A couple weeks ago, an awesome company named Twilio released an open source business phone platform called OpenVBX. Many have described it as a roll-your-own Google Voice for businesses, where you create your own auto-attendants, call forwarding, conference and voicemail systems, but I want you to think of it as much more. I don’t have […]
About a month ago I purchased one of those awesome Nexus One Google phones and started tinkering to see what cool things I could make it do. I love the phone, and as many of you know, absolutely love Google Voice too. I figure the only way Google Voice could be improved is if it magically […]
Update: I found a better browser so I am no longer supporting this add-on. I recommend the official Google Wave notifier instead. Google probably isn’t going to be happy about this, but I present to you the first ever Google Wave Notifier… for Firefox. This add-on reuses code from my other add-on, the Google Voice […]
A few projects of mine which are still in progress use TinyMCE for text editing. I can’t stand the TinyMCE configuration, so a while back I wrote a jQuery plugin to make it a little less painful. The jQuery TinyMCE plugin differs from the standard TinyMCE configuration in that any jQuery object can be used […]

Update: I found a better browser so I am no longer supporting this add-on. I recommend the official Google Voice extension instead. Google Voice is a popular telecommunications service from Google that gives you one number for all your phones. This Firefox addon makes it so you can click-to-call numbers on any website using your […]
As many of you already know, a quality domain name can go a long way in bringing relevant traffic to your website, and a good local domain name is no different when your goal is to serve the local market. Up until this point, I have shared 125 available domain names from my list of […]
Several months ago I published a series of lists containing domain names (.com’s) I felt would benefit local businesses. 100 names were shared in all from of a list I came up with late last Summer.
A while back I tossed together an image sharing service I hoped to turn around and sell for a good profit, but as it turned out, this recession thing is effecting than just banks and manufacturers. That and I discovered the market is saturated with crappy competing services that are going for pennies. Instead, I […]
