I always am. Thinking.

The designer of our new logo just sent in a final treatment. Wow. It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to unveil the new brand to the world. Come to think of it I will probably reveal it here first :)

I’m just staring at the logo. THIS is going to be our mark. Happy.

libevent has a handy little http library for making a simple yet scalable http server in c.

Listening to Jack Johnson.

Wondering.

Listening to that Death Cab cover again…

OSGi update

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:54:00 -0700

I spent most of the weekend coding up an idea I had. I learned a ton about OSGi and am building out a server side application (set of reusable plugins) based on the framework.

I’m not going to talk about what I’m up to until its actually gets closer to a usable state. It involves creating a base XMPP implementation and general message routing all based in OSGi. Theres a bit more to it than that but if you’re a real nerd you’ll read between the lines.

OSGi’s Declarative Services win btw.

How many followers do you have? or Am I more popular than you?

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:41:00 -0700

Many networks, including Tumblr, have a notion of people you follow and those who follow you. Tumblr keeps this data private thank god but other services proudly display the numbers for all to see.

Humans are desperate to quantify their existence. In today’s world, the number of followers or friends you have on a social network is becoming a standard among the self-obsessed. Its fucking sad.

People are fixated on this statistically insignificant number. Some try to make sense of the ratio of the people you follow to the people that follow you. The assumption here is that you a infinitely more cool if you follow less people than those that follow you. The logic goes like this: you’re so fucking busy being awesome that if you were to even attempt to follow the number of people that follow you a personal assistant would be required.

Also, if you someone unfollows you you shouldn’t feel sad. If you do: the machines have won.

“You don’t need to know which web browser I support, or what blog-network I’m a part of. You don’t need me to point you to a social-bookmarking site, because chances are, you know them already. And if not, Google is always right there. You don’t need know what song I just listened to, because hopefully you have your own soundtrack. And I don’t think knowing what book I last read is of any real use to you unless I write a lengthy review and tell you what I thought of it.”

My Saturday Night

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:20:53 -0700

Miller Lite and coding up a neat idea. My mood tonight brought to you by the album Lost and Gone Forever by Guster.

I’m surprised I even wanted a beer after yesterday. I pretty much drank from 2pm until falling sleep. I even drank Bud; proof that I was shitfaced.

What are we celebrating today?

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:27:09 -0700

Think about that.

I think we are celebrating the spirit of something that barely has a pulse anymore.

Lets face it: this day is mostly about stuffing your face and watching things explode. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing.

That shouldn’t make sense to you but thats what I’m up to this Thursday night.

Holidays are weird when you run your own business. I have to remember that I’m not supposed to work and all. Taking off tomorrow will be confusing.

“So, basically, the typical Coors customer, according to the company itself, has the intelligence of an aluminum can. Or less, actually, since it’s the can, not the guy, that knows when the beer is cold enough to drink.”
