Chicago Perl Hackathon 2006

Anyone interested in attending the Chicago Perl Hackathon happening Nov. 10th/11th, 2006?

I’d be willing to drive from Milwaukee. I’m not sure I’d spend the night, but I’ve got Saturday totally open and would at least spend the day there…

Web 2.0 Costume Idea

Below is the illustration for my “Web 2.0” Halloween costume idea…

Costume 2.0

Besides the rounded corners, tags, and Ajax, the whole damn thing is social, since you’re expected to interface with other people while wearing it, and you can crowdsource things like acquiring candy/drinks/food to the people around you.

Les liked my idea from 2 years ago, so I thought I’d toss this one out for the web nerds…

As usual, I’ve released this under the “Give me some candy!” license…

Songbird 0.2 Developer Preview

I finally got around to testing out Songbird

Songbird 0.2 Developer Preview

First impressions? It’s cool. It’s usable. It’s still in development, but I love the concept. It even says “Now with video hack!” which you can see the results of in the image above, where I visited my videoblog at tinkernet.org.

Songbird (the application, and the idea behind it) is cool. I see potential for this thing. As Apple & iTunes seem to take away our rights with each new release, I see Songbird opening things up more and more with each release. When it comes to consuming media, that’s what I’m all about.

My First Freelance Job

Emma was playing an online game, and she was telling me how much it would cost to furnish her house, and how much it cost for a couch, a rug, etc. and finally she say “Hey, I earned $1000 but I didn’t get the money!” to which I had to reply “What are you, a freelancer?”

Har har har…

I ran out for a byte

My brother is funny…

I’ve seen at least a few IM status messages that say something like “Sorry, I ran out for a bit!” which I’m guessing is a default for some client out there, but I noticed my brother’s status message today:

I ran out for a byte.

Nice one… (And yes, he is a computer nerd…)
