I Like Gowalla
Posted on October 21, 2009
Gowalla is a cool newish iPhone game from Alamofire (I love those guys). Here's the official blurb:
Gowalla is about going new places, doing remarkable things and meeting great people along the way.
I really enjoy using it. I took a small vacation with my mother to Denver, CO this week. We were hanging out in Estes Park wondering where to eat. I popped open Gowalla and found a nice little place to eat dinner. After we ate, we walked around town and got all of the other spots in Estes Park (I even created one).
Now I'm hooked. I have the urge to hit ever spot around me to get the stamp on my Gowalla password. I'm a sucker for points and achievements. Not to mention there's the whole items part, which is a lot of fun.
Go give Gowalla a try and friend me up. It's fun. I promise.
New Blog on GitHub and Jekyll
Posted on October 18, 2009
So today I moved my blog from Ruby on Rails on SliceHost to Jekyll on GitHub. It only took a two hours to figure it out and move everything over.
The main reason for moving to the new setup (besides the fact that I love redoing my blog for some reason) was being able to manage all of my posts via Markdown files locally, then pushing then up with Git when I had a good version.Jekyll lets me do this easily and quickly.
I'm going to give this a shot for now. I don't really want to write a blogging platform, even thought I've written a ton. I just like programming. Now that I have more projects than I have time for, I'm looking for something simple that I can simply post with. When I roll my own solution, I end up working on it for a few hours each time instead of just writing my post.
