So my brother and I did this over the holidays. I understand now what Garrick van Buren likes so much about the game. Also, my Kubb set received its baptism of rain and music. It is broken in...

One of the things I picked up from Jamie and Garrick talking nerd stuff on this episode of the Open Loop podcast was a reference to the open source project Piwik. Despite this thing having millions of downloads, I had never heard of it. Basically, it is an open source version of Google Analytics...

I had occasion to correspond with Garrick van Buren. I had made a post a while back that I missed his First Crack podcast. He focussed on people and businesses local to him, and they were always interesting. When my daughter was born I went back to look up the nut who had the Daddyator workout,...

read articleWhat a Long Podcast Queue Means To Me
Obsessive podcast dork post warning - if you are uninterested in the deep miscellany of how one listener handles his podcasts, this post may not be for you.

read articleThe Downside of the Cullect Widget
A couple months ago I put the Cullect widget on this blog's sidebar. I've been trying to support Garrick van Buren and Cullect, mostly because he has always been a strong supporter of most or all of my projects and I owe him some karmic debt. There is one problem with that, though. When I first put...
read articleCullect
I've been watching Garrick van Buren's Cullect project for a while now. I'll admit that I feel a little guilty about it because I've taken several runs at it and I always feel like I'm not grokking the full power of it. I mean, it seems like it has a lot to offer and is interesting but I'm not sure...
read articleTwitter Zeitgeist
My Twitter fast continues. I've looked at it for less than 15 minutes each for the last two days. As I tweeted yesterday: I thought that I would miss Twitter like an addict craving a fix. Instead it felt more like having a hypnotist cure a nervous tic overnight. Garrick van Buren forwarded me a...

More on the overexposure front. I did an interview with Bazooka Joe at the Small World podcast all about the Uplifter movement and philosphy. I might do another one with him on AmigoFish as well, because I have not yet worn out my welcome completely. Obviously, that means I have work to do. I also...
