The Trouble with Pizza Girls

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

The trouble with pizza girls (and everyone else these days) is that they blog.
I love the internet and its bountious opportunities for citizen journalism.  Ten years ago you would never have heard this story.

WOMA Needs a Website

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Janet Meiners posted about an upcoming Wasach Online Marketing Association (WOMA) meeting with CJ (Commission Junction).  It sounds like WOMA does some really fun stuff, but for being all about internet marketing, I’m surprised that it has basically no internet presence at all.  Month after month I’ve been waiting for a WOMA website to appear, [...]

3DTRIS = Online 3D Tetris

Friday, September 8th, 2006

3DTRIS, a new online flash clone of Blockout is pretty fun. It’s actually remarkably easy to use, for a 3D game, but the game play is still quite difficult when it gets going fast. Takes me back.
In other nerdy news, I’ve created 0D Tetris for those of us who love Tetris in all dimensions.
Here it [...]

Custom Search Engines for Firefox

Friday, May 19th, 2006

I created a little Firefox search engine add-on for LDSMedia (a company with which I am affiliated with through Provo Labs). (LDSMedia is a search engine site with tons of indexed LDS content –wonderful for doing LDS research, study, lesson preparation, etc.)
Anyway, now you can search LDS content right from your Firefox browser by installing [...]

Online Word Processing with Writely

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

If you haven’t seen Writely (the beta online word processor) yet, you really should check it out. I think the “online platform” thing is going to be huge, and (although I love Excel) I hope Writely rocks proprietary Microsoft to its core. Writely looks sharp and is sure to grow with the funding and reputation [...]

Introducing Google SketchUp

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

It looks like Google SketchUp is now live. But besides enabling users to put mock ups on Google Earth, I’m having a hard time seeing how this acquisition fits into its Google’s overall search strategy. Still, it looks pretty cool and will probably be great for branding. Plus, I believe that if it’s cool enough, [...]

Category-Specific Feeds in WordPress

Friday, April 21st, 2006

Most people don’t know this, but WordPress automatically builds RSS feeds for specific categories. So if you wanted to syndicate only “tech” stories from the Jordy Blog, you could use this feed:

To view which id you could use for a category-specific feed, just click on a category and see what is listed in the [...]

UVLUG on IPv6

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

UVLUG will host Dave Heldenbrand’s presentation on IPv6 this Saturday.
From Answers.com:
“IPv4 supports 4.2 billion addresses, which is inadequate for giving even one address to every living person, much less support the burgeoning market for connective devices. IPv6 addresses this problem by supporting 340 undecillion addresses. For scale, this would allow an average of about 430 [...]

Free DNS

Friday, January 20th, 2006

I’m using a great free DNS service for the Provo Labs small business portfolio. EveryDNS lets you manage up to 20 URLs for free, but you get an unlimited number for 15 bucks or so. EveryDNS is a pretty cool service because it doesn’t abstract the details from you, and it’s much better to [...]

SSS is a Hit!

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

A few days ago, Dave posted about Software for Starving Students on Digg, and the downloads started coming immediately. With well over 20,000 downloads the last time I checked (a couple of days ago), the project has become a major success. We’ve transferred over 11 terabytes of data and our seeders have held up fine, [...]
