I totally baited you into my blog. Were you searching for where you could download it? Yeah, sorry, not here.

If it comes out and I’m not paying attention, do let me know if you see it. Thanks.

There will be no other SAT references made in this post but I had the fortune of taking an ActionScript 3 class yesterday and was struck by the similarity of the languages. So much to learn still.

So curious

I wondered why I got so many calls last week from random recruiters recruiting for companies I’ve never heard of.

Now I know.

Socializing your website for mobile devices

There’s a great movie coming to town as part of a film festival. I’ve been telling some cousins that they have to see this film; I was going to even buy the DVD for them but it’s not available. I went to the film festival’s website and found the film. Great! Alright, now how do I send a link to this page (am on an iPhone.) Let’s see… “Email this to a friend”? Nope. Copy and paste the URL? No, I’m on an iPhone, can’t. Reddit? Delicious? StumbleUpon? Anything? No. No. No. And no.

Something to keep in mind when designing for today.

By the way, the movie is “Exile Family Movie” and it’s coming to the Tiburon International Film Festival. Why don’t I include a link? Because I’m moblogging.

UPDATE: Here’s the link for the movie (updated via a normal browser.)

UPDATE #2: I just figured out how to send a link to a friend using Safari.

Ehhhh… CTRL-F it!

Using my iPhone, I just realized the utility of a search box or sitemaps for a site when viewed with a mobile device. Usually, if I’m looking for a keyword on a page, I’ll just CTRL-F it to find it quickly. In the abscence of such functionality on the Safari browser, search and/or sitemaps become necessary.
