Some changes

By jonezy | Published: October 15, 2009
I think i’m going to take down all the personal posts from my blog here and move them over to posterous. Posterous seems to fit the life blogging model much better than wordpress.  You can send in posts via email and get stuff up quickly with little friction. I’m going to keep all my work [...]

If you are going to spend time working on new features, don’t spend time on planning what you think might work. Build something quickly and let your users decide on how it should work. You [...]

Cool user experience

By jonezy | Published: September 22, 2009
I use remember the milk for managing my day to day tasks, it’s a great service and I’ve gone through just about every to-do list app on the web. One of the really cool things about the service is that you can sign up to test features before they are released to the entire user base. [...]

I’m a weekend father, and it sucks.

By jonezy | Published: July 24, 2009
Not that many people would have noticed, but I haven’t posted here in a really long time.  Not seriously anyways. Over the last year or so my entire life has been turned upside down, right side up and every other way imaginable. I’m finally coming out of it and I feel the need to write about it. [...]

Start small and get something, anything done today

By jonezy | Published: May 26, 2009
One of the greatest feelings in the world is finishing up a project, getting that laundry all done and put away, finally fixing that leaky faucet or you know launching that side project that you’ve been working on for the last 6 months.  Conversely, one of the worst feelings in the world is looking at [...]
