A Day in Paradise

Not sure if what I clicked through told me not to tell anyone about anything, but I just got my beta invite to Xcerion.
Xcerion is yet another OS-in-a-browser, although they prefer to call it “Cloud Computing” or “XML Internet OS”. I assume they say XML since that is probably the data transfer layer, as well […]

I played with picnik for a few minutes this morning. It was fairly interesting, a but slow and laggy, but not bad. Was a bit disappointed that as a pro member of flickr I don’t get the premium functionality of picnik.

… of getting bought up by google?
If 100% of your revenue is through google adsense, and google is making 100% (or more) on your 100%, then wouldn’t your worth to google be cut by 50%?
This is disregarding my “community in a box” article.

Don Dodge coined Web2.0 as “Web App + 2 Founders + 0 Revenue”. Funny, and not too far off the money.
Don goes into detail about the various ways that Web2.0 firms are funding their efforts. This goes from Freemium (free basic membership with paid premium package) to Subscriptions to simple Advertising.
One thing that he doesn’t […]

This is in response to Cal’s post on SEO experts.

It really depends on the framework… Zend Framework is very SEO framework. Others that rely on a lot of ajax or javascript POST callbacks to facilitate basic navigational tasks will stop a search engine dead in its tracks.
I have also seen frameworks which use strange http […]

Posted by mobile phone:I am watching cnbc while on the excersize bike while blogging (multitasking++). They had a very.short piece about how yahoo customer satisfaction has grown 3 percent to pass google who has dropped 3 percent.
When I look at the two platforms, I have very little loyalty to google products.
Google search: I […]

I have had an active account at backpackit for the last 2 years, I used it for a lot of different collaborative writing I was doing until Google Docs started kicking ass google style and I decided to move to that.
Now that I have several hundred documents in google docs, I am wondering how I […]

Yesterday I read the an article on Network Neutrality on CNN.com. The article was written by Craig Newmark of Craigslist and was VERY wrong.
Here’s part of what bothered me:
Here’s a real world example that shows how this would work. Let’s say you call Joe’s Pizza and the first thing you hear is a message saying […]

Reuters writes story about guy who films himself skiing down an escalator and then posts it on Youtube.
At T-4 you would think I would have better things to do… well, I pulled an all nighter last night and am about to take apart my desk.
Today is moving out day…

During my early morning browsing session I noticed the truth behind FF2’s choice in abbreviating the title from Jeremy’s latest blog entry “Google as our Culture“.

My name is Aaron Wormus, and I’ve been a card-carrying member of the Google Cult for 3 years. I grovel when my ranks are dumped, and squeal with joy when […]

The first version of this post was eaten when Y! Pipes decided to take down firefox (seemed to happen a lot when I was hovering over the sources waiting for the tooltip top pop up - FF1.5.0.9)
Y! Pipes is a cool toy. There is a lot of interesting functionality, but a lot that could […]

Hiro Nakamura from heroes is actually a code warrior in real life. His profile can be found at this great wired article.
“I’ve been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college,” said Oka. “ILM offered me an entry-level position at its Marin, California, […]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ve stopped using Backpackit completely. It was cool at first but then when we get past a certain number of articles, the system breaks down.
Plus google has spell checking, tagging, and a ton of other goodness. The only thing that I have to get used to […]

I’ve finally gotten around to testing this new google docs and spreadsheet thing they have. It’s pretty nice. Like with all things google I’m impressed with the speed and simplicity of the interface.
It looks like I’ll be dumping backpackit soon
Now I need to see how I can publish this to my […]

This one is at least a little more coherent. I agree with what they say, the problem, is that what they say doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you think my website is ugly and because of all the ugly sites the internet sucks. What matters is that despite (and in some cases, because) of […]
