And, by golly, you did it: SOPA and PIPA are starting to lose support on Capitol Hill. Whereas last week only 5 lawmakers were in opposition, after today’s actions, that number has swelled [...]

Moving to a new server; there may be some podcast/website issues over the next week or so (Updated)

Update, early Saturday morning, January 14: If you are reading this message, then that means that the worst of it is over: the site is up and running on the new server, and all the data was moved over successfully.

Announcing my new app, SongTweeter

I hope you’ll excuse me this little bit of blatant self-promotion, but I wanted to advertise my latest and greatest iOS app, SongTweeter!

One common thing on Twitter is to share whatever music, podcast, etc. you’re currently listening to, usually using the “#NowPlaying” hash tag. I was looking for an easy way to do this, [...]

The PMX 2011 Meta-Post of Doom!
