Just a quick post to announce - with great fanfare and glorious excitment - that I’m joining the good people at Automattic full time.
Automattic are the folks that make WordPress, (the blogging software that powers these very words), BBPress and Gravatar, among other goodies. I’ve been working closely with them recently on a series of [...]
I’ve just finished and shared my video for the awesome dataportability workgroup:
DataPortability - Connect, Control, Share, Remix from Smashcut Media on Vimeo.

The Jing Project, TechSmith’s free-to-download, cross platform screen capture and screencasting tool, has just received some welcome upgrades that make it even easier for anyone to get started in the world of screen recording. I reviewed Jing when it first reared its head, over at Master New Media back in July, and since then the [...]
I was probably as excited as anybody at the thought of Boing Boing TV launching, as a huge fan of the blog. But in spite of the mild and in some places sycophantic praise being bandied around, I have to say that the first episode royally sucked.
