Speakin’ Geek: Why No “Google Happenings”?

Seems like I have a lot on my mind while driving… I need more co-stars to make this stuff interesting…
Been thinking a lot recently about how there seems to be no “events” search — no “Google Happenings.” Many of the major search engines now have local search, but that isn’t […]

Now I’m just guessing here - but if CivicSpaces Event APIs are available to the Drupal community, then we’ve got ourselves a ballgame ladies and gentlemen.
Just as I was talking about how the events space is heating up - then MeetUp goes and decides to charge and CivicSpace comes out swinging like champs (without the […]

OK - so while everyone is sipping French wine and getting ready to go to Loic’s party - I’d like to ask a question.
Who coined the term ‘Tagerator?’
I know who I heard it from first - but I’d like to ask Mr. Clavier who HE heard it from. And by Tuesday night we’ll know […]

Jon Udell writes: “I want to blog an event; when published, my event should have a certain look; my writing software knows how to produce that look; I’ll use it to achieve that look. I don’t know, or particularly care, that machine-readable content comes for free. I will, however, be pleasantly surprised when I find […]

I’ve been waiting for the usability wonks to get a hold of Drupal and slap it around a bit.
It really needs help - and apparently the Civcspace people were willing to accept that help.
We’re also “stripping Drupal down” - getting rid of many of the “geek erector set” nuances (or shall I say […]

I gotta clarify something Photo Matt said about the Bla-Bla list. Yes - it’s built using an open source Java framework (named Rife) - but it’s not just built “in Flash”.
It used Laszlo to do it’s thang.
Laszlo is also open source - Flex it’s MacroAdobe clone rip-off - costs $12k - no wait the price […]

With the fundng of EVDB and the continued success of Whizpark and UpComing.org’s new features - the events world is moving forward.
Yet another angle on all this - is coming from Trumba - the VC funded calendaring play which has the motto “Bring it all together”. Gotta love it.
Man oh Man. I believe this marks […]

Russell Beattie is continuing his enlightenment and learning curve - coming to grip with just how dam coolio Orb is.
It’s great to see Russ connect the dots between the mobile world and the Home LAN world - which I kind of see as “my world”.
Russ had Ted Shelton speak at one of the Mobile Monday […]

The greetings and salutations have been pouring in this morning.
DING DONG - the WITCH IS DEAD!
The 17 year nightmare is over.
The rape and pillage is finally complete.
Now what?
Will the new Adobe grok the new paradigm of tools?
Will Rob Burgess ever be able to set foot in Silicon Valley again? Isn’t his reign ending on […]

OK - I’m breaking down and whining now.
We’re getting too dam successful - and though we’re ramping up nicely on all fronts - one thing has been plauging me. I need a spec writer - someone who can grok what it is I’m talking about - and break it down into writing.
We have four […]
