When Is Your Audience Listening? Does It Even Matter?

July 18, 2010

Are you a door to door salesman or do people come to you for your message? There are two options to consider when you’re building your audience: Chase your audience (door to door salesman) Have your audience come to you (events) I’ve spent the last nine months growing and cultivating an online audience for a [...]

Today marked the first complete month of my weight loss goal. I’m still mostly on track even though I am about 4 pounds above my goal weight tracking. I’ll attribute this to being extremely busy, having a lot of social gatherings to go to, and not working out as much as I should be. However, [...]

Locale ($9.99 | website | android market) lets you setup “Situations” based on battery level, contact, location, orientation, and time. Surprisingly the location option isn’t based on GPS but rather cell towers. Once you have a situation setup you can attach settings for your phone. Besides specific situations, there is also a default area that you can set [...]

The company I work for recently switched to the Agile SCRUM method of development. Not only that but the method for scheduling new work went into a process that supports Agile as well. I’ve always tried to be a tester who makes sure I get full coverage on anything I’m testing but the question came [...]

Verizon Droid X: Review

Initial Thoughts My first thoughts when receiving the Droid X was that the screen was HUGE. Not quite as big as the HTC Evo, but still a big screen. The body is relatively thin for it’s size but the side with the camera is a bit awkward due to it adding another 25% of thickness [...]

Confessions of a Fat Guy: On Clothing

I had a conversation on Twitter today with David Siegfried about clothes becoming bagging because of weight loss. He said that he had to semi-retire his favorite pair of jeans because they have become too baggy. He’s been working on losing weight for the last seven months on losing weight. Bill Roehl also piped in [...]

4th of July Weekend: Busy start, lazy end

I had a four day weekend starting last Friday for the Independence Day weekend. I, by chance, took Friday off instead of Tuesday so that I wouldn’t miss a few meetings at work. My decision was well timed since Leland was born on Friday, July 2nd, 2010 at 5:20pm. Megan and I went up to [...]

During an interview with the Mirror Prince said: “The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.” “The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip [...]

CoaFG: On Food

June 30, 2010

This past weekend was a particulary bad weekend for my eating habits. I knew it was coming but didn’t prepare for it at all. Saturday was pretty hopeless for any weight loss goal since I spent the entire day at a park in Maple Grove. I suppose I could have worked out with a walk [...]

What Is A Test Case To Me?

June 30, 2010

Matt Heusser from Creative Chaos asked me via Twitter today to write a post about what a test case is to me. We each have our own style of verifying the information, functionality, navigation, and end result of the applications that we work on. However, between the styles comes some rigidity whether you’re SCRUMming or diving [...]
