One of my friends recently asked me what I’m using for extensions in Firefox 2, then suggested I share my list with the world. So, that’s exactly what I’m doing here. I’ll split them up by category so you can find the ones that apply to you. Improving the Firefox Interface Even though Firefox is […]

Infants and Babies
Just wanted to put a new post up before heading to bed for the evening. First, here’s a video I took of Kael after dinner. He just learned the baby sign for bath, and it’s pretty cute: Second, I’m not quite sure how many of you knew, but Casey and I are expecting again – […]
Technometria is fast becoming one of my favorite podcasts every week. I like to say it’s “like The Gillmor Gang, but actually good”. This week’s episode is one of the best yet. It’s a conversation with Doug Kaye of IT Conversations/GigaVox Media and Jeff Barr, Web Services Evangelism at Amazon. They discuss Amazon’s suite of […]

Note: This tutorial is now quite dated, so I would not recommend attempting to follow it. Instead, take a look at Media Temple’s instructions for configuring Mongrel Clusters. I recently deployed a Ruby on Rails application to Media Temple’s Dedicated Virtual Server 3.0 setup, and after running into a few problems along the way, eventually […]
I believe there are very few things less effective than spending $2 million + on one 30 second Super Bowl advertisement. They are a complete waste of time and energy that could be better spent a thousand different ways – like actually making products and services worth talking about or improving customer service. That’s why […]
