Red Sweater Grants Wishes
Monday, December 21st, 2009Daniel Jalkut fancies himself a genie. Mention Red Sweater products on Twitter for a chance at free stuff. My favorite part is at the bottom. I REALLY HOPE THERE ISN’T ANY NEED FOR FINE PRINT BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO GIVE SOME STUFF AWAY AND HAVE NOBODY RAISE A BIG LEGAL ...
Weekend Mode and Pseudo-Follow
Sunday, December 13th, 2009Brent Simmons throws his Twitter client feature request out into the ether for some enterprising developer to grab onto. My personal dream feature is something like fake follow — where the other person sees you as a follower but you don't actually see their posts in your timeline — but with ...
Five Least Legitimate Uses of Social Media
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Corey Casciato kick's off the list season in style. When I say oversharing, I don't mean accidentally telling the world about the salacious details of your skeezy one-night stand. That's actually kind of amusing.
Coathangr Redesign
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Massively Overrated has just launched the first phase of the coathangr.com redesign. The feedback we get most often is that our iPhone app is beautiful, but the site looks like crap. Today is the first step in changing that. Update: I must be tired from all of that CSS. The link ...
A Reason to Blog
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Daniel Jalkut makes the case that, for developers, blogging can be a connection to customers and community alike. Now I just need to start charging for software.
How to Be Awesome
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009This article has money quotes all over it. Never make excuses about being too busy, not having enough time, etc. People who are awesome make time for what’s important to them. And If the people you hang out with are always complaining about other people, chances are they probably complain about you too.

• Coathangr 1.5
Monday, November 30th, 2009After several weeks and one rejection letter, I'm happy to report that Coathangr 1.5 is available on the App Store. We made a number of significant improvements in this release, not the least of which is support for the Love system. For those who don't know, Coathangr is a social network ...
Stop Tweeting About It
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I only have one thing to add to this list, and it's for the ladies: Don't tweet about your body. Things like "Man, my bra is so tight today" or "I can't believe I forgot to wear underwear" make you seem desperate and needy.
How to Plan an Ignite
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Ignite Boulder's Andrew Hyde offers up some good advice for anyone looking to plan a similar local gathering.
• Three20
Monday, November 16th, 2009The Coathangr iPhone app was rejected today for using private APIs. The following non-public APIs are included in your application: firstResponder UITouch._previousLocationInWindow, UITouch._tapCount, UITouch._timestamp, UITouch._touchFlags, UITouch._view UITouch._window A quick Google search confirmed my suspicions: the Three20 library is to blame. Three20, if you're unaware, is the library that the Facebook iPhone app is built on. Joe Hewitt, the man responsible ...

Monday, November 2nd, 2009A very thoughtful reply to cleversimon from Neven Mrgan. The last sentence in particular is a joy to read.
Zombies Need Your Help
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Danny Newman's annual Zombie Crawl here in Denver was a huge success this year. Over 4,000 zombies. That's a lot of fucking zombies. But it came at a price: the city is fining Danny over $1,000 for "graffiti" due to the (fake) blood left on the 16th Street Mall. A call ...
