Back to your regular programming.
It’s been a weird two weeks here. I left town and the country twice and came back all the while doing some soul searching. I figured somethings out but the next few months if not year is going to suck from my current viewpoint. Anyways, here are some photos of my two trips for you [...]
What I have learned after 102 blog posts.
Image by Somewhat Frank via Flickr I started blogging back in February for the first time. It was rocky at first because I had no idea what the hell I was doing. You could very easily say I still don’t know what the hell I am doing and I would not argue with you. So [...]
Using the Miami Herald archive for free.
We all know the newspaper industry is undergoing change, and that’s the nice way to describe it. So it was a surprise today, that while writing a blog post for tomorrow, I was asked to pay for old articles from the Miami Herald website. I know it costs money to do anything, but that’s the [...]
Hello SFDB readers!
Much to my surprise this morning while reading my RSS feeds, I found that Rick of South Florida Daily Blog added me to his blog roll. In the words of the great Bill and Ted, excellent! So let us use this opportunity to introduce myself, this blog, and other ventures I have going on. Firstly [...]
A quick note about RSS

BarCamp Miami 2009 Write-Up
BarCamp Miami was held this past weekend at Anokha in the Grove and what a crowd! 700 people registered for this free event, and while I don’t think quite that many showed up there was still a very sizeable crowd. I wasn’t sure what to expect at an event such as this. I’ve never been to one of these and I seriously doubt that a LAN party could compare. For one thing there wasn’t any name calling going on here. So what happened this past weekend, and why am I going back next year?

Know your rights as a blogger
It has been almost four years since EFF first published our Legal Guide for Bloggers to help bloggers understand their rights and, when necessary, defend their freedom of expression. In that time, blogging has become more widespread, and more and more people need a better understanding of the laws surrounding blogging. Not a day goes by in which we do not help someone with a reference to the Legal Guide.
Newspapers discovers microtransactions. Joins gamers in 2005.
Alesh over at the Buildings and Food blog wrote a post about micro payments in response to this weeks’ Time cover story advocating micropayments for online content, a topic covered pretty extensively in the gaming world over the past three years. While microtransactions happened earlier than 2005 on the original Xbox (see Crimson Skies, and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow) and even before then, it wasn’t till the launch of the Xbox 360 that we saw microtransactions take off in volume of availability and usage.
