough and it was free. I don’t know…
This is a great effect for a menu, with lots of easy customization. It’s called LavaLamp. (jQuery Plugin) I wonder if it could be made into a vertical menu. I would use it on the top left of this page. Sometimes, I marvel at the creativeness of some people. This…
Katie is the master of our domain. She maintains the family finances and schedules. She is the COO, CFO and CEO of the house. (I am the CTO) Recently, we have had the need to share our family calendar in a distributed way. She had been using Outlook Calendars on…
Warning: This post may make you sick. First Daniel, Lindy and Molly had a horrible time getting a flight to the west coast. Then when they finally got on a plane (last one of the night), molly threw up on Daniel’s lap during the landing. He wasn’t even allowed to…
