I’m typing this entry on an iPad. My department got an ipD to test with our app and for browser testing. I got to take home for a nightb and try it out in some real-world applications, like blogging.

I rarely go back and revisit and/or rebuild anything. I usually work on web projects for the learning challenge and once that’s conquered, move on. I then take all what I learned and add it to the next project, so each new project gets better. However, Hot Wheels is clearly something that deserves love and attention.

I don’t like Facebook. I’m not a Facebook power user by any means and I’m less than a casual user. Everyone’s talking about quitting Facebook due to privacy problems and other high profile woes, but I have no plans on leaving Facebook. Regardless what “I hate Facebook because…” camp you sit in, Facebook is where people are.

Don’t let Facebook kill your blog. I know not everyone has their own web site or blog, but if you do, don’t let Facebook quietly kill your desire to write and voice your opinion. And for that matter, don’t let Twitter kill it either. Your blog is YOUR playground. You can do what you want there and your friends will come play with you.

We talked about the iPad last night on CAVEradio and while my #1 criteria for getting one is indeed still a stylus, I think something like an affordable, easy-to-use tablet PC will change how people interact with…well, just about everything.

I’ve been writing/blogging for quite a while now, upwards of 10 years or more. Writing is just something I like to do. It doesn’t matter who, if anyone, reads it…it’s just a way to empty my brain in a fun way. I never expected my blogging to result in much, and it hadn’t until just recently. I’ve officially become a guest blogger.

Yes, I finished a project, amazing as that is. After a couple months of weekend coding sessions, I have launched a new web game, a fantasy racing league…for Hot Wheels. Best part is, you don’t have to collect to play, but right now I just need your help testing it all.

As a web developer there’s a large part of me that should be ashamed to have just now jumped on the jQuery bandwagon. I’ve been developing in honest for about 10 years, so my excuse is that I (like many) was developing in Javascript way before jQuery was even a beta project. But now that I’ve seen the light, jQuery is blowing my mind…and for the better.
