So my site has been down for a bit… I hope nobody noticed ;) But I pulled this video off of the 37signals blog A good listen I just realized i needed a failure category since i seem to talk about it so much.

I have finally stumbled on a collaborative text editor! This in combination with hamachi would make an nice virtual office where everybody could collaborate quite easily. Although I must admit that I haven’t used hamachi since LogMeIn bought them up. But this is a quick way to throw together a vpn and a collabarative editor to work with people on web things no matter if they are running windows, linux, or a Mac.

I haven’t been posting much but that is because I haven’t wanted to! Okay so I should say I have been busy and all that which I have in learning cakephp, working on other things like AASPO News Site as part of the launching of the news site I put together this little video and placed it on www.viddler.com. Viddler is pretty cool I really like their user interface much better than google video. So here is the video:

comments and critiques appreciated

Its been a bit since I have posted. I have good excuses the best excuse is that its my blog and I can post when I want! The other good excuse is that I recently started a new job as an internet coach at Prosper learning. So between the move and getting up to speed here at Prosper I have been pretty busy. I have been working on a few things of note. First off the WidgetNest blog the Incubator has finally launched!

Also I recently helped get Adoma’s Afri Crafts up and running. It is using the drupal CMS and the really cool ubercart module. The image to the left is a sample of some of the neat Free inspirational Desktop wallpapers that you can get there.

Chris Hall is an amazing designer. Chris you did amazing work with those presidential widgets! Good luck on your move. Look forward to working with you in the future on some more cool projects.

Dave pointed me to an article written about Jason Calacanis’s new venture mahalo. I agree with Dave that Mahalo makes more sense now.

However “Go mahalo it“, “I mahaloed him” just don’t have the same ring as the google’s.  So maybe Jason should look at grabbing some domain name like tinyask.com (your welcome dave expect a check from Jason any day now). “Go tinyask it” … Nope doesn’t sound good either.

Ahh well hopefully they will figure something out. Maybe they should read some Dr. Suess for inspiration.

Step7 Design is the new company that I am doing web design work for. So if you are looking at getting a website please head over to www.step7design.com

    What to write about? The first post is always the hardest. Well Currently as of the writing of this post I needed a distraction from my other activity of creating and starting Step7 Design.  It is fun and exciting and a little scary to go out on your own, but I have a great associate Dave who does some amazing stuff with flash and web sites.

There are many things out there for a couple of guys who live and breath web design to-do the hard part is narrowing down and focusing on the small things. The other hard part is trying to figure out how to get a business started without having to pay an over priced lawyer to tell you what you can do or can’t do. Sometimes it seems that it is too complicated. You talk with one person and they tell you that you need to do this this and this. Talk to somebody else and they say well you need to forget this this and this and do a,b, then c. Despite all of that I feel confidant that our design company will be a huge success(why else would i do it?).  Besides the fact that I really like it and I hate working as an employee.

Hmm what would it take to put adwords on this site?
