Safari Search Field Widget for WordPress
As part of the redesign of this site I decided to implement my site search to support the 'search' input type supported by Safari. It renders as the native OS X search field and can keep track of a user's search history. This widget is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the default WordPress [...]
30 Boxes + AcidSearch = awesome
Social calendar web app 30 Boxes launched yesterday and has been getting quite a bit of attention. The clean interface, tagging features, and sharing interface make it a joy to use but I have to say that its 'killer feature' is definately the ability to add events using a natural language interface ('fly to philly [...]

Farewell jayanta, we barely knew you.
I just talked to the guys who are doing the wireless install for my building and they've just finished working the bugs out and making the system production-ready. I'd talked to them earlier in the install and gotten the WEP key, but the network stopped giving out DHCP leases about halfway through the week. Here's [...]
