Thinking about making individual repos for client projects instead of using a master repo. All for client access and hooking into basecamp. 4 hrs ago
I have my iPod Video. What should I be using to convert my video on a mac? I should know this but what do you use? iSquint?
I hope Jason isn’t the only one to answer.
Update: A quick Google search came up with this.
Guess I’ll be using my PC once again, this time for my tivo content.
As you can tell, if your not reading this post in RSS, I’ve changed a few things. Namely just making everything bigger; bigger fonts, bigger header, and flexible width. I think it’s been enough time for me to move to flexible width site after many discussions (mostly w/ Jared) about how sites should not be fixed width.
There are still a few things I need to fix but I’ll probably pass since I rather not spend the time into the minor…
I always thought Digg had issues. Especially with quality but this, something I’ve noticed as well, is something much more troubling.
I find site rivalries boring, but growing concerns over Digg “censorship” have been submitted steadily for the last few months. Today two such stories were submitted so numerous that I had little choice but to post. The first claims that Digg is the editor’s playground- it explains how a few users control Digg, and that it’s not really the ‘Democracy’…
A couple weeks ago I noticed Costco had the XBox 360 and I hesitated more then once. I always said I’d wait after the bestbuy debacle. What made me follow through with this purchase was Costco’s awesome return policy, I said to myself, “I’ll use it for a couple weeks and if I don’t use it enough to warrant the purchase I’ll take it back”. It’s been just a week and I don’t see myself taking it back. Key reasons:
Media…
I’ve been using Newsvine for a while now and I just can’t get over how great it could be. The problem as I see it, no users. I know they just opened out of beta but the tech news featured is old and tired. Compared to Digg: Digg is up to date and rich with links, Newsvine’s content is “smarter”, full and the userbase is reliable and knowledgeable (noticeable in the comments, newsvine comments are not fueled with flames).
The problem as…
Thinking about another re-design. Only this time it will be really easy to do since I know exactly how to go about coding it. What I’m going to do is the real problem.
Thoughts on what I want:
Little lighter, with a “light switch”. (theme switcher)
Variable width
Wider single column
For the “sliders”:
?Sidebar slideouts?
?Sidebar hidden elements?
Just within the links in the new header
Header ideas:
Three pieces. Main links, sliders then content. (similar to BB)
Other:
I really like having activity on the post pages like NAS.

I had to close this conversation into a new thread or post becuase my rebuttel needed a new post.
Please read Jared’s comment first.
Okay, I still don’t agree that you can say that having no sidebars is usability deficient because the only way you can get away with that statement is if you avoid the other pieces of the definition of usability.
Something that usability has is a “former view”. Yes, the former view of blogs is a content column and a sidebar column.…
Asked “why the blank space on the sides?”
I have to say, I don’t like sidebars, I think they clutter up space too much and if you can avoid them you might as well. My index has everything on it that I want, nothing other then blog links or a shoutbox I could add and feel pleased about the purpose of the addition.
My next release I plan another “slider” with the activity and a shoutbox at the top. Then I’ll make the…
Even though I am very content with my Nano I still am very excited about the next iPod rumors.
And even if it doesn’t come with Bluetooth or WiFi I would still be one of the first to order it.
Keeping on track, what iPod features would make up the ULTIMATE iPod.
Michael has a great post on the Apple/Pixar/Disney deal.
Notice I put Apple in there, it looks as if they will be a big proponent in this new digital age for Disney.
Also, I was going to write about this deal with my own opinions but instead I rather just paste what others wrote and I feel the same way about.
“It would also be interesting to see if he can convince them to release movies in iTunes music store AT THE SAME time…
