I love content

January 21, 2008 – 11:17 pm

Tumblr is the best “automatic” blog I can find on the web today. It’s easier than Automattic too.

I just redirected my tumblog to ilovecontent.com. It pulls all my personal content feeds like Flickr, Twitter, del.icio.us, Facebook, last.fm, and Wordie.

For the casual blogger, look how easy it is to post on Tumblr. They separate content types [...]

You’ve been bluebirded.

Twitter is a Ruby on Rails experiment, and at least once a day I am greeted with these messages:

There is even a website called istwitterdown.com that displays a white background with one word in black text. Ironically, Twitter is down now, and it says, “No”. It does link to an Amazon page where you can [...]

Even faster away messages.

Ever since I have used a computer with an internet connection, I have always been fascinated with away messages. I would think hard about what to post on my AIM profile or away message. I would even scan other’s away messages, and it was pretty amusing.

Highlights from WordCamp 2007

July 23, 2007 – 2:07 am

Unconferencing is one of the reasons I moved to San Francisco. They are free, geek-infested, and very enlightening. The open source software community is probably my favorite group of folks to hang out with here.
I spent my whole day at WordCamp 2007, hosted at the Swedish American Hall in downtown SF.

The event was [...]

Easily follow your Facebook friends on Twitter.

July 19, 2007 – 2:22 am

I am always trying to move my friends over to use Twitter to update their status. I love Facebook’s status feature, but I don’t have time to log into Facebook 10 times a day.
I created a Twitter bot to syndicate my friend’s Facebook status RSS feed.
