I ♥ software, I ⚡ software.
Hey, here’s a quick summary of me and some sites I participate on. There are more
but these are the ones I care most about. You can click the links to go directly to the
profile I’m describing.
Simpleform is the company my wife and I started when I left
Federated Media. It’s nearly
two years old and still going strong—something we are immensely proud of.
Our first product was launched in May of 2011 to a wonderful reception. With two million
unique visitors (as of August 20th) it’s proven itself to be a great daily
destination for people looking for an entertaining, fun, and engaged community.
Of the major social networks, Twitter is my absolute favorite. It’s no
coincidence that I’ve favored nearly 20,000 tweets in the five years
I’ve been a member. I love that place.
I’m trying to use LinkedIn a bit more. If we’ve worked together or
we know eachother in some way please feel free to connect with me. Mention
how we know eachother if I might not remember you.
I listen to a lot of music. I’ve logged over 65,000 songs since 2003. Let’s
be friends.
In 2010 I only listened to music released in 2010. It was a challenge, but
Rdio really helped make it happen. Since then it’s the
only way I listen to music.
I used to use Flickr a lot. I still consider it one of the best engineered,
managed, and designed sites on the web. It’s a huge motivator in my work
life and is easily the the site we discuss most at the office.
“Well, what did Flickr do?”
is a phrase we use often.
I’ve had a weblog for over 10 years. I don’t really know how long I’ve been
writing online but it’s been a while.
