This is the last of a three part series: [ Part 1 | Part 2 ]

So I left off in part 2 with two problems: image load/download delay times and recent Internet Explorer security.

The first problem turns out to be easy to solve. If you want to wait to trigger a javascript event until […]

Awards are flying around like crazy these days. My dear friend Erica (& team at the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell) recently won a second place award for interactive multimedia design from Science magazine. It’s a cool app to visualize animal sounds while watching video and listening to the animal:

The user can listen […]

For a few weeks we chugged along happily with Google Analytics (still supplemented with pphlogger because Analytics only updates every 24 hours). When we started working with a search engine optimization company (to help our search engine results & […]

My buddy George won the first Pizzigati Prize For Software in the Public Interest for his work on the CitizenSpeak project. (I suspected he may have won when, some time after the prize contenders were announced, he began asking me questions about exactly how he ended up working on it.) He was up […]

At Pando, our primary goal at the moment is to get our app into the hands of all of the people that need it. Because it solves an increasingly common problem (”how do I send these big files around?”), […]

It does great syntax hilighting for coding, supports grep-like regular expressions and you can even plug in perl scripts for […]

Between starting a new job and the warm weather bringing a stream of friends to the city, I’ve been neglecting this little digital corner. So far the job is going well. I’ve built out a few projects (including my first Drupal module which I hope to release soon) and I’m waiting for them […]

I’m finally starting to wade into the land of all things Drupal/CiviCRM at “the job” and also for some side projects (one which I hope we’ll have ready soon!). For those not in the know, Drupal is a platform on which to build community and other highly interactive web sites (blogs, portals, directories, forums, […]

The last two days I’ve used two basic math equations for a practical purpose — so all you middle schoolers out there, this stuff does eventually come in handy. Really.
The first was the pythagorean theorem — remember a2+b2=c2? Well, I bought a projector screen on Ebay and wanted to know how wide it […]
