I don’t go to many conferences. In fact, the only one I’ve been to (since at least the Dallas Fantasy Fest back in the early ‘90s) was SXSW Interactive early this year. However, I’ve been looking forward to PAX (or Penny Arcade Expo) for months now. I bought my ...

I need to take a week to disconnect. I’m going to be pretty quiet here and in my social media channels such as FriendFeed. However, I did accept the offer to be on ReadBurner Weekly Live! this Wednesday so I am definitely going to be there for that! Hope ...
In Latin, mea culpa means, “my fault.” Mea – me, and culpa – culpable. In this case, I have to apologize for not updating in a few days. You can probably guess the reason why. Yes, I got an iPhone. A white 16GB model to ...
Last week, while I was doing some research for a personal project that took advantage of Wordle, I found a great little service called Feedbooks. I’ll go into more of the Feedbooks features below, but the upshot for me and scribkin is that I could have them convert my ...
I try not to bore you guys with every little thing that I do to and on this site, but if you visit regularly you are sure to see sidebar widgets come and go, font changes, page lineup changes, ad nauseum. But the changes I am thinking about today ...
Don’t get me wrong, I love last.fm. It’s a great service. I don’t think any other product comes close to providing the same functionality of building a music profile and then matching it against other users. No, that part I have absolutely no problem with.
Good Morning scribkin readership! If you operate a blog, and that blog supports sending a trackback, I have a simple request for you. I have adjusted the trackback URL on this article to point to (what I think) the Disqus service will use. Next time you post, please ...
Yesterday afternoon, I sat down with the goal of creating my first FeedBurner FeedFlare. I wasn’t sure just how hard it would be, so I was ready for a grind. As it turns out, creating a working FeedFlare was not that difficult.
Tonight, I was chatting with Corvida, and the topic of RSS feed overflow came up. We were both frustrated because there was so much new (potentially great) content being produced every day, that we couldn't keep up! A radical new plan was hatched that we both agreed ...
I've never done a stats update, and I haven't refined my tools at all, so this post will be a little rough. First, let's start with the good news: For the first time, scribkin has over 100 feed readers!
I was just reading an article from Louis Gray about how to use the very cool and capable FriendFeed bookmarklet. That got me thinking about just how many [[bookmarklets]] I have gathered in the past couple of months, and what they all do. You can see them ...
A rare weekend post today, on a topic that most people probably will not find interesting and some people will find extremely awesome. I am speaking, of course, of the dozens of plugins, mods, and other bells & whistles that I have added to this blog over time.
Feel free ...
Recently, I received an email from Pat (also known as MicroPat on Twitter), the creator of Add to Any. He wrote my webmaster account to let me know that he had found my article on ShareThis and Add to Any's interaction with the Snap! service, and was looking ...
I just added a poll feature to the sidebar of my site. My first poll asks the question, do you prefer the default action of a link to open in the same window/tab, or in a new window/tab? I'm interested because up to this point, I've defaulted to a new ...
