American Flag

This guy gets paid to write:

Sean Locklear, Maurice Morris and Bobby Engram were the only two players who didn’t practice at well.

I usually try to give writers the benefit of the doubt, but there is so much wrong with that one rather short sentence that you’ve gotta start to wonder…

Thanks to Simeon, I’ve completely fallen in love with the Sprouts project and Luke Bayes, one of the co-creators, is awesome. Basically Sprouts uses a bunch of Ruby tools and workflow to help you quickly create Flex applications. One of the nice things is that it also generates all of the test suites for you. […]

quicksilver + scrivener = carpal bliss

My use of Scrivener has been increasing of late. I’ve had a few different projects that require the ongoing collection and shaping of ideas. Yojimbo is my general idea bucket, but when I am focusing in on a specific project, Scrivener works much better for collecting, arranging and developing ideas and research in one place.

Showing Up on Seattlest

About a week ago my friend Mike messaged me on Google Talk with a link to an article at Seattlest, a blog I read regularly. Upon reaching the article, I immediately recognized my own photo included at the top.
