We’ll have to see what happens, but….

The Facebook payments platform will only work is if it is ridiculously easy to pay for something. […]

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 […]

A little over two years ago, in the summer between graduating and starting a “real job” I spent a good amount of time at the gym, brushing up on my various web skills, and building cool apps. I didn’t necessarily want to get rich off them, they were more exercises in taking my ideas and […]

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.

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

Let’s pretend for a second that the writers weren’t on strike, and we had decent TV on.
Watching TV is enjoyable, right?
It’s also fun to watch it with others. In college, we’d always get together to watch the latest episode, talk about it, etc. A shared experience is always better than sitting alone on your couch. […]

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.
