This has been out for a minute, but I finally gave Flavorpill Mobile more than a quick glance over and I have to say I’m quite impressed by what Flavorpill and Nihal Mehta’s crew at BuzzD Mobile were able to cook up. It’s an ultra-useful mobile version of Flavorpill’s multi-city nightlife and event guide available [...]

First, I’d like to thank everyone for coming. I appreciated the energy and enthusiasm — plus the good questions.

Above are the slides for the first part. For the second part, see the screencast “Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal“.

I should have the audio file up in a few days.

For the person who was having trouble using the “Sandbox” at opensourcecms.com, try the demo at http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/

If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me.

Again, thanks both to MLS and to the people who came!

Here’s some information on a new project of mine. “Google Alert Loop” uses Google’s free “Blogger” software and “Google Alerts” to create a webblog that auto-publishes itself based on mentions of specific alert topics sent to the email address specified. The idea is to create a self-perpetuating blog that will publish repeatedly until it begins [...]

Today I’m making a guest post to my friend Andrea’s blog, Some Things I Know. I know Andrea from college and every Friday she has a “Friend Friday” post, where a friend of hers posts an update. I’m excited to be included and I’ll link to the post here after she puts it [...]

My understanding of “Sales” has been much more clearly honed since I became a consultant. By definition you’re always selling yourself, as well as your services or products.  This is critical, and sometimes difficult to remember.
I was reminded of this today when coaching a client who is also a consultant. He has made an agreement [...]

Dear Ohio and Texas Readers (of which there may be three of you),
I have been giving some thought to the Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, and I really want y’all to get out and vote if you can.

… check out this awesome indoor bocce set. You could make it all “extreme” and play around your furniture, etc., too. Sasha (or a dog of your own choosing) could even be a course hazard to watch out for.

Stowe Boyd (AKA, “The Stowe Boyd”) held forth about Twitter last night at the DC Media Makers meeting. He opined that it’s useless to explain Twitter to people. You just have to tell them to try Twitter for a few weeks. And if they aren’t willing to do that, it’s useless explaining it.
“It’s useless to [...]

I’ve been working feverishly on a news visualization, trying to capture the buzz and conversations happening within the comment spaces around news articles online. Am very excited at the direction this is heading. I’ve posted my earlier screen-captures a couple of weeks ago. Today I have some images from another part of the visualization - [...]
