Macgyver your way out of darkness
16 Oct
I totally need to break down at night and try this. Not that I ever carry a pencil. Or would want to rip out the speaker wire from my car. Maybe I’ll just make sure to carry a flashlight with me instead.

Managed EC2
22 Aug
I’m fairly obsessed with Amazon EC2. Some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen people doing:
- Elastic Rails – Ruby, Capistrano, EC2. Cool, cool, cool.
- Rightscale. Make sure to check out the features page. MySQL manager and Website manager are both smart.
- Cloudscale. Nothing on the website to mention, but they hint good stuff on their blog
Manage those contacts
18 Apr
It turns out there are a lot of people in the world.
Duh. Anyway, it also turns out that info about those people is important, and being able to share it with coworkers even more so. Web 2.0 gods 37signals put out an amazing contact manager a month ago. Highrise is really the perfect solution for some of the things one of the small teams I’m working in tries to do – share some contacts, info on who they are, where we met them, and how we might engage in the future.
I love the fact that it isn’t the ultimate solution – no outlook plugins, no “live in your contact manager” philosophy like ACT, just a nice and focused approach to contacts.
Happy now Ken?
