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 […]

Learning Expression Engine

In: Geekery, Development, Tech

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)

Blast Off

My father’s satellite launched on Wednesday!

I touched on this before, but Marc Andreesen’s essay about careers and creating and accepting opportunities rather than having a definite plan really resonated in me.
I believe a huge part of what people would like to refer to as “career planning” is being continuously alert to opportunities that present themselves to you spontaneously, when […]

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’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 […]

WidgetDevCamp Presentation

In: Social Media, Geekery, DC

Sorry for the week delay… hard to post when you’re in the middle of a mountain (literally).
WidgetDevCamp was awesome, thanks to everyone, especially Peter Corbett and Justin Thorp.
Here are my slides:

I gave a presentation about Facebook development, and afterwards they asked to actually see an application being developed, so […]

I’ll be at WidgetDevCamp this weekend.
I’ve planned to talk about developing Facebook applications and how they “work”, with a particular spin on developing widgets. I may also be collaborating with one or two other people on some other topics - we’ll see how that plays out.
I’ll post slides after.
If you are there, say hi.

Reaching My Google Goal

I’m now #2 on Google for “zvi”. I can make it.

Since Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, everything you are viewing is merely reflects a moment in time. You can come back a day later and it’ll be different. While I was doing some searching for the previous blog post, I came across this little gem for the wikipedia entry on Intrapreneurship.

Hi there!

My name is Zvi Band (pronounced zuh-vee), and I write this blog. You'll hear me talk about technology, social media, digital strategy, and entrepreneurship, all of which I am interested in.

I recently graduated (Go Terps!) and am working full time, however my heart lies in entrepreneurship. Watch me!

Everything I say is my own personal opinion, and should be treated as such. In this blog, what I say is not representative of my employer, clients, or anyone else other than myself.
