Mostly the logos have been sourced from here http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps. I was actually surprised how many applications and services I found that work with Twitter.

June 24, 2008

There are more challenges when it comes to optimizing for search engines to consume your content if it is a dynamic Rich UI application that doesn’t rely on Ajax. While Google is able to pick up Flash SWF files during its crawl, this does not guarantee that the content is parsed correctly or given the [...]

Silverlight 2.0 Twitter Widget

April 16, 2008

I’m on an RSS widget roll.  I put together a widget that is much like the Flickr widget only it uses Twitter as the source.  Now Twitter had to go and give me a hard time by recently changing their cross domain policy file to only allow specific sites. Because of this I had to [...]

The Gemini S9 lapboard

December 18, 2007

Take a look at the Gemini S9 lapboard. Looks like someone might actually be making it after all. Yay! I can’t wait to get my hands on one. It looks to be pretty close to the original design that I worked on. That part makes me happy. It’s too bad they didn’t base it on [...]

I recently got a Chumby and have been playing around with writing some widgets that I wanted. The first one is this Seattle Traffic Cam widget: I built it using OpenLaszlo instead of Adobe Flash tools since I don’t own a remotely recent version of the Flash software and I wasn’t going to spend $700 [...]
