Finally back in the city. You didn't know I left? I went out the back. Departure is such sweet sorrow and seeing you would be too much to handle.

Wrapping up this summer. Before my exodus on vacation (VT/ME) I finished up my summer stay at TODA. I had a great time there made some awesome friends and will be returning to finish up a few projects that weren't quite ready for prime time when I left two weeks ago.

Summer is sizzling down and the school year is winding up. I'm still trying to finalize my classes for next semester, get organized and figure out which way is up (before the deluge of work hits and I'm screaming like a downed sea plane victim in the ocean of my desire to get smart). Hope you fed the cats while I was gone. Oh, wait Alicia took care of that. Whew...

Aparently:
Pirates doesn't give a fuck about Apple,
India doesn't give a fuck about Microsoft,
and the Flickr GeoTaggin is pretty damn fresh.

Go Banksy.

Wow look at that! I mention penis on my web site and traffic more than doubles. Maybe its a magic word. Penis Penis Penis. Anything happen? Maybe not. Who knows. Anyway, now for something completely different:

And, in case I haven't plugged this one enough, Mike Bukhin and I will presenting the WayMarkr project at Conflux. The project is due for beta release at the conference. If you have a Series 60 phone and are interested in beta testing contact me.

Conflux was recently blogged on We Make Money Not Art.

And yes, there will be more shameless plugs for the WayMarkr as the release date gets closer. Image left courtesy Ze Frank.

Two projects getting press recently: Penis Perfect by Peter Miller and The Popularity Dialer by Jenny Chowdhury and Cory Forsyt.

Both projects, in their own way reaffirm us that everything will be OK. In the case of Penis Perfect, men taking a leak are reaffirmed that their penis is perfect at the very moment they might be self conscious of their member (due to their surroundings, or social situation). The Popularity Dialer, on the other hand allows users to self indulge by scheduling affirmation calls for themselves. Both projects, very enjoyable.
