not so bryght anymore
File this one under things-i-should-have-blogged-weeks-ago, but it’s been brought to my attention that perhaps I should say something “official”: I have left Bryght. Yes, it’s true… after three years with the company I co-founded - the first drupal company - I am moving on. There is little gossip involved, I’m sorry to report. Bryght has a great team full of...
Drupal awarded OpenID Bounty!
OK, so I knew it was coming, but I’m super excited to announce that Drupal was amongst the first 3 projects to be awarded the $5000 USD bounty. The award comes for the work I was involved in bringing OpenID support to Drupal 6. Interestingly, Drupal was the only PHP-based application awarded in this initial round, the other two being Plone (written in Python) and DotNetNuke (written in...
Plaxo 3: in sync and OpenID enabled!
As I’ve lamented here before, I have had a hard time finding a successful, efficient way to keep all of my personal data (largely calendar and contact data) in sync across my systems and devices. Well, I had registered for a service known as Plaxo a while back to check it out. I can’t exactly remember why it didn’t stick at the time, but when I first saw Scoble talking about a...

macports vs fink?
In setting up a new mac os x machine for development, I seem to fiddle with the various choices out there. In one respect, I really like linux for having ‘one way’ (per distribution of course) for installing all of your system packages. On the mac, however, there are a couple choices:
Install everything from source: most control, biggest hassle
Install things from various binary...
meet macbook mingus
Well, I must say… 30 is off to a great start. I have spent this birthday week feeling overwhelmed by love and support. Thanks to everyone involved :) To cap what is has been an utterly fantastic week, I’m now the proud new owner of a shiny macbook pro. Check a huge one off the ol’ wishlist. I’m excited - *very* excited - to be in the land of intel. Parallels here I come!

thirty
I’ve never made a big thing about birthdays - especially my own - but, for several reasons, this birthday means a lot to me. It’s a very real marker for the close of an unbelievable decade in my life and the opening of an exciting new chapter. When I look back at my 20s, I usually have a hard time believing it was all one decade… so much happened and so much changed. In...
Happy 07/07/07
It’s just shortly after 07:07pm on 07/07/07 … I guess it happens every year these days, but for some reason I find it kinda neat. Also , I was just three days off from being born on 07/07/77 - which woulda made my 30th birthday on 07/07/07. Ah well.
