With The Band

As I have recently moved into downtown Bethesda, and my girlfriend Alex has moved into Dupont Circle, we find ourselves eating out at a restaurant more often than not (even though we both love to cook). We’re always up for trying new things, so we rarely visit a restaurant more than once. For that reason, […]

A while back I had posted my thoughts on the future of television. Other people, such as Jeff Pulver, have also had this in their crosshairs.
While others are entrenched in how we will watch TV, and where it’s coming from. I’m more interested in what we do while watching TV, particularly integrating the social element […]

When I first made the jump from a big consulting company to a tiny creative agency, I was worried I would be spending most of my time doing small boring web projects. Yeah, right.
As if I the C-SPAN Convention Hubs that I wrote on earlier weren’t successful enough, we at JESS3 teamed up with C-SPAN […]

JESS3 has been working on a not-so-secret project for C-SPAN in the past few weeks.
TechCrunch, the best tech blog out there, just reported on it. C-SPAN is still ironing out some last issues, but IT’S ALIVE!
Read it.
A very big moment!
Much more to come about it later.

Stemming out of an heated conversation about who knows what, an idea was born. Jesse and I decided to hold off client projects for one day (just one, calm down!) and set out to build an entire Facebook application from scratch. We had tossed around different ideas in the week before, but by the time […]

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 […]
