    I made the WhyGoSolo Facebook Application, which just launched. If you join WhyGoSolo, you can have any events you create or sign up for show up on Facebook automatically, so you and your Facebook friends can know what you are up to. We’re planning on adding a lot more functionality to it in the future.…

    I’m thinking about starting an open source project, based on a need I see. I’m working on fleshing out the idea a little bit more, and recruiting some local PHP developers I know to help me. I don’t have time for this, but who does? One of the great things about developing third-party applications on…

    I found this breathtaking – not just that they endorsed someone else, but that Giuliani gets completely torn apart. These three paragraphs disassemble the image of Rudy as “America’s Mayor.” Primary Choices: John McCain – New York Times The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively…

    Let’s pretend for a second that the writers weren’t on strike, and we had decent TV on. Watching TV is enjoyable, right? It’s also fun to watch it with others. In college, we’d always get together to watch the latest episode, talk about it, etc. A shared experience is always better than sitting alone on…

    I’ll be at WidgetDevCamp this weekend. I’ve planned to talk about developing Facebook applications and how they “work”, with a particular spin on developing widgets.

    362 days, 6 hours, 41 minutes. In 362 days, we’re going to have a new president. We’re mired right now with candidates of both parties yammering about their platforms, attacking each other (since when did being called a Muslim get considered an insult?), and telling us what we think is important. But what do you…

    Many believe that Israel is a perfect country for testing electric cars, due to the short distances between major cities, its entrepreneurial prowess, and its unique geopolitical needs. Will Israel be the first country to be fully electric? Israel is already leading the way in solar technology. Story here and here. See more about Project…

    In Israel, I often get around by taxi, if a bus isn’t convenient. Many fear the public transportation system, because of past history of bus bombings, and avoid it altogether. You have two choices when you climb in an Israeli taxi. You can have them use the meter, or you can negotiate a price. Negotiate…
