BBEdit Gems - a blog/site about BBEdit. All your text are belong to BBEdit.
Favicon from picture - Upload a photo, and they’ll create a new favicon.ico file for you to download and use for your site. Too cool. Have no idea what a favicon is? Then read this introduction.
This is too cool: Apple has posted a case study about EchoStorm which just happens to be run my David Barton and Jason Barton… old friends from my Mac Web days. Congrats Jason and David. Nice feature… and nice little business you guys are building there!
Well Designed URLs are Beautiful! - totally agreed.
Starting Photography, Digital Workflow, Orphans and Amazing Zooming Images from Donncha. Excellent Read.
Apples-to-Apples Comparison of the “Big Four” U.S. Wireless Providers’ Calling Plans - someone actually took time to compare the wireless plans from four carriers against each other… it’s still too confusing for me. I think the carriers like it that way.
Thomas Hawk’s Top 10 Tips for Getting Attention on Flickr - and to take one of his pieces of advice… You can see some of my photos from our recent cruise in my Flickr photostream.
Guy Kawasaki’s take on naming a company: “The Name Game”. Good read, as always.
A few technical notes from the middle of nowhere on our cruise:
I need a new laptop for the powerbook. Seriously. 50 minutes from charge to dead is unacceptable.
I should carry a small firewire drive with me all the time. The 30 GB iPod doesn’t count (it’s full of shit anyways)
I need a [...]
Just a note to say that the wife and I are taking a much needed vacation this week. We’ll think of all of you freezing your asses off here in the States, while we’re enjoying ourselves somewhere in the Caribbean (we’ll be on a cruise). If you email me, I won’t reply for [...]
MacRumors.com: First OS X Virus - it had to happen sometime.
This morning, I got up at 5:00 a.m. to drive to Dallas to call on two clients. It’s a 3 hour drive from Austin to Dallas, so last night, I made sure the iPod was loaded up with plenty of podcasts so I wouldn’t have to deal with the contant radio station changing that’s [...]
A few weeks ago, I spotted a Rocking Duck from Playsam in Skandinavia (oh the wonders of the internet) and it was on sale (never mind that the shipping cost as much as the duck).
I ordered one on impulse, because it was so damned cute. It arrived today, so I put it [...]
BadBossology.com - hehe: “How to deal with bad bosses, problem supervisors and difficult managers” I think this is just too funny that it has to be linked to.
20 Questions to Develop Your Business
Why Most VC’s Don’t Sign NDAs - from Brad Feld. Great read.
A few light links on which type of company structure to choose if you’re starting a company: What’s The Best Corporate Structure For An Early Stage Company?, and a follow up: S-Corp’s vs. LLC’s and this little gem Why the LLC is the Ruby on Rails of legal entities
In this post by Donncha, you’ll find a really good list of photoblogs that are worth subscribing to… great photos are my weakness.
In my aggregator tonight, I read this post by Scoble. So, being the early adopter that I am, I coded inluminent.com.
And, BlogCode told me that these sites were similar to mine, based on the other author’s own blogcoding:
Ben Metcalfe Blog - already subscribed.
pragma::weblog
Sam Hastings
Neil Gaiman’s Journal
Doctor Vee
Aprendiz de Todo [...]
Great little read for Mac OS X users: JeweledPlatypus on MenuBar items versus Dashboard Widgets - lots of great links to nifty little software packages.
This is the first example I’ve seen of Google Ads in Print - it’s pretty easy to tell that Google is making money off the phone calls for sure… those 800 numbers are specifically tied to this ad, and are calling “pay per call” ads. I wonder if they’re also making money off people that type in the URL directly to a browser? And I don’t get what the Sun-Times is thinking other than the fact that this might help them shore up ad revenue a little in the short term while the courts figure out how much money their old bosses stole from them.
Ted Leung on Portrait Books - a quick review of three books on taking portraits… great list of tips in the second mini-review.
Paying Yourself: From Startup and Beyond - “Determining your salary is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a business owner. Here’s how to do it.”
The Art of Schmoozing — Can I just shout this out loud now: “I LOVE READING GUY KAWASAKI!!!” … ok, got that off my chest… This post from Guy is one great example of why I wish I could work for the man. In fact, if I could afford to, I’d work for Guy with no pay, just to learn from the man.
