		<title>Learning from disparity, aka &#8220;failure&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve long argued that failure is the only way a person can learn. This has been a very reasonating bit of wisdom for me, despite the fact people have often argued against it with rather sound logic. &#8220;Yes, you can learn from failure, but you can also learn from success!&#8221; Only after reading Jason Fried&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=169&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Notify.io brings notifications to the web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In October 2009 I started a project called Notify.io and a month later announced it. I talked about how it will bring notifications to the web. Now that it&#8217;s basically alpha complete, I&#8217;ll give you a quick walkthrough of what makes it so great.
Overview
At a really high level, you can think of Notify.io as a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=160&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Twitter as a Stockbroker. With Webhooks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Webhooks. User-defined callbacks on the web. Yes. YES! Wait, what does that even mean? That stupid website doesn&#8217;t seem to explain them at all!
Let&#8217;s explore this through an analogy. This analogy uses stockbrokers! Yay! (?)
Consider, before the web, before email, how people would interact with their stockbroker: the telephone. Whenever you wanted to manage your [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=145&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Natural language time parsing and more with TimeAPI.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my post about stdicon.com, I hinted at something else I built in collaboration with a few people that started from a Twitter update. I&#8217;m just now writing about it, but I&#8217;ve actually built a lot of things I haven&#8217;t blogged about yet. Granted, they&#8217;re all an artifact of my strange world, but I figure [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=137&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hacker Dojo: place of the way of the hacker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago it was being taped for a story on Fox News. One month ago it received a congratulatory visit from the mayor of Mountain View. Two months ago it was featured on the front page of the Mercury News. And four months ago was when we signed the lease for it. Hacker Dojo [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=127&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Solving Comet to the browser with CometCatchr</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing a lot with Comet lately. It started with Notify.io, in which I decided to prove that HTTP streaming was a simpler alternative to XMPP in getting messages to the desktop. That went quite well, but it was easy because it wasn&#8217;t all that different from a socket connection. Then I built a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=108&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Web notifications just got real with Notify.io</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;real-time web&#8221; is a popular topic right now. My WebHooks initiative is both riding on this success and helping make it a reality. One sector of this trend is about notifications. Real-time notifications to you about events you care about. 
For a long time we&#8217;ve had helper apps like the Google Notifier and more [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=105&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why efficiency is not as important as you think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.&#8221;  &#8211;Peter Drucker
When people, usually analytical people, want to improve a situation, they tend to optimize efficiency: achieve maximum output for input. &#8220;Let&#8217;s reduce waste! Let&#8217;s simplify! Let&#8217;s make things smoother! Let&#8217;s try and get more out of the system!&#8221; I suppose the obsession [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=99&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Public Open Source Services</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I went off and put up a wiki about an idea I&#8217;ve been thinking about for a while: public open source services or POSS. Think: public services or utilities on the web run as open source. 
Unlike open source software, web services aren&#8217;t just source code. They&#8217;re source code that runs. They have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=88&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Prepare for posts; I&#8217;m speaking at SXSW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Last week I got an email that said my SXSW speaking proposal was accepted. Strangely, my joy was coupled with a bit of disappointed. After the PanelPicker closed, I felt like I didn&#8217;t market my talk well enough. That combined with my OSCON proposal being denied, I felt there was no chance I was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blogrium.wordpress.com&blog=447831&post=80&subd=blogrium&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
