The Future of Media – An Observation
Living in a college town, and being a fairly socially active person, I hang out with a relatively large amount of college students (ages 19-24ish…). Recently I’ve realized a fairly significant generation gap. I was sitting in room with about 20 college students and asked them how many of them read blogs. The general reaction […]

Obama: The Real Change
I could resist a post about politics. My apologies. Flame away. This one was just too good. This last Saturday, SNL ran a hilarious opener skit spoofing Joe Biden who (say what you will about Palin) I believe to be the best material to come along for political humorists since… Dubya himself. The skit was […]

Coda Clips
Rogie King tweeted this awesome resource earlier today. I am a huge Coda fan. HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP IDE, Terminal, FTP, Site Management, and resources in one great package. One of the cooler features is it’s one-click code clips. I’ve always wanted more, but never bother to create them. Enter Coda Clips. Find and install (with a click!) […]

Working From Home
Michael Boyink has a great post with tips for working from home. Worth a read if you are fortunate enough to be able to do so. He has a nice summary paragraph at the end: > If you’re lucky enough to be able to work at home, don’t make it just a little mini office […]

Two-Way Syncing Google Calendar and iCal
Oh wow, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time! Built in syncing of iCal and gCal. It’s been possible to do it third party apps but I’ve always been a little suspicious of their efficacy (I have no data, only superstition there). Christian Warren posted about it on TUAW. Ahhh TUAW, not only […]

Leona Tomlinson: Understanding Disabilities when Designing a Website
Leona Tomlinson rounds up a great list of considerations when building a Web site to help ensure that it is actually accessible, rather than systematically meeting a list of guidelines. > …we must look further than the guidelines if we are to create websites which are accessible to users with disabilities and the assistive technologies […]

Target Settles Accessibility Suit for $6mm
And Web accessibility advocates everywhere are completely deflated. I know I’m a couple weeks late on this but I had to chime in. I’ve been following this case over time in hopes that we’d get some clarification to bring the Americans with Disabilities Act in line with the current media landscape. As with with most […]

Great Financial Advice
I have rules set up on my e-mail to filter newsletter-y mail to one folder and flyer-y e-mail (that I don’t want to unsubscribe from) into another (and several other rules). Every now and then I skim through these folders and then hit “delete all”. Today I decided to look at ING Direct’s newsletter for […]

A letter from myself, age 13
Today, I received a letter in the mail… from myself… age 13. No time warp or weird movie premise. Our class president mailed us our letters that were written in 7th grade as part of a time capsule project. It was great fun to read. It was also a little eerie to read some of […]

Adding Comments to Tumblr
You might have seen that I’ve been playing around with Tumblr at omni.mattheerema.com – using it to compile most of my different soc.net and blog feeds into one location. Not sure how useful it is, but it’s fun to play with. Tumblr has some great posting tools too. Maybe someday I’ll switch to it as […]

Getting Things Done: Make Time to Make
I’m not sure how many times I’ve recently told people that “my job has changed dramatically” and “all I do” now is answer e-mail and attend phone calls, whence my comment on twitter about being able to do 90% of my job on my new iPhone 3G (which continues to amaze me). I have definitely […]
