With Jennifer and a houseful of stuff finally in town, we’ve got our unpacking work cut out for us. For better or worse, Vidoop is currently marching toward our next big product wave before the end of September.

Made it to Tulsa last night right around midnight. My “Where you at?” tool wasn’t quite as exciting to follow along with as I hoped it would be–we spent most of Day 2 in the mountains of Utah with terrible cellular reception, and then on Day 3, we were on I-40 the whole day so [...]

Also, the Captain called the other pilot his Co-Captain, which is a fine title, I suppose, but it sounds a little like their [...]
I finally got around to posting a listing on Craig’s List about a week ago. It had one of the simplest identity mechanisms I’ve ever seen. Instead of having to create an account, all I had to do before Craig’s List considered me fully introduced was to provide an email address. A magic link was [...]
My current project (http://myvidoop.com) had a bug earlier where the user agent string from IE on my home computer is extremely long and causes the web site to behave incorrectly. I had the same problem when I was working on Live Image Search. In the case of Image Search, the long connection string would trigger [...]
