Square: God I love it

Square has been on my radar for a few months – mostly for tinkering project ideas. Here’s some things I’ve been thinking:

  1. Human ATM (swipe card, give cash) for places like Dick’s in Seattle
  2. Buy tickets even easier from scalpers (ha!)
  3. Sell your merchandise easier at live events (hello, OSNAP.net!)
  4. Be the coolest lemonade stand on the block

Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster

Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster

I need assistance with my life. Obviously the choices I’ve made over the years have not had positive results.

Yes, I’m married, but things could be better. Yes I have a fantastic job, but my work/life balance is non-existent.

Are you in your mid-thirties? Have you had success with you romance, employment, finances – enough so that you feel comfortable guiding me through my headaches?

Come join me as a personal puppetmaster; make my decisions for me, in love, finances, employment, time, hobbies.

Coordinate with my darling wife as to what’s best for me, using your experience as a base.

Salary to be discussed based on my ability to put my life in your hands, and how responsible you perform.

This is an ongoing project, hopefully self-terminating (meaning: I’d love to get to a point where I can manage my life on my own, without your help).

Going broke with books

I’ve been working on some iPhone applications as a licensed iPhone developer.

Doing so has really made my brain hurt as I’m not too familiar with Obj-C or CocoaTouch.

It’s been a fun ride, and learning in the method I usually do I’ve purchased books to help me along.

Thankfully I’m a member of both Barnes and Noble and Borders, so the discounts on these books was substantial. That and I bought a couple over the holidays at a really steep discount from Amazon and SitePoint.

searchy: update

Just a quick update: searchy: is 90% done!
I just need to add the delete and detail actions for the history, and then (possibly) add searching across multiple websites at the same time.

Game on!
