2009
Going to Red Stag Supperclub with Tammy because Andrew Eklund talks about it all the time. Must be good! Ordering a Surly Furious. 🙂
At the pharmacy again. Feel like this is happening more in recent years. Getting old?
How Shift Lenses Change your Life ← I haven’t played with a tilt-shift lens before, but seeing some of the cool things you can do with one it makes me want to play.
Poem on kids step stool.
This little stool is mine
I use it all the time
To reach the thing I couldn’t
And lots of things I shouldn’t.
At One+One.
“Fresh pain”?
Finished the book for my book club! Meeting is tomorrow, just in time. Now I can catch up on everything I haven’t been doing while reading.
Alocola Brings Location Info to the Web
My buddy Dan Grigsby has just launched his first iPhone application. The application fills an interesting gap, it allows a web site to get the location information from the iPhone. Sure, iPhone applications can do this with the iPhone SDK, but if you are a plain old web site or web application (and yes, there is still a place for them), Alocola will allow you to get that information via the web. Alocola is a helper application that Safari launches and then it just gets the location info and returns it back to the requesting website. Slick! Great idea.
All the cooler, Dan will be making the source code available under GPL2.
The next Minnedemo is now scheduled for February 6, 2009 at 7:00pm. It is free (as always), but registration is required so go there and get signed up. There are about 260 open tickets left at this point.
Even though it is free that doesn’t mean you can leave your wallet at home. Intermedia Arts is the host for Minnedemo and they have fallen on some difficult times. There will be an opportunity to donate Intermedia Arts (read more about them) and I think the Minnedemo/Minnebar community should show its support with some donations.
I really enjoyed the last Minnedemo (at the same venue). It is a great chance to connect with a great group of local developers, entrepreneurs and a wide variety of other people – each of them very interesting!
Hope to see you there!
Update (January 25th)
I didn’t do a good enough job looking through my calendar. It turns out we are going to be heading out of town on the morning on February 6th for a ski weekend up north. I’m going to miss this Minnedemo. Bummer. Hope everyone else has a great time!
