My daughter created some cute "Ninja Bunny" products for sale on Zazzle.com. She's created a Facebook page, too!


Time to see how many people "Like" these characters!

I'm starting a separate blog about team and project management failures (and how to prevent them.) I'm going to start with a list of my favorite books about team building and management, and go from there.

(I'm using Python and Pelican because I'm moving away from Drupal and PHP.)

The Light Box is a Google+ community that allows people to submit photos for community review. Qualified community members 'vote' on photos by leaving a comment with sequential hashtags like "#delete1", "#delete2", "save5", etc. The when the saves or deletes reach 10, we have a winner (the first to reach the threshold wins.)

Streamer is a simple Python script that dumps tweets using Twitter's streaming API via the statuses/filter method.

I've been working on a web app that tracks and displays recent social media trends.

During the limited beta test, I'm using it to monitor social media trends for sex, drugs, and coffee.

What's an evercookie?

An evercookie is a persistent cookie that uses numerous clever techniques to avoid full deletion by the user. Think of it as a "super-cookie" that can be used to track your online activities even though you have taken steps to protect yourself, and you think you are protected against tracking.

To make matters worse, evercookies use something known as a local shared object (a Flash variable) to provide cross-browser tracking. This is another great reason to block Flash by default -- if you are a FireFox user, you really should be using FlashBlock, NoScript, or other techniques to avoid auto-loading Flash animations in your browser.

I found this on Zazzle.com -- a funny bumper sticker:

Our daughter, Catrina, has completed her first all-digital work. This is a digital portrait of "Honey", her Grandmother's Apple-headed Chihuahua. Catrina loves Chihuahuas...

"Honey", by Catrina Curry

You can see more of her works in her gallery.

The Wacom CINTIQ 21UX (DTK2100) 21-Inch Pen Display is just awesome. I'm thinking of ordering one soon.

Seems like many online vendors are backordered one to two weeks. Is this due to popularity or is there a production issue that's preventing shops from restocking?
