If you’re not listening to You Look Nice Today yet, you should be. This latest episode is about another of the trio’s business ideas, songparts.biz (which they apparently actually have). Make sure to listen to the music at the end of the episode.

How to get a job at Fog Creek

My coworker Tyler recently started a series of posts on how to get a job with our employer, Fog Creek Software. If you’re curious why anyone would care, you can tell the level of awesomeness of where I work from a mere TWO pictures.

ps- we just shipped FogBugz 7.0 and that called for a group photo and a fancy dinner (lunch) with live jazz and champagne :)

Drinking outdoors.. you read my yelping mind

I just got an email from Yelp that reminds me I have no life. I need grad school to end! Only about a (hellish) week left of this term though, so if you want to join me in searching for beer gardens in Brooklyn/Manhattan, drop me a line.

Now that it has finally stopped raining every day, it’s time to re-emerge from hiding and enjoy the rest of summer! And what’s the best way to do that? By drinking outside, of course! So slap on a sundress or suit up in seersucker, because this week we’re hitting up the best Brooklyn spots for imbibing outdoors!

I'm flickring

After years of trying (not very hard) to figure out a photo posting/sharing/archiving strategy, I’m a little closer today. I have decided that I’m putting everything in iPhoto on my Mac, and good stuff will be posted to flickr, mostly in sets. Parties and events with friends I want to tag will go to facebook.

After years of waiting, I got an iPhone. Here are the awesome things I have discovered: The tiny remote in the headphone cord is awesome: pause, next and volume controls Syncing takes forever mobileme is worth $100/year to avoid all non-music syncing. Also, if my phone gets lost of stolen, I can FIND IT. How bad-ass is that? Everything is nearly instantaneous and the network and video performance are better than my laptop. Location-based everything ROCKS. Google Maps with GPS and compass means I never have to know where I am or where I’m going again. Push notifications for AIM and email means I don’t keep checking my phone all the time. Three things that I never would have expected loving, but WAY up on the list: $.99 app to make the iphone the Apple remote I never had for Front Row on my mac (mine’s an old pre-Intel one) Playing music through the iphone’s speakers Free white noise app Control itunes on my Mac when I’m home with basically the full interface on the iphone’s screen. The less I touch my computer the BETTER. Watch and listen to podcasts in my queue on the road AND get new/other episodes over wifi or 3G! never run out of entertainment! Shazam identifies songs I hear for free Pandora wherever I want for free Manage my Netflix queue immediately when someone recommends a movie instead of having to make a note and do it later RTM’s iphone app is as good as the web version I’ve been using to manage todos My co-workers’ great tools: iTrans NYC - subway maps with routing that don’t need a network connection (i.e. you can make/change plans when already below ground) RulerPhone - measure anything using the camera I will never use Skype but it will be useful to lots of people Oodles of free and cheap games I thought I’d have no interest in but are good for filling those 10 min periods of boredom in our lives. This one and this one are faves so far. Check movie listings, restaurant and bar reviews, find reservations while out for last-minute plan-making Voice control that I won’t use Tethering that I WILL use to get my crapbook online away from home. I have much less need for this with all the iphone does, but once in a while I need a full computer ;) View my files in DropBox And here are the sucky things: Not having flash sucks only because some places use non-youtube video such asvimeo The battery JUST lasts a day. Once my initial iphone-craziness passes, I’ll develop a usage pattern and know when I need to charge it at work during the day or whatever. Also, getting mobileme means I don’t have to sync, so I can plug in by my bed, not only where my computer is.
