I read more books in 2008 than George W. Bush

It wasn’t even close. I creamed “turd-blossom” too. As Karl “turd-blossom” Rove reports in the December 26th Wall Street Journal article, “Bush is a Book Lover,” the president read 40 books this year to Rove’s 65. Below is my list (so far).
aside: if you know grep and keep your books in Facebook’s iRead/weRead, you might [...]

What’s your iPhone wallpaper look like?

Taken in 2003 at the Tate Museum in London … just walking by a gallery and snapped this with a Canon Elan 7 35mm—sometime its better to shoot with the light in front of you.

iPhone Screen Shot

Via this gizmodo post I figured out how to take screen shots on my iPhone. I would not recommend trying this out (as I did) while viewing your photo albumn. You wind up looking at a screen shot of your photo album, its hard to figure out what you’re looking at…. Sort of a mirror-in-a-mirror [...]

Where the sidewalk ends

As I foreshadowed on Friday, here’s a New England Winter-in-the-city picture that you can count on. Boston, with days of warning, gives you–the pedestrain–a winter wonderland of challenges.

Katie bar the door

Peoples needs their websites

The last few months I’ve been working on building the new website for MIT Sloan Management Review. It is not perfect, its not done, there are known issues, but its there.
For the first time in 10 years of delivering web solutions for clients I’m finally in a place where I’m building something for my employer, [...]
