Square: God I love it
Jan 28th
Square has been on my radar for a few months – mostly for tinkering project ideas. Here’s some things I’ve been thinking:
- Human ATM (swipe card, give cash) for places like Dick’s in Seattle
- Buy tickets even easier from scalpers (ha!)
- Sell your merchandise easier at live events (hello, OSNAP.net!)
- 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
Jan 17th
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
Jan 7th
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!
