  1. The free software problem

    Rachel mentioned a story about a college professor who, to paraphrase, said that “we kids have no right to complain about all the websites we use (Google Mail, Facebook) because they’re giving everything to us for free”. Well sure, in the traditional economic sense, they are providing a lot for no monetary exchange. But that’s the [...]

  2. Posterous: three months in review

    One of the greatest hosted services on the web is Posterous (pronounced a few different ways but consensus is: pahst-err-uhs). I experimented with the service for a few months and came to love it. If you take photos, its great. If you record video or voice notes, it’s excellent. If you blog, magnificent. If you [...]

  7. WordPress 2.1 Rap

    So, I got a little bit of free time and decided to make a quick song dedicated to the new version of WordPress. Colin had the brilliant idea of using Nelly’s song “Air Force Ones’. So, I did this a number of weeks ago thinking I’d have time to make a video. I don’t. So, [...]

  8. It’s Called WordPress

    I’ve been quietly working on a silly project — they’re good to throw into the mix every now and again. It started in the 9rules member forum.
