So to avoid a goose egg in the archives for August ’11, I rescued some photos from my phone. Here’s a shot from the making of the birthday week spinner I created for Molly: Max annoying my dad, who is trying to get down to some serious solitaire on the iPhone: This one feels like [...]
This has been a tough year for Max. Throughout the winter and spring we were racing to identify some kind of autoimmune disease that put his health at great risk. After numerous tests and an exploratory surgery, we’re resigned to the fact that he’s going to be on steroids for the rest of his life [...]
(Update: I think they need to put that /down screen back up. It’s still super buggy. *Seems* to be working again.) There’s been a lot fun and human about Turntable.fm, right down to the lovable, JIT, slapdash maintenance screen they just flipped on. It makes a big difference in terms of how I bond to [...]

We’re pretty proud to have shipped this new Trained Tough? app for New Balance this week, just in advance of the running of the 2011 Boston Marathon a week from today.

I asked this question on Tumblr and got just one sincere (thanks jspepper) and one jokey (thanks craxy) response, so I’m doubling up and seeing if those of your who read Extraface (or stuff in my Facebook profile) are willing to take this question on. I think it came to me while taking in episodes [...]
Hey people who are trying to generate interest in an app or program that hasn’t been released yet, I might be excited to join your announcement and invite list, or I might not be, but I’m really un-excited about your using the Launchrock “viral” invitation request thingy that asks me to promote your as-yet-unexperienced app [...]
A few weeks ago a Flickr user dropped me a piece of Flickr mail asking if she could use one of my photos. Hi there, I’m helping with a fund raising bake sale for victims of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. I was looking for a daruma image to use for the packaging [...]

Add this blog entry to those I’m reading from people I know and respect (Marshall, Alex, to name a couple) that are publicly thanking Ev Williams tonight for his inspiring them on their career paths and in their respective roles in shaping web culture. Thank you, Ev. Looking forward to seeing and using what’s next.
Me: “Get off my lawn!” (w/apologies to Grayson D.) I’m thinking about finally closing comments on my lengthy anti-hashtag screed from February of 2008. My opinion of them hasn’t changed much. But they have taken on more frequent use within Twitter, and in the meantime Twitter usage has grown, spread out, taken on more users [...]
