With The Band

In order to better establish a web presence for myself, I am rebuilding my own website. I have big ideas for this, displaying my writings, past and present, my interests, my friends, my work, and also as an living technical showcase for my abilities.
One feature I wanted to have is a display of whatever I […]

Out of desire to learn something new, and in part due to specific needs on upcoming client engagements, I sat down and plowed my way through Expression Engine. After about five or six hours of slugging through Michael Boyink’s amazing tutorial, I’m feelin’ a bit like Neo (youtube video below)

Facebook applications are awesome - and a good number of developers and agencies have committed to themselves full time to developing applications for themselves and for clients. We all see huge potential for being able to interact with users on such a personal level, so easily. Relying on other services is a big component of […]

Late last year I mentioned that Yahoo was coming out with it’s own location management platform. They launched it last week in private beta. At this point - it really is just that, a platform. Very few applications exist. Seth Levine was kind enough to send me an invite.
I wrote a quick application using Fire […]

I made the WhyGoSolo Facebook Application, which just launched. If you join WhyGoSolo, you can have any events you create or sign up for show up on Facebook automatically, so you and your Facebook friends can know what you are up to.

We’re planning on adding a lot more functionality to it in the future. […]

I’m thinking about starting an open source project, based on a need I see. I’m working on fleshing out the idea a little bit more, and recruiting some local PHP developers I know to help me. I don’t have time for this, but who does?
One of the great things about developing third-party applications on Facebook […]

After considering it for a while, I decided to give my DC Metro Times checker it’s very own website! Everyone welcome getmetrotimes.com !
GetMetroTimes.com is a FREE service that allows you to quickly and easily check when the next metro train is arriving at your nearest station. You can check it online, or on your […]

One of my friends pointed out to me that a search for dc metro times on Google shows my lil’ web app in third place. Nice!
Peter of iStrategyLabs recommended that I get it it’s own domain name, no more piggybacking off skeevisarts.com (which I redesigned by the way, check it out!!) and see what I […]

I’ve been using Freepository to host my current projects, but Unfuddle looks good enough to switch to, and their plans seem pretty decent. I had been getting pretty sick of the current issue trackers I’ve been using, which always seem to be butt ugly.

I love when the gov’t prevents you from working for them. So instead of actually doing anything productive, I made a fun Facebook application, from start to finish!
CrazyCaptions lets your friends add funny captions to your Facebook
photos! Create caption contests that show up on your profile in one
step!
Developing on the Facebook platform definitely has it’s […]
