  • What I Learned at Flickr

    A quick recap of my visit to see the lovely people at Flickr in March of this year. This continues the theme of articles I should have written months ago, but didn't. Short version: Flickr loves you and your photos - for keeps.
  • Superhero

  • Alchemy is a Risky Strategy

    This is a brief prelude to a series of articles I'm writing on the ongoing management of web sites and services; some friendly advice on being very honest with yourself or your client when an idea is just, well, bad.
  • Winning Bigger Web Projects

    Barcamp Belfast was a lot of fun. I gave a talk on winning larger web projects to a really engaged, interested audience. It was fantastic.
  • A Work in Progress

    I have been hacking away at a new website for myself for the last 2 months, and like the builder's house; I'm still not nearly ready to show it off to the outside world.
  • Ruby on Rails

    On the recommendation of those in the know, i'm learning Ruby, Rails, and some new(ish) web development technologies to keep my mind from stagnating. Learning is fun!
