My brother Luke sent me a link to a cool online favicon maker he used to make a favicon for my new company, Izeni. It’s pretty easy to use, so I made one for my blog as well. (Yes, it’s that same ugly pic, just smaller). Anyway, it’s kind of fun. If I’d known it [...]

Many of my readers will already know that Gabe and I have been busy launching a business for the last few months.
Well, we’ve finally got Izeni officially incorporated, and since we hope to launch our first product soon, we decided we’d better get something of a corporate website thrown together.
It’s really not much content-wise, but [...]

Tonight for example, the Utah Tech Events and Utah Business Events calendars show four events in which I [...]

I posted the other day about how universal wishlists are one of the ways the walls of traditional marketing are coming down. In a broader sense, this trend is going on all over the place: the walls of the walled gardens are coming down as big companies realize that customers don’t like to be corralled. [...]

Universal Wishlist Review
I’m not a big shopper, especially when it comes to traditional brick-and-morter stores, but the internet marketer in me loves new features that make online shopping more pleasant. Such is Amazon’s new Universal Wishlist feature. (OK, it’s not that new, but it’s still awesome.)
I love Amazon’s Universal Wishlist because it allows me to [...]

OS reinstallation would be much easier with a plugin that could dump your entire list of Firefox plugins and reload them later.
Does anybody know of a plugin like that? I’ve used screenshots to remember which plugins I’d installed, then reinstalled them one at a time, but that’s a remarkably sucky way to go.

The new Ubuntu is out. Download it here if you haven’t already.
For my non-technical readers:
Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux, an operating system that can replace Windows. Linux is open sourced, meaning you can look at the code and see how it works. It’s also free to download and includes a ton of world-class open-source [...]

Don’t forget about the inaugural meeting of Utah Mobile Developers Group tonight. They’ll be discussing both iPhone and Android development and handing out some O’Reilly iPhone books.
I have a feeling that this group is going to be awesome. At least it will be for me; it’s right up the alley of what my new business [...]

I thought it interesting that the Google 2001 index had only 671 search results for “Barack Obama“.
“Sarah Palin” had 0 results.
These old indexes are interesting, especially if you’re searching for old data. I hope we see more of them.
