Camu Tao - When You’re Going Down

I don’t understand popular hip-hop. How is this not one of the biggest songs of the year? Seriously, I imagine “the clubs” would love this.

From Definitive Jux Presents 4If you buy the download, they send you stickers and shirts and stuff.

Upcycle wifebeater attempt two.

Softer tank top=softer yarn and hat? We’ll see.

The wife has started making “yarn” out of shirts. Will one of you tell her she’d probably get more of it if she used long sleeve shirts?

I just sat down at my computer with no deadline and no real agenda. I think it feels good. Time to make something fun.

First draft? Check. bit.ly/dk1sXC

At some point last night I finished the first draft of Building the Realtime User Experience. I sent it to my editor this morning. Now, assuming he doesn’t just point and laugh and send it to the special filing bin, it goes to technical reviewers who can point and laugh.

I’m glad to have made it to this milestone, excited about the impending release and totally nervous about the process of getting from here to the bookshelves.

So for the first time in a long time, I won’t be spending tonight writing or even working on code for the book. I don’t know what I’m going to be doing, but it won’t be in a coffee shop with headphones on.

since when are they allowed to say “men’s half pipe” and “double corkscrew” on network tv?

Do the privacy wonks who worry about @foursquare know about the phone book?

With all of this Flash/HTML5 talk, do you think that the silverlight people at MS are thinking? "Hey! We're trying to thwart standards too!"

Nerd alert!

Has anyone gotten the dashboard API to work at all?

This works:

curl   -u “user:password” http://tedroden.tumblr.com/api/read/

This doesn’t:

curl   -u “user:password” http://tedroden.tumblr.com/api/dashboard

I’m pretty sure that I’m doing it right, but it’s not returning anything. What gives?

Love this guy. Proprietor of Rosario’s pizza… we used to live about 2 buildings away from it. Now we live about 10 blocks away and can’t be bothered to make it back.

Perhaps we should go back this weekend…

Tumblr Staff: Dashboard API: Part 1

Tumblr API dashboard call?

When did this appear?

I can’t actually get it to return any data, but it seems to exist in some form. Anyone have any info on this?

Seriously, if you're not using Dropbox for free file sync/backup/sharing, you should be. I can't say enough about them: bit.ly/9YSWQ6

I totally participate in Ash Wednesday except instead of ash on the forehead it's soup in the mustache.

Tumblr to Google Reader

Have you ever wanted to take all of the feeds that you follow on tumblr and import them into google reader? No? OK. Nevermind then.

In the future, if you ever reconsider and want to do that, feel free to use a script that I wrote to do just that very thing. It’s available on github as a python script. I’m still not comfortable accepting your passwords on a web service, so you’ll have to run it yourself. Perhaps someone else will set it up as a webservice for all to use (hint hint).

Head over and download “tumblr-tools” from github.

I want to do a quick survey. I have a lot of twitter followers and I want to know if anyone uses buzz or wave? If you do, contact me there.


I’ve got to get back to work, but one more thing: aside from traffic from Stumbleupon, enjoysthin.gs traffic is about 50% Spanish speaking.

I heart Colombia.

And I love that I built a site that people know how to use better than I designed it.

Wife planned, hosted and cooked for a fat tuesday party tonight. I just realized the music was supplied by a NOLA station. Nice touch baby.
