  • I Made a Fire Eagle Application

    Late last year I mentioned that Yahoo was coming out with it’s own location management platform. They launched it last week in private beta. At this point – it really is just that, a platform. Very few applications exist. Seth Levine was kind enough to send me an invite. I wrote a quick application using…

  • Craigslist Fun

    by

    in

    I love Craigslist. You see a lot of decent gigs, but there’s also a ton of crap. And every once in a while, someone lashes out. Reply to: gigs-585642542@craigslist.org Date: 2008-02-24, 9:19PM EST Looking for someone to design a new company logo – the logo will be light-infused, modern, edgy, clean, and professional.

  • WhyGoSolo Facebook Application

    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.…

  • Idea: Picket Fence Project

    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.

  • WidgetDevCamp Presentation

    Sorry for the week delay… hard to post when you’re in the middle of a mountain (literally). WidgetDevCamp was awesome, thanks to everyone, especially Peter Corbett and Justin Thorp. Here are my slides: | View | Upload your own I gave a presentation about Facebook development, and afterwards they asked to actually see an application…

  • Idea: WatchWithMe

    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…

  • Speaking at WidgetDevCamp

    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. I may also be collaborating with one or two other people on some other topics – we’ll see how that plays out. I’ll post slides after. If you are there,…

  • What The Next President Should Do

    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…

  • Reaching My Google Goal

    I’m now #2 on Google for “zvi”. I can make it.

  • Israel Says Shalom to Electric Cars

    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…
