Impressions

By Josh | Published: November 26, 2008
Once I really started trying to catch up, it look less than a day. Here are a few observations I made along the way: Progressive lack of sleep1 combined with jetlag does not seem to help this process. The day that it took me only a small part of was Monday. I’ve got quite a [...]

Lighting Up

By Josh | Published: November 22, 2008
I sort of “went dark” this week. I was in Los Angeles for a few exhibits we worked on for the LA Auto Show. We flew out Monday and returned Friday. At some point on Tuesday, I was definitely caught up in NetNewsWire for iPhone. By Friday morning it had been at least a couple [...]

By Josh | Published: May 23, 2008
In an earlier draft I was going to put some witty joke in here about lawyers being out of control. I finally came to my senses — obvious jokes aren’t jokes at all, they’re just annoying. Now, if only I had an intro to put here that I didn’t think was stupid: You shall, in [...]

Site Notes

By Josh | Published: May 23, 2008
Aside from the normal messing around with my style sheets, I added an early version of a Pepper I’m working on this week. I had a QuickTime checker in there before, but it was triggering the information bar in IE. Sure, “works in IE” isn’t exactly my driving concern here, but still. Let me know [...]
