Dear Reader,
I’ve been working on a project for a while now and it’s finally ready for testing. Queuebuddy.com started life as a way to help me keep track of movies I want to see but don’t feel like paying to see in the theater. (If you are really curious, email me, I’ll give you [...]

My first Mashup - Revisited

Dear reader,
A while back, I built a cute little toy that let you track UPS packages on a Google map. My original title for this was “Where the hell is my stuff?” but since I wanted it to be more family friendly, I titled it “My First Mashup“.
Since then, I’ve presented this talk 3 [...]

I’m twittering

Dear Reader,
At Web 2.0 Expo, I finally got around to setting up a twitter account. (http://twitter.com/calevans) I’ll be honest, I think it’s a fad. I don’t see it as becoming a serious Internet tool/toy. but I’m going to play with it while I’m on the road. I do see some interesting things you might [...]

Web 2.0.3

Dear Reader,
Once again, I am in San Francisco for 2.5 days of buzzword laden sessions. This is the 3rd Web 2.0 conference put on by O’Reilly. The first one I enjoyed only by podcast but I listened to every one I could get my hands on. The second one occurred while I was actually residing [...]

Dear Reader,
As previously described, I’m now at The Ajax Experience. I have to say that I’m very impressed with the professionalism. From the handling of the speakers to the clockwork precision by which each event occurs, it is truly a well run conference.
It’s also a great conference content wise, not because I [...]

Dear Reader,
Ok, it’s been a long time since I had time to write some code I was proud enough to share. But here it is. Webthumbapi.
I knew when Joshua about this originally that it was something I wanted to play with. Now that I have it, I want to work it into Alexify [...]
