Tonight I figured I'd give a brief walkthru of how to use both the Graffiti Marketplace website and the integration of the marketplace into the Graffiti Control Panel. In order to see the details, I chose not to shrink the 1024x768 video within the post....

In case you've missed the announcement , today we are happy to announce the immediate availability of Graffiti 1.0. Available under a couple different licensing options (including a free edition), you can now purchase and/or download a copy of the latest...

While I have been looking forward to the latest upgrade to the Zune 2.0 software, I didn't get a chance to download it until today. After reading Joe's review (and Jim's rebuttal, see the comments) I figured I'd make my own conclusions. Part of the update...

This past week, I took a couple days off (plus the weekend) to attend the Fall Men's Conference with some guys from my church up at Hume Lake . I took quite a few pictures and had a great time and will blog about that soon. But if you follow me on Twitter...

Another season of soccer has ended, and Noah and I are already missing Monday/Wednesday night practices. Since I wasn't going to be able to attend the final game (I was presenting at the Community Server Developer's Conference ), we managed to have our...

Of course I may be biased, but our first Community Server Developer's Conference was a huge success! Folks from around the world (at *least* four continents) came out to Texas (on a weekend) to hear more about where we are at and where we are headed....

So today was my lucky turn to go into the "puffer" at the security checkpoint at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. For whatever reason...I was selected and got to stand in a phone booth sized enclosure while pounded by six puffs of air. When I asked what is...

So Jason tagged Scott and suddenly I need to spill my guts...is that it? Since I'm the proud owner of an iPhone, I was going to answer that I've got The Princess Bride, a couple episodes of Seinfeld, some audiobooks, some music, pictures of the family,...

Recently, someone pointed me to this video on YouTube and it got me thinking about my gaming history... In my early years, I was never a big arcade game player. My parents just didn't believe it was a worthwhile way to spend my time. (Sadly, we had neither...

A couple months ago, I "bumped into" an old friend on Facebook . After chatting about our families, where we're at, and what we do, he said something like, "As a designer for Fox Sports, I share the building with another group here that does something...

While on the topic of Apple gadgets, I had a pretty big scare just last night. Just before dinner I was watching a Seinfeld episode on my iPhone. And so when Linda called, I set it down, assuming all would be well. But after dinner, when we I went back...

Last Friday was my son Noah's 8th birthday. Since his uncle is a generous gadget freak, he asked me if any of the boys had iPods, but particularly Noah. It didn't take a genius to see where this was headed... So, now Noah is the proud owner of an iPod...

While this is not an "official announcement", I'm not sure that folks had noticed our newly revised offering for Hosted Community Server (HCS) at the Community Server Store ...so I figured I'd mention it. Over the past year, while in Beta, we had a couple...

If you thought yesterday's Zune announcement from Microsoft was big news, today's announcement about releasing the source code for .NET is even bigger for people like me...and probably you. You'll be able to download the .NET Framework source libraries...

Earlier this week, DanH pinged me with a new Twitter idea. It sounded like fun, so I listened and offerred a bit of feedback. Just about an hour or two ago, he had the site up, along with a blog post . One of my recommendations was to have a "Guest Judge"...

Today was the day for Zune announcements, and while I'm a huge fan of my iPod, it appears that the Zune (and Microsoft) isn't going down without a fight. While there's a full list of information here and here , the biggest deal for me was this item: All...

A couple weeks ago, while reading Engadget , I ran across a post about a new set of tablets by Wacom , called Bamboo and Bamboo Fun . Being a fun guy, I decided to purchase the latter. Actually, the Fun version comes with a mouse, software, a pressure...

So, I know I've mentioned the iPhone a couple of times :), but I haven't talked about the drama surrounding how I finally got my hands on it. After winning the hackathon , Delia shot me a note that it had shipped from Apple. All excited, I started tracking...

Well, it happened again. But unlike last time , this time the power was out for only about four hours and the temperature outside was in the high 60s, not 110+. I had just started to replay the Halo 3 single player campaign on Legendary. I guess I'll...

Earlier this month, my brother and his wife had their second child. This time around, they had a son and named him Christian Alexander. It's funny that both our second children are named after their father with Alexander in the middle. (My second is actually...

What's wrong with this picture? And before you make any disparaging comments about the Raiders, or this particular fan, it has nothing to do with either. Any ideas? Well, without the proper back story it's probably too subtle. Let me explain. The problem...

While I'd like to take full credit for my recent blogging run, the credit really belongs to my iPhone. Since it's got a decent built-in camera, I've had the opportunity to take quite a few pictures during recent activities. So, when I got bit by the blogging...

As I mentioned earlier , I recently checked in some changes into the Graffiti core to support what I'm calling the "marketplace" feature. Since Graffiti is a new, and therefore smaller product than Community Server , it's a bit easier to try out new ideas....

As I recently mentioned , my XBOX 360 died almost immediately after finishing the single player campaign of Halo 3. I think it was mainly the DVD drive, but either way, nothing I did worked. I tried multiple game discs, movies, unplugged it completely,...

It's been a long time coming, but in a league that doesn't officially keep score (while all the boys/parents do), the Blue Thunder got it's first victory today! The boys played great, passed the ball more than ever, and finally took some shots. I've told...
