It&#8217;s fun to watch it change. Here is a screenshot from about a week ago: 

Looks like they are moving the profile photo to the right (taken 7/12):

And finally on 7/20:

Which one do you like best?

<p>I hear <a href="http://www.socialthing.com">SocialThing</a> is working on something similar.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my tip of the day. I hope to at least blog once a day now.</p>

Twitter rolled out some new stylistic changes today, but I guess they didn&#8217;t test everything. My replies are all gone.

I do like the new look and feel though. It&#8217;s much cleaner. Maybe they should work on preventing the fail whale or the &#8220;something is technically wrong&#8221; robot from showing up as much.

<p>You&#8217;ve been waiting for this new <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">iPhone</a> for weeks now, but have you seen it destroyed?</p>

<p>It evens turns into a mirror when you light it on fire, and throw it up in the air a bunch of times. (I removed the video of this because it&#8217;s a little too evil :-X)</p>

<p>The most stable element of the new iPhone is the plastic back cover.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mager/2660446904/" title="iPhone 3G Disassembly by magerleagues, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3271/2660446904_003e05d6d7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="iPhone 3G Disassembly" /></a></div>
<p>It took two strong kicks to even break the main composition of this day-old handheld.</p>

<p>Even after we smashed it every which way, the back was still in pretty good shape.</p>

<p>The sim card holder is actually pretty stable.</p>

<p>Please don&#8217;t try this at home. Only at a bar.</p>

<p>This iPhone was already broken when we got our hands on it.

<div align="center"><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080709-rd9u31ge7sp1u5a53jktrgx8fp.jpg" /></div>
<p>My buddy <a href="http://www.ajvaynerchuk.com/%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88-on-twitter/">AJ wrote about it</a>, and at one point, we were analyzing the phenomenon of this non-word, and how we could capitalize on it. The fact that it spread so fast just amazed us.</p>
<p>The simple copy and paste action allowed this to spread from one or two people to everybody.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080709-rpic7ik1m55escpweu4wipux4x.jpg" /></p>
<p>Two people saw my Twitter update and thought something was wrong with Twitter:</p>
<p>Nicole: &#8220;Did you black out the word: mager Listening to Leo G&#8217;s daily blaze mix. Turn this █████ up!&#8221;<br />
Morgan: &#8220;Hey, when did Twitter start protecting my delicate sensibilities?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is the actual bytecode: <code>%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88</code></p>
<p>What do you think of this useless character? I think it&#8217;s pretty █████ing weird.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.medialets.com"><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/medialets_image.jpg" class="right" /></a> What is one device that everyone has? It&#8217;s not a TV, not a computer, or not even a laundry machine (me). But we all got cellphones. More and more of us are getting iPhones too, and with the development of open-source <a href="http://mobile.google.com">Android</a>, the possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Enter <a href="http://www.ericlitman.com">Eric Litman</a> and <a href="http://ranajune.com/">Rana Sobhany</a>, rockstars and media pioneers. They are behind the new <a href="http://www.medialets.com">Medialets</a> project, which will allow developers to take advantage of ads on the new iPhone 2.0 platform.</p>
<p>Some people hate ads, especially on something as personal as a phone, but I think these apps will be seamless and unobtrusive. </p>
<p>As a developer or ad provider, you can use Medialets&#8217; tracking an analytics to see how your tap-throughs are going. Think of it as <a href="http://www.doubleclick.net">DoubleClick</a> for the iPhone.</p>
<p>What do you think? Hopefully Medialets will not sway you to opt-out of iPhone apps because they are cluttered with ads. These guys know how to make great products, so I have no fear.</p>

<p>This really makes me mad. I like to upload my photos all the time, and I can&#8217;t use the easiest method anymore. I can&#8217;t even use the ActiveX plugin either&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080704-bk1x1348y51922c862xi9c1s11.jpg" /></p>
<p>I am stuck with the simple uploader, which only lets you upload five at a time. This could take forever.</p>
<h3>You can&#8217;t block application requests from being sent to you.</h3>
<p>I hate these a lot. I have removed friends because of this.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080704-ktbb3n37gi1dgbcars47sme13m.jpg" /></p>
<h3>Sometimes when you clicking through a photo gallery, it will get stuck on a photo.</h3>
<p>You have to refresh, and most of the time, it will lose your place. I don&#8217;t have a screenshot for this one, but it&#8217;s kinda annoying.</p>
<h3>You can only message 20 people at once.</h3>
<p>Why did Facebook make Friend Lists if you can only message 20 at once? Luckily, you can invite more than 20 people to an event, but wtf?</p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080704-keibpg6gxpkwcn3q81jtb5rnrh.jpg" /></p>
<h3>When you are very active on Facebook, your mini-feed gets chopped.</h3>
<p>Not a big deal, but the mini-feed loses stories when you have written on a lot of walls, or added a bunch of people. Fix it!</p>
<h3>Have you found any other bugs?</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got the memo this morning.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mager/2628939814/" title="The new CBS Interactive by magerleagues, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2628939814_938e2cf9f7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="The new CBS Interactive" /></a></div>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Together, CBS and CBS Interactive represent an unbeatable combination of premium content online, premium content on air, and premium audiences.  As a leading online media network, CBS Interactive has an impressive portfolio of brands, including CNET, CBSSports.com, CBS.com, GameSpot, TV.com, <a href="http://www.bnet.com">BNET</a>, and Last.fm, to name a few. Together, we cover just about every major category that advertisers care about: technology, entertainment, sports, news, and business, and we have the ability to offer advertisers access to active and engaged audiences, across all platforms – on air (radio and TV), online, mobile and outdoor.&#8221;<br />

<p>Pretty cool to be on the same team as <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/magerleagues">Last.fm</a>, one of my favorite web properties.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, it&#8217;s also cool to be affiliated with a big media company. Not much has changed around here, but I suspect big things are coming for the former CNET Networks. For instance, I think the news.com integration will happen soon, as <a href="http://digg.com/design/Preview_CNET_s_new_improved_look">cnet.com is redesigning right now</a>. TV.com might become more like the <a href="http://www.cbsaudiencenetwork.com/">CBS Audience Network</a>.</p>
<p>One of our own sites just got a new skin today, and I am proud to show it off:</p>
<p><a href="http://techrepublic.com.com"><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080630-nt5f46i5w16i7r8a1qyq5eruix.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Lots of things are gonna change here, and I will miss the CNET Networks orange cube that sits outside our office, but overall I&#8217;m very excited.</p>

<p>I have heard a lot about the inner workings of Mail and Calendar over at Yahoo! They&#8217;re really focusing on making it more social. Even though Yahoo! is losing a lot of top-level execs, their audience is still strong. People are always gonna revolve their web experience around Yahoo!</p>
<p>Will you use RocketMail or Ymail?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a huge fan of Natali Del Conte&#8217;s show Loaded on CNET TV. It&#8217;s a concise recap of the day&#8217;s news in technology and everything web. So when she IMed me to come see a taping of the show, I jumped out of my seat.</p>

<p>She was doing a quick run-through, and I snapped a little video:</p>
<div align="center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/c44a3718/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/c44a3718/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler" ></embed></object></div>
<p>I hope Natali comes back to SF more often because she is truly missed in this office. I am glad she gets to explore NY though, but her heart is in the bay area. If you are reading this Natali, thanks for letting me come watch a live episode of Loaded, it was awesome <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the day, I had this experiment where I would ask all my friends what love meant to them. Today, I got the best answer to date:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080618-n1pdy6esbnmsiu1gwxs31hyp8i.jpg" /></div>
<p>Here is a long list of everybody&#8217;s answers from 2002. I left the AIM screen names in tact, so feel free to contact these people and argue your point.</p>
<p>Anyway, please <em>please</em> tell me what love means to you. I want your definition. How does it make you feel? Answer in the comments.</p>
<h3>From 2002</h3>
<p><strong>mager leagues: whats love to you?</strong><br />
CrazyRay13: i dont beleve its perm<br />
<strong>mager leagues: say somethin more<br />
</strong>CrazyRay13: well my overall view is that people are never in love perm, and that eventually marriages turn into friendshiip, so i guess love = advanced form of friendship<br />
CrazyRay13: who knows :-X<br />
<strong>mager leagues: discuss :-X<br />
</strong>CrazyRay13: i guess it just cant be described</p>
<p>months later..</p>
<p>crazy ray 13: love is something that can&#8217;t be put into words. its the feelings, emotions, and knowing that the other person experiences the same things for you that you feel for them. honestly, any attempt at trying to classify love is an injustice, because its so much more then words</p>
<p>Dev0140: there are like 50 different loves; you can love your friends; you can love your guys; friends&#8230;or your girlfriends; but not be IN love with them. sometimes its easy to say you love certain things, but its equally as easy to say you hate them too. when love and hate are 2 absolutes</p>
<p>Cocomaan: There is nothing in this world that is black and white. You don&#8217;t love or hate someone. This is common sense. But many people that I have known said that they have a girlfriend/boyfriend that they don&#8217;t &#8216;love&#8217;, and that their &#8216;true love&#8217; is reserved for someone else; the mythical figure of the &#8216;perfect&#8217; person. What I tell these people is that they are wrong (something they don&#8217;t want to hear). They DO love that person, whether they deny it or not. I love my brother and my parents in a different &#8217;shade&#8217; than I love my closest friends and those ladies I admire. I love my Whitford gangsta&#8217;s, but not in the way I would love someone I marry. There is alot of love to go around, and you shouldn&#8217;t spare it for someone you don&#8217;t know yet. You should love all, and love some more than others, and some less. Always think in shades of gray.</p>
<p>Niccii44: when 2 people love each other; when you can&#8217;t think about anything but that person; and when the person feels the same way, and all you want to do is be with that person &#8230; and not even in a sexual way<br />
<strong>mager leagues: your definition is my favorite</strong><br />
Niccii44: lol <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> thats b/c i am totally feeling in love lol </p>
<p>EmZAngL: u know what i think love is?<br />
EmZAngL: finding someone that knows everything about you, and loves you anyway. someone who tells u a million times not to do something, and still loves you when you do it anyway, and doesn&#8217;t say i told you so when you get hurt.<br />
EmZAngL: someone with whom you can be entirely yourself, without worrying about them making judgments or being &#8220;too cool&#8221; to be with you<br />
EmZAngL: someone who you can cry with, or talk about anything with. someone who understands you and everything you say, and tries even if they don&#8217;t. someone who always makes you smile, even when all you feel like doing is crying. someone who loves you so much, they don&#8217;t mind not being in first place. someone who doesn&#8217;t mind, and in<br />
fact loves, spending ridiculous amounts of time with you, and doesn&#8217;t get tired of you, even after hours and hours.<br />
EmZAngL: someone who you can honestly say you miss when you go away or when they don&#8217;t talk to you.<br />
EmZAngL: true real unconditional love is finding someone for whom you&#8217;re willing to give up everything, absolutely everything you have for that person. it&#8217;s so entirely special&#8211;i really believe that it&#8217;s the kind of thing you only ever get from your parents, dogs, and a few wonderful people in your entire life.<br />
EmZAngL: anyone who experiences that kind of love is so lucky&#8230;<br />
EmZAngL: anyways. just feeling sappy. and i didn&#8217;t answer this question so well before</p>
<p>Cocomaan: You asked me that before.<br />
A) Enfatuation with another<br />
B) A feeling of bonding with another person<br />
C) A fucking joke.</p>
<p><strong>mager leagues: whats love to you</strong><br />
SteveM76: what</p>
<p>Gianajmalak: love: i think that love is overcomplicated. when you hold a baby and it looks at you and is contented, that&#8217;s love. the simplicity of it all: trust and<br />
comfort. trust that you&#8217;ll take care of each other and comfort just by being around one another. that&#8217;s what i think love is. And really, this explanation covers all<br />
situations.<br />
<strong>mager leagues: <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</strong>(wifey candidate)</p>
<p>steffani602: it isn&#8217;t finding the perfect person but seeing an imperfect person perfectly&#8230;its feeling that someone out there knows who yor are and wants to be around you<br />
and with you despite this<br />
<strong>mager leagues: WHOA<br />
</strong>steffani602: well you asked</p>
<p><strong>mager leagues: can you define love?<br />
</strong>Girliepa: no<br />
mager leagues: why not<br />
Girliepa: because i&#8217;ve never been in love<br />
<strong>mager leagues: :-<br />
mager leagues: good enough for me</strong></p>
<p>KaRkAr385: hmmmm&#8230;when u think about the person all the time adn without them you just feel like shit and when you loev someone its like the best feeling in the world, a<br />
natural high and when you find love its like all the things in the world u thought were crappy just change into something of beauty!<br />
<strong>mager leagues: <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>mangomanpsu: well, ill give you two answers. . .heres the good answer: love is the power between people to hold strong and true, and the ability to reach the highest<br />
heights. . . .here&#8217;s the other answer: love is good sex with a blowjob afterwards<br />
mager leagues: <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Dev0140: Love can sweep you off your feet and carry you along in a way you&#8217;ve never known before. But the ride always ends, and you end up feeling lonely and bitter. Wait.<br />
It&#8217;s not love I&#8217;m describing. I&#8217;m thinking of a monorail. - J. Handey<br />
Dev0140: how do you like them apples?<br />
<strong>mager leagues: haha<br />
</strong></p>
<p>rockinthasuburbs: love is found in the eye of the beholder and can be one&#8217;s highest acheivement or greatest downfall</p>
<p>Jrobinson0: when u really really really really like somebody and you cant stand being away from them and all you think about is being with them. DEVIN AND ME<br />
<strong>mager leagues: l33t<br />
</strong></p>
<p>SUNFLWR1684: umm..im not a dictionary</p>
<p>AlliH3586: man some people have some good answers</p>
<p>Helmy7: i think, its getting a special feeling in side when you look at someone and you know you want to be with them. and change nothing about them, even dispite there<br />
flaws you still can&#8217;t get enough of them </p>
<p>Meggz77: love or &#8220;love&#8221; is just knowing the answer to that question, and not having to tell anyone.<br />
Meggz77: b/c u love them. and they know. end of story.</p>
<p>sPankMuStafa: love is when two people have feelings of intimacy, for each other..i think<br />
<strong>mager leagues: booo<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Powerfulsoul27: umm&#8230;. extreme happiness and enjoyment around a certain person and extreme saddness when you&#8217;re not with them </p>
<p>The Heath1974: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a<br />
sense of underlying oneness.<br />
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance. </p>
<p>Sexual passion.<br />
Sexual intercourse.<br />
A love affair.<br />
An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.<br />
A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.<br />
<strong>mager leagues: whoa<br />
</strong>The Heath1974: thats what the dictionary said</p>
<p>a nak in1420: love is all of your being. it gives you butterflies. it makes you happy</p>
<p>rockinthasuburbs: love is a feeling you&#8217;d do anything to have<br />
<strong>mager leagues: <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</strong>rockinthasuburbs: and inspiration for living. love is life</p>
<p>quartnaz727: a comfortable feeling with someone whom you really enjoy and really care for&#8230; a really really really good friend</p>

<strong>mager leagues: whoa<br />

<p><strong>mager leagues: whats love to you<br />
</strong>silly girl 869: oh god.<br />
silly girl 869: i think that love is when you are ready to accept somebody, for their postive attributes and for their faults. and when you are ready to hold their hand<br />
through a fucked up situation, when you&#8217;re ready to comprimise to make them happy. when you want to tell someone everything about you.. and when your heart beats faster<br />
when they&#8217;re around.</p>
<p>pot9963: love is different from a relationship.. a relationship has many false climaxes like a shakespeare play but love will nbe the only one u hear bells on ur weddin day<br />

</strong>mAnEeMoNky: um&#8230; love is an undescribale connection u share with a person&#8230; u think about that person and want to be with them all the time..<br />

JHindman22: dang yo.. i cant explain it<br />
<strong>mager leagues: whats your conclusion<br />
</strong>JHindman22: love is hard to define&#8230; but when you&#8217;re in love you know it because there&#8217;s no feeling in the world like it&#8230; it&#8217;s caring for a person uncoditionally and supporting them in anything and everything they do&#8230; that&#8217;s the best i can do buddy<br />

OneMeanHeadDab: anwya<br />
OneMeanHeadDab: anyway*<br />
OneMeanHeadDab: here goes<br />
OneMeanHeadDab: &#8220;Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful.&#8221;<br />
OneMeanHeadDab: you&#8217;d better appreciate me making an ass out of myself for you to have more material in your website&#8230;.<br />
OneMeanHeadDab: on the plus side, that mooshy stuff gets you good with girls&#8230;;-)</p>
<p>oklahomaerik: more than a feeling</p>
<p>thughokie: love is knowing you&#8217;ll do just about anything for sumone, no matter their faults, you compliment one another, you can hang out like best friends, but you can&#8217;t keep your hands off either, you just know it&#8217;s special, you can apart from them, but know you&#8217;ll end up together&#8230;<br />
<strong>mager leagues: <img src='http://www.andrewmager.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> great answer<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.iilwy.com">iminlikewithyou.com</a> is not just a dating site anymore. In fact, people don&#8217;t even know how to find that section of the site anymore because their games are so much fun. Yesterday at lunch, <a href="http://halletecco.wordpress.com">Halle</a> asked if I had ever played Draw My Thing. I was like, &#8216;uhh what?&#8217;</p>

<p>Imagine charades with a mouse. I recommend that you try it, but don&#8217;t play it too much at work or you will get fired.</p>
<p>Big shoutouts to <a href="http://blog.iminlikewithyou.com/">Charles Forman</a> for his continued innovation on iilwy. The Flash interface keeps getting better, and now we have fun games to play. Have you tried <a href="http://www.blockles.com">Blockles</a>?</p>
<p>I have been a user <a href="http://www.andrewmager.com/2007/04/29/im-in-like-with-you/">for a while now</a>, and I will continue to checkout the site, especially if they keep making fun games.</p>
<p>Try to <a href="http://iilwy.com/#/arcade/gamelobby/drawmything">draw my thing</a>, and let me know if you like it.</p>

<p>Not only does <a href="http://www.tommerritt.com">Tom Merritt</a> like to play World of Warcraft, but he also likes WWDC attendees who juggle behind his computer. Oh, and Guinness.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mager/2575920856/" title="Jason Howell Broadcasting by magerleagues, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2575920856_789616d07a_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Jason Howell Broadcasting" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 10px 10px;"/></a></p>
<p>These meetups are always a blast because people come from all over to meet the stars of<a href="http://bol.cnet.com"> Buzz Out Loud</a>, CNET&#8217;s podcast of indeterminate length. It&#8217;s great to chat it up with Jason or Tom about technology, especially when they are out of the office. Molly couldn&#8217;t make it last night because her baby was not feeling well.</p>
<p>This time, it was at the Courtyard Marriot, CNET&#8217;s next-door neighbor. This is the hotel I stayed at when I was interviewing at CNET, and it&#8217;s the first place I had dinner in The City. I hadn&#8217;t been back there since, so it was really fun. They have a nice little area next to the bar that we dominated. They have a cool little courtyard there too, but the party never moved outside, even though the weather was beautiful.</p>
<p>The fan who made the longest journey was Tom Risor, from Minnesota. He was out visiting his kids in Sacramento, and heard about the BOL meetup so he came down. It was great to meet people who listen to and enjoy the same podcast I do every day. It was funny though because most of them do not watch the show live. I can&#8217;t imagine experiencing BOL on my iPod after it&#8217;s taped.</p>
<p>The live element is the best part of BOL. I had a chance to interview Molly and Jason at the last meetup. Here is the excerpt:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/13bdef98/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/13bdef98/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler" ></embed></object></p>
<p>And Tom&#8217;s take on it:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/55fc718f/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/55fc718f/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler" ></embed></object></p>
<p>We had the camera to the bar this time too. People were logging in and chatting with us on <a href="http://www.ustream.tv">UStream</a>, <a href="http://www.justin.tv">Justin.tv</a>, and <a href="http://live.yahoo.com">Yahoo! Live</a>. For people that have never been to San Francisco, I bet they thought we do this all the time at the bar, which we do.</p>
<p>Shoutouts to pb30, DAKlives, phatemokid, Rafa, and gknee, our loyal chatters.</p>
<p>Here is a 45 minute long video of the event, most of which is just rackety goodness.</p>
<p><embed flashvars="autoplay=false" width="400" height="320" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/video/481900" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><a href="http://www.ustream.tv" style="padding:2px 0px 4px;width:400px;background:#FFFFFF;display:block;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-size:10px;text-decoration:underline;text-align:center;" target="_blank">Webcast by Ustream.TV</a></p>
<p>Hope you can make it to the next BOL meetup!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a technical producer at CNET, I spend a lot of time updating and improving markup. As time goes on, I learn little CSS tricks here and there to make sites look good in all browsers. I always thought it would be a good idea to have a web coder&#8217;s strategy guide, but I never have time to work on sites that aren&#8217;t part of my job&#8230; unless I do it during my lunch break.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cssforlunch.com"><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080617-1bf4y7d3i8dm7sn4fmc1qrcq7q.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The best part is that anyone can contribute. Just contact me if you are interested.</p>
<p>I have invited people like <a href="http://clh201.net">Carl Harris</a>, <a href="http://jerang.net">Jeremy Lwanga</a>, and <a href="http://golampo.com">Scott Parsons</a> (my three co-workers in tech production). I&#8217;ve invited <a href="http://www.kevincupp.com/blog">Kevin Cupp</a> from Virginia Tech, <a href="http://deltatangobravo.com/">Daniel Burka</a> from Digg. Oh, and who could forget <a href="http://www.stephaniechu.com">Stephanie Ch</a>u from <a href="http://www.revision3.com">Rev3</a>.</p>
<p>The site will have short snippets and tidbits that will help anyone trying to code a semantic XHTML document and make it look good.</p>
<p>Speaking of looking good, the site skin looks terrible right now, but <a href="http://www.marcsdesign.com">Marc Mendell</a> will be cooking up a new look for the site soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.andrewmager.com/2008/04/23/matt-galligan-c-e-oh-of-socialthing/">I had a chat with Matt Galligan</a> at the Web 2.0 Expo about the new version of his social network aggregator SocialThing. And now, just a few weeks later, the alpha is up for QA.</p>
<p>The new <a href="http://www.socialthing.com">SocialThing</a> looks much more advanced than it&#8217;s rival FriendFeed.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080611-1buirnu73gutm7jdwapa8mmgij.jpg" /></p>
<p>The next generation of the site now groups all of your friends activities into a nice little box. You can even favorite or respond to certain services like <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a> or <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a>. The new tabbed-interface feels familiar to the advanced social web user. SocialThing will check to see if new updates have been posted and then prompt you about if you want to see it.</p>
<p>Your personal settings have also improved. You can filter your friendstream by time, or person, and choose how often it updates. </p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080611-8cf355m9n4itt5shh9s5cw8ybk.jpg" /></p>
<p>They have setup a place where you can vote new services onto the site too. </p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080611-t4hiicbn4w24qrwnn42wdg1ppj.jpg" /></p>
<p>SocialThing, <a href="http://friendfeed.com/mager">FriendFeed</a>, <a href="http://www.andrewmager.com/2008/02/10/iminta-the-web-are-you/">Iminta</a>, <a href="http://www.profilactic.com/mashup/andrew">Profilactic</a>, and other social aggregator sites seem cool, but there is almost no incentive to login unless you&#8217;re bored. It&#8217;s really hard to interact with these sites and not go crazy. The new SocialThing looks to be the best one so far. </p>
<p>We barely have enough time to check our personal mail throughout the day, let alone logging into all these websites. <a href="http://mgalligan.com/">Galligan</a> has the right idea, and I think it will be a success. </p>
<p>How will these sites bring the communities together so they are actually interesting? I can&#8217;t imaging if <a href="http://www.andrewmager.com/2008/06/01/a-first-look-at-plurk/">Plurk</a> started aggregating all of your social network data into their horizontal puddle of goo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I switch my theme almost weekly. I have been told numerous times that I am <a href="http://www.arquay.com">not a designer</a>, but I like to think that I am learning. I have put together a lot of websites for people, but never really spent time designing my blog.</p>
<p>Whenever I&#8217;ve made a site for a friend, I&#8217;ve had to find a current theme and then I re-skin it. Some of my best &#8220;re-skins&#8221; are <a href="http://www.allisontorres.net">Allison Torres</a>, <a href="http://www.sexiestgeeksalive.com">Sexiest Geeks Alive</a>, and <a href="http://www.phiforfools.com">Phi For Fools</a>. These are not my original designs, but I take credit for the creative input.</p>
<p>But all of the credit for designing my new site is given to <a href="http://www.marcsdesign.com">Marc Mendell</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.andrewmager.com/images/img-skin-660.gif" /></p>
<p>A few months ago, I set him up on <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com">Dreamhost</a> and he said he would redesign my site. At that instant, I was honored because he is the art director for CNET Business. If you haven&#8217;t noticed, the sites from our division have the best design compared to other CNET sites (<a href="http://www.bnet.com">BNET</a>, <a href="http://www.zdnet.com">ZDNet</a>, <a href="http://techrepublic.com.com">TechRepublic</a>).</p>
<p>As soon as I saw <a href="http://marcsdesign.com/blog/?p=11">his blog post thanking me</a> for helping him with his site, I was really excited to cut the new design.</p>
<p>Building it wasn&#8217;t too hard because of the sleek markup in the <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/">Sandbox Wordpress theme</a>. I moved a few things around, and wrote a little bit of CSS and poof.</p>
<p>A lot goes into building a Wordpress theme from scratch, but every time I learn something new. For example, did you know about all the different <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags">conditional functions in Wordpress</a>?</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s finally live. There are some bugs, but overall, it works. I want to add some more stuff to the right column, like my Facebook widget and a stream of recently uploaded Flickr photos. </p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to know what you think of the new design!</p>

I logged into Plurk for the first time in a week yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that people had responded to my messages.
Once you get the hang of it, you can have a lot of fun with it.
I strongly recommend that you start Plurking!

<p>The first ever Cupcake Camp was an absolute success. The only rule: eat cupcakes.</p>
<p>The best one was the maple bacon. Yea, I&#8217;m not kidding. It tasted like breakfast; a cornbready flavor infused with bacon and maple syrup.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tychay/sets/72157605405143666/show/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3166/2547127141_788fc9a3d1.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Other notables were the red velvet, the chocolate chip cheesecake, and german chocolate death.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mager/2545775840/" title="Hostile mini-cupcake takeover by magerleagues, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/2545775840_f444141ef1.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Hostile mini-cupcake takeover" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://arielwaldman.com/2008/05/26/cupcakecamp-comes-to-san-francisco-this-sunday/">Ariel Waldman</a> and <a href="http://www.mariannemasculino.com">Marianne Masculino</a> made this event possible, and I they did a great job as hostesses.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mager/2546003337/" title="Ariel Waldman and Marianne Masculino by magerleagues, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3266/2546003337_81036310d1.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Ariel Waldman and Marianne Masculino" /></a></p>
<p>We did a little broadcasting on UStream so others could share in our cupcake heaven:</p>
<p><embed flashvars="autoplay=false" width="400" height="320" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/video/456853" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><a href="http://www.ustream.tv" style="padding:2px 0px 4px;width:400px;background:#9A999A;display:block;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-size:10px;text-decoration:underline;text-align:center;" target="_blank">Broadcast powered by Ustream.TV</a></p>
<p>The event was held at Citizen Space, but next time I want CHOW to host it. They just finished building a beautiful kitchen, and it&#8217;s connected to the courtyard. It would be the best combination.</p>
<p>You better be at the next Cupcake Camp!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.terrychay.com/blog">Terry Chay</a> and <a href="http://10fathoms.org/vu/">Andrei Zmievski</a> captured some really good photos too.</p>
