2013 Resolutions and 2012 Recap

These were my high priority resolutions for 2012: I will start investing. Status: Success! I definitely feel like I have taken reasonable control over my personal finances. I will not eat deep-fried food on weekdays. Status: Success! I actually really liked doing this. It made me feel healthier and more energetic, so I’m going to elevate this from a simple New Year’s resolution to a...

My 2012 New Year's Resolutions

After graduating college in May and starting my first job in June, it became increasingly apparent that I was transforming into a real person. For me, the transformation began when I transferred the title of a vehicle and became the official owner of my car. Then I started budgeting, paying for car insurance, not having an excuse to not buy my friends gifts for the holidays, etc. Right now, I...

Thoughts on the recent Facebook changes

The good: Better separation between comments - I love the 1px border and the 4px padding on the bottom of each comment. (screenshot) Subtle drop-shadow on the top bar - So sexy (screenshot) More detail about a ticker story on hover - Especially photo-related stories (screenshot) [Update 2:20PM PST] Send Birthday wall posts from the homepage - So convenient (screenshot) [Update 2:32PM PST] On...

April Updates

I can’t believe that I’m graduating college in less than 3 weeks! But after 4 incredible years at Claremont McKenna College, I definitely feel ready to enter the real world. Back in February, I accepted an offer to work at Wildfire Interactive, Inc. as a junior product manager. I can’t wait to start in early June (and reinforce the Zuckerberg stronghold in Silicon Valley)! ...

unprojects: One thing I’ve noticed across the board in the tech world is that friends who gravitate to the CEO/Founder role get jazzed about Domain Names. We spend our time on Domai.nr, Dotster, 101Domains (or whatevs) searching for the perfect matches and cursing the squatters. We stay up late into the night or hop out of the shower in the morning dripping wet to check if these domains are...

Kevin Burke on Watson and Jeopardy

My friend Kevin Burke wrote an interesting blog post about IBM’s Watson, the computer that took on Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter on Jeopardy. Kevin doesn’t directly mention it, but he hints at a distinction between human intelligence and machine intelligence. He says: I don’t think Jeopardy is a very good measure of intelligence; it measures your knowledge of obscure trivia, as well as...

I just submitted a new theme to tumblr’s theme garden called Nantucket5. It’s an HTML5 theme built on a 960 grid with a left sidebar. I named it Nantucket5 because the default colors are very, well, Nantucket-y, but everything is customizable (fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.). It hasn’t been approved yet (since I just submitted it three minutes ago), but look out for it in a...

djtxt - Crowdsourced Party Playlist

djtxt democratizes your party playlist by letting your friends SMS their song requests, which are then automatically added to your grooveshark queue. People can also text “skip” if they don’t like the current song that’s playing. I haven’t tried it out yet, but it seems simple and useful.
