Make That Scrilla
I want to tell people how to run their businesses. Like agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky's irreverent consulting for Burger King—the ads featuring the King with the plastic head, the motocross chicken video game, talk of them writing a movie…

Designing While Intoxicated
To put a weary metaphor to rest, I will do my best to never again refer to absorbing the internet as drinking from a fire hose. At first I was reluctant to use Google Reader. Alex and John convinced…
IDES 322: A Day In The Life
With everyone well-rested after the break, we will be reviewing your instructables and gathering feedback about your experiences putting work out in the world. Our hope is to have the presence of an audience motivate the work and create…
Ticket System Poetry
Sometimes in the middle of a work flow, I experience a moment of that is more akin to reading poetry. This is a perfect example. I opened a ticket asking John to add a formatting bar to the rich text…
Cloud Computing: Defending the Undefinable
My notes from the 2009 Cloud Computing panel at SxSW Interactive. My own research seems to dominate the comments below... oh well, it's useful stuff! Cloud Computing: Defending the Undefinable The brave new world of cloud computing is radically…

Notes from the "iPhone development for experienced web developers" SxSW Interactive panel
Quick and dirty notes on an excellent panel. Joshua Siler, babcock jenkins VP of Tech, web developer Jordon Lev, senior developer [I know some of this stuff already, comments from me are in brackets] They do relationship marketing for sun,…
To Have And To Hold
ZINES! What purpose do they serve now that everything is a blog? You actually have to go to a drop point to get a copy. It might even cost money. It doesn't alert you when new content is available.…
pkContextCMS: a sneak preview for the worthy
We've built a lot of sites over the past few years that emphasize a smooth transition between browsing and editing. Frequently-used administrative stuff doesn't have to be hidden in a clumsy, generic back end application. And the editing experience…
Active Intersection
If you have passed our studio in the evening, you may have seen a rear projection installation in our window that faces E. Passyunk Avenue. University of Delaware professor, Ashley Pigford was inspired to create this site-specific piece after…
A jQuery progressive enhancement show in just N lines of code, where N is not a big number
I have bigger fish to fry in my Wednesday window blog post, but I wanted to share this snippet. A simple list of images like this one:
Ignite Philly (3)!
Bringing together great people for Ignite Philly on a weekday evening has been great... imagine what a Saturday night Ignite Philly will be like! That's right, we are beginning planning now for Ignite Philly (3). It will take place…
Simile For The Camera
I've been having an ongoing dialog/freakout with myself regarding authorship and creating content. My degree is in folding metaphorical envelopes and I'm tired of licking them. I want to be a letter writer, but I have nothing to say.…
IDES 322: Spring Break
Today will be a day to go over everybody's instructables project documentation and to reflect back on the first half of the semester. We will be meeting individually with you for the second half of the class period. We are…
The Past Didn't Go Anywhere
Why back in my day we walked uphill both ways through slushing sleeting flaming hydrogenated bat oil without iPhones and we liked it. Youngsters today have no [INSERT NOUN HERE]. Okay, so sometimes the old ways are retarded. Entertaining to…
Of Our Time
I am very thankful that colonial era architecture exists in Philadelphia. The materials, the scale of the rooms, and the original lack of indoor plumbing tell a story. These buildings embody an historical spirit that you can feel when…
