I’ve been holding back this interesting tidbit for a good amount of time now, but I think it’s time to let the news roam free. Here goes: I GOT A JOB! Wahoo, I say. I’ll be working for ThoughtWorks as a Business Analyst starting in August. Let’s see if I can’t dig up any formal…

Flickr got a new face!
flickrFace Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. And boy do I like it! They’ve switched from disorganized links all over the place to simple drop-down menus. Noice…now maybe I’ll be able to find links. They could still use a little work on the information architecture at the bottom of the screen, but they did make that significantly…

Damn it Apple. Why must you disappoint me?
So here I am at the Apple store in Chicago…disappointed. I came today to have them look at my iPod shuffle. It’s got a software issue because I pulled it from the computer before it was ready to be pulled from the computer. They just told me that the damage is not repairable, but they…

Playing with Flickr’s API
This evening I took some time out to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I played with Flickr‘s API for interacting with photos using PHP. I invite you to check out what I made. It’s not all that impressive, but still, it was fun to make…and maybe soon I’ll actually build…

Gone Missing: My Sunglasses
I somehow managed to lose my sunglasses in the past few weeks. I’m not really sure where they might have gone, but if you happen across a pair of Quicksilver Eddie sunglasses with a black frame and grey lenses, they’re probably mine. Right in time too…I could really use some sunglasses right about now. 🙁
