SimpleBits: Welcome to the bitstream →
My good friend Dan switched to Tumblr, did a handsome, responsive redesign, and explains his thinking in this post. His reasons for switching to Tumblr and his thoughts on his current in-process redesign/rejiggering mirror mine and what’s going on here to a T.

James
On May 28th, my son, James Baden Warren, was born. We are so thrilled to start getting to know this guy. It was a crazy fast labor, and he was a couple weeks early, so all of this came as a pretty fast surprise! We’re not complaining. He’s awesome.

My Article for EE Insider: Simplifying How Content... →
My first ever article on EE Insider was published today. It goes in depth on how to use one seemingly simple technique using Pages to simplify how content works on a website. I’m excited to write for EE Insider and I hope I can do a bit more of that in the future. I say that knowing full well I have other writing projects on my plate and a baby due in three weeks (!), so we’ll see how...

SXSW 2010 Recap
In March, I traveled to Austin for SXSW. For whatever reason my experience at SXSW felt a lot more low key than in years past. This is a bit strange because this year was the biggest SXSW ever, and I had far more stuff to do than ever before.
Cogaoke
In what is undoubtedly now a yearly tradition, Happy Cog threw an enormous karaoke party entitled “Cogaoke”. We pulled out all the...

SXSW Photoset
I posted some photos from SXSW to Flickr. I might have averaged more shots this year than last, but that’s not saying much.
SXSW Panel Recap →
I plan on writing my own recap of this at some point, but this is pretty much exactly how it went down. Thanks Kenny for doing the nearly-to-the-detail recap! (Be ware ye who might be offended by Kenny’s pretty colorful language)

Totally enjoying using this app to stay on top of my schedule at SXSW.
See You at SXSW 2010
South by Southwest Interactive starts later this week, and it is shaping up to be a really nice event. Excitement is in the air as everybody at the office is packing and planning for Cogaoke, our yearly Karaoke party that we host at SXSW. In addition to that, there will be healthy representation from Happy Cog folk at panels too.

Happy Cog’aoke 2 →
My week was almost entirely devoted to working on this teaser site for Cogaoke. There were lots of fun little challenges in building it which were rewarding enough to work through, but the most rewarding thing is seeing how excited people are about this event. People really seem to take ownership of it and that makes it extra special.
Rethinking
I started 2009 extremely optimistic. It felt like the world was just out there, ready to be gotten. Looking back, I can say 2009, while surprising in many ways, was a fantastic year.
In a lot of ways, 2009 was a lot about rethinking. I found myself rethinking how to run my business, what my professional goals were, and also what my personal plans were. I had lots of new things come my way...
