Growth, Kudos and a New Chapter In My Web Life - Fri August, 29th 2008

After four years of Webfoolery™ at Digital Bungalow, today marks my final day with this Salem based interactive agency. It’s been a long and windy road, with more speed bumps than I care to remember, but on the whole, I will always remember Digital Bungalow as the place where I learned the majority of web knowledge.

Thank you Build Guild! - Tue July, 8th 2008

I just got home from the first meeting of the Build Guild, wow! I expected to have a good time, but not this good of a time. I got there just a few minutes before 6:30 and there were already fifteen or twenty people there. They collected business cards from about 35 attendees and gave away a kick ass adobe backpack and t-shirt… not to mention CS3 Web Premium edition. The beer was tasty and the conversation was memorable. Everyone there couldn’t have been nicer. A quick thanks to everyone I talked to. You all rock! If I didn't get to talk to you, I’m sure I’ll catch you at the next one. If you were unable to make it tonight, do not miss the next one in August, trust me. A big thank you to Marc Amos and Angelo Simeoni for creating this already very successful group. Keep your eyes on these two.

The Build Guild is tonight! - Tue July, 8th 2008

Today is a very exciting day. Tonight, web geeks will unite in Salem, MA for the first meeting of the build guild. Within a month, the build guild had already reached it's maximum capacity (dictated by the venue) with a total of 60+ being interested in the event. If you plan on going, I’ll be seeing you there. If you couldn’t RSVP before the cut off, move quickly to RSVP for August, though that’s probably going to be harder than finding a Wii at christmas.

An Event Apart Boston: Day 2 - Tue June, 24th 2008

I’m doing this with no warning. I thought about doing it yesterday but I didn't think I'd actually take the time to do it. While sitting here at An Event Apart, I'm going to attempt to live blog what's going on. I'll start with Ethan Marcotte’s Talk about Comps and Code and see where it goes from there.

Hello brightkite, Hello world - Fri April, 25th 2008

Today I joined the new location-based social network, brightkite. It’s a very interesting app. You “check in” at your current location, then you see who's nearby and what they’re doing. You can also link it up with twitter so that when you post to brightkite, your post shows up on twitter with a link to a map of where you are. You’ll have to check it out to see if it’s your type of thing, so far, I like it. I do have an invite left if anyone is interested, just email me.
