I recently wrote about Cloud Computing. Alain Benedict from Morph Exchange told me that I neglected to add his company to the list. I said I would check it out. He said he would hold me to it. Last night I spent a little quality with Morph and now have a few impressions to share….
Evil Wrapped in Chocolate
My buddies at work find bacon chocolate chip cookies. That is gross and disturbing. My wife found a recipe for truffles made with Oreos mixed with cream cheese and coated with white chocolate. This represents everything that is wrong and right with our society all at once. We’re going to make some for game night.
Happy Smiley Guy
I can’t ever seem to remember Brent Carpenter’s name which is probably rude, but I have heard people here in Logan refer to him as happy, smiley guy. Almost any day of the week he can be seen riding his bike around town. He has a horn on it that he honks and he waves…
Our First ‘Phone Call’
My daughters are in kindergarten this year. Today we got our first call from their teacher. Apparently, Aubrey pinched someone. Callie said that Aubrey realized when her teacher called and ran and hid under the bed. I guess she had to ‘pull a card’ at school which is a lot like being sentenced to 15…
Elastic Cloud Computing
One of the most difficult tasks when putting up a new site is picking the right host. Moving hosts later on is terribly difficult so choosing the correct hosting company is as important as selecting a business partner. I’ve collected about 30 hosting companies in my delicious bookmarks. Some are specific to a platform others…
Buddy Press Activity
There is a lot of buzz on the BuddyPress mailing list now that there is a list. What is interesting and cool is that the group is interested in using standards like OAuth, Microformats and OpenID. This is great news. I think one of the great strengths of WordPress has been its hackability. It is…
Interesting Things From Today
I ate pickle soup. It was awesome. Try new things you might be surprised. Evolution is bullshit. If it were real mankind would have evolved such that his hair did not migrate from the top of his head to his back, ears and nose as he grows older. I bought more cereal today. 13 boxes…
Fences
Now that the weather has warmed up a bit around here all of a sudden all my neighbors want to put up fences. I’m not exactly sure what I did, but I must admit that it is a bit disappointing to see. For several years the houses and yards around us have been open. All…
Make Facebook Butt Out
Marion told me that he rented ‘Enchanted’ for his kids from Blockbuster.com. Now in all his friend’s feeds it says ‘Marion rented Enchanted’. Maybe I am not truly social yet, but this activity makes Facebook into that really annoying neighbor who spies on you and then spreads neighborhood gossip. Time to butt out. They hide…
BuddyPress
There’s real information on the BuddyPress site today. I am so excited. This is one of the first steps towards easy to create, distributed social networks. Hopefully it is as easy to extend as WordPress.
