A USB-C YubiKey 5C security key plugged into my ThinkPad X1 Carbon Every week I come across another headline about how someone got hacked and within moments many of their online accounts had become compromised. These aren't simple cases of bad actors using account credentials from large public data breaches and the unfortunate result of people using the same password across many websites. These ha
In early 2012 an intriguing single-board computer with a weird name hit the market. For the low price of $35, you could get a fully functioning computer that could run a real operating system. It was called the Raspberry Pi and it was the brainchild of a UK charity called the Raspberry Pi Foundation. They saw the need for an affordable computer after seeing a consistent drop in students applying t
In mid-2011, Twitter rolled out the ability to natively tweet photos. 2013 brought media-forward timelines with inline photos. 2014 ushered in multi-photo tweets and animated GIF support. We've just announced Twitter Video to help you capture the moment and tweet video from within the iOS and Android apps. I'm proud of the level of fit and finish we were able to capture in this release. It's the r
In late October 2013, I took a two week vacation in Japan. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Hakone and Kōyasan, taking over 5,500 photos along the way.
A few weeks ago my DNS provider Zerigo sent an email stating that due to recent infrastructure upgrades they would need to raise their prices. For my meager DNS needs that ended up being a huge price hike: from $39 per year to $25 per month1. Prices were set to take effect a month later. I decided to put my current dev work — designing and building new photoblog functionality to showcase my Japan
It was just meant to be a quick experiment. I started using a Nexus 4. I was going to go right back to my iPhone after a week. I was designing more and more Android interfaces at Twitter and realized I needed to more intimately grok Android UI paradigms. A week in it started feeling normal; the larger form factor was no longer a nuisance. A month in I didn't miss anything about my iPhone. Two mont
In my last post, Designing a responsive, Retina-friendly site, I covered my design process and thoughts behind redesigning this site. I did not cover any aspects of actual development or any Jekyll specifics. This post will mainly cover coding up responsive design and the third and final post will cover retina media queries, responsive images and more. Note: The final part to this series is now pu
Some of this organization was by personal preference and some was metrics-driven. Take the post date for example. I have some articles dating back 7 years and I don't want to advertise that the content may be outdated5, so I place less importance on that and display the publish date after the post. For the most part my articles are evergreen and more of my content is becoming less product reviews
It was the middle of our Y Combinator batch this summer. Akshay and I had a decently functioning version of Picplum that we were continuing to test and polish up. At the end of our office hours that day, Paul Graham said our product was good enough and that we should stop coding and start selling & marketing. I think about this quite often. tl;dr Trying to draw attention to the importance of lifec
I recently stumbled across screenshots of old websites of mine and was hurled into a state of reminiscent shock. I knew they were bad, but wow they were outstandingly horrible (redeemed only by their microformats support! I kid, I kid). Several years and a few Georgia Tech design and HCI courses have passed since those atrocities graced the web but I archived them in a sort of reverse portfolio as
How To: Apple MacBook Pro RAID 0 Array with 2 Intel X25-M SSDs In late 2008 I wrote about my experience using the first generation 80GB Intel X25-M SSD — my first SSD. I had to pay the early adopter tax for that SSD, so it cost me around 700. The speed boost alone justified the price to me. Fast-forward about a year and that SSD stopped working. I'm not quite sure what died — the controller or som
Amazon EC2 is among the more potent items in Amazon's web services arsenal. You've probably heard of many of the other services such as S3 for storage and FPS for payments. EC2 is all about the "elastic compute cloud." In layman's terms, it's a server. In slightly less layman's terms, EC2 lets you easily run and manage many instances (like servers) and given the proper software and configurations,
Looking for a small and affordable computer to add to your collection of boxen? I'm not talking about the Everex gPC, OLPC or the Asus Eee PC. I'm talking about building your own mini-ITX form factor computer. For around 200 you can have a computer with the following specs: 1.2GHz Intel Celeron 220 processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 250GB SATA hard drive and a small 90W power supply - more than enough juice
I've been a Twitter user for a few weeks now and have come across many tools to help with Twitter posting and integration. I have also seen several Twitter mashups that essentially do RSS to Twitter and have become rather popular. At first it might sound stupid to use Twitter for syndication instead of tried and true RSS, but simply put, Twitter users are always aware of Twitter happenings, creati
One of the most common things web coders run into is the need to parse some type of XML file. Many web services return API calls in XML format, so it's just handy to know how to parse these results quickly. With PHP4 you usually have to rely on some large parsing library to get the job done or deal with overly complicated PHP functions, but PHP 5 has a great extension called SimpleXML. When I say
Update: Flickr officially supports embedded slideshows. Dig those flash Flickr slideshows? All that's needed is a bit of code to embed them within your website to give your readers something dynamic. <iframe align=center src=http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=12345678@N00&tags=foo frameBorder=0 width=500 scrolling=no height=500></iframe> Alternatively, you may opt to use standards c

I've compiled a list of 10 things every first time Mac owner, particularly Mac Mini owner, should know about their new computer and operating system. This article should answer some burning questions, enlighten you about some features you did not know about OS X and just all around be helpful. Enjoy. Any questions can be directed towards me here. I wrote this for 123MacMini. 256 Won't Cut It Upgra
RSS has become a valuable technology for everything from casual web users to webmasters. According to a recent Yahoo survey only 12% of internet users are aware of RSS and a mere 4% have knowingly used RSS. RSS exists as a means to gather and display information quickly and easily. By the end of this article, you should know what RSS is and how to use it to make your life easier. What exactly is t
This one's a quick & dirty guide for the people that asked me how I created my header graphics. Header graphics mark a blog as unique and can lure a reader in from the get-go. Create several of them, make them rotate and your blog will give off a dynamic appearance. My image editor of choice is currently Photoshop CS2. I am not too sure if this tutorial can be easily followed utilizing other image
