30 Boxes + AcidSearch = awesome
February 7, 2006 – 2:21 pm
Social calendar web app 30 Boxes launched yesterday and has been getting quite a bit of attention.

Pondering Redesign
February 5, 2006 – 3:53 am
While I had a vague idea of features that I'd wanted to include when working on my current site design, I hadn't thoguht them through enough when I started.
