Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

I’ve been a poor correspondent. Sadly, that’s unlikely to change at any time in the next couple of months. I have a major new release of Serendeputy in its final stages, and I’m also working a separate super-secret project. Lots to do. Blogging suffers.

But, I should be able to have some pictures up this weekend. I have a feeling that Sadie and Lucy are going to be happy with what Santa is going to bring them.

In the meantime, here are some sites I’ve recently added to the Serendeputy catalog which are really cool. It’s worth checking them out.

Fashion Served: I’ve been building out the fashion tree, and I found this site. It’s a showcase for some of the best fashion photography around.

(And yes, I understand the irony of someone who wears shorts and a t-shirt in his home office all day building out the fashion tree.)

Roger Ebert: Roger Ebert can’t talk anymore, but he sure can write well.

Wend Magazine: I’ve also been building out the green tree — we’ve become much more involved with green this year — and I found this site. All sorts of interesting links, articles and stories.

Clients from Hell: Freelance and design clients say the darndest things.

Special bonus, here are my top 25 Most Popular Sources at the moment: Fail Blog, Sadly No, Balloon Juice, Fashion Served, Techdirt, New York Times, Work it Mom, Consumerist, Roger Ebert, TechCrunch, Business Insider, Boston Globe, Wend Magazine, Steve Blank, Holliston Reporter, The Atlantic, Clients from Hell, ESPN Boston, Tracker Editor’s Blog, SEOMoz, Harvard Business School Publishing, The Baseline Scenario, MLB Trade Rumors, Entertainment Weekly, and Cracked.

Make of that list what you will.

Serendeputy doesn’t lie. That list is pretty much what I’m paying attention to right now…

What’s up with Serendeputy?

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

As most of you know, I left Boston.com a few months ago to work on a different project, called Serendeputy. I’m heads-down writing the software for the initial release (in case you’ve been wondering why it’s been a little quiet in these parts). I hope to have something useful to show by the end of the year. I’ll post updates here as I make progress.

I’ve also been writing some longer pieces over at the Serendeputy blog, which you might not have seen. Here are some of the better pieces:

Stack Overflow is pretty impressive
Progress Update — 9/15/08
Fan Mail: Twit Podcasts
Book Review: The Dip, by Seth Godin
SmugMug and Amazon Web Services

I’ll try to link over to that blog every once in a while for stuff that might be of general interest. Or, you can subscribe to the Serendeputy rss feed.

I hope to come up for air soon…
