PayPal Can't Handle Identical Home and Business Addresses

This one's for people who use PayPal for their home business.

Apparently, the PayPal system isn't able to use the same address for home and business. When I moved, I created a new address, set it as my home address, and updated my credit cards. Problem was, the old address was still listed as my business address.

Import Multiple RSS Feeds into Facebook Notes

Facebook's notes application doesn't have a built-in way to handle multiple streams of RSS input. You only get to choose one URL to import your notes from and that's what appears on your profile. However, if you've got multiple streams of content you can still have it all published on Facebook.

Ideas on Tap Tonight!

Deadlines prevented me from giving up a full day to Flex/AIR training. Still a little disappointed about that as I'm sure I would have learned a lot. So try again. Barring some major catastrophe, I will be attending Ideas on Tap tonight.

Looking forward to hearing the speakers. Hears a quick rundown.

Free Day of Flex/Flash/AIR Training!

Midforms 09 is Coming!

Yesterday I helped setup Midforms 09, a three-day digital media event in Vancouver. There's lots more to do but already I can see how awesome this exhibit is going to be.

Stephen Jagger at Third Tuesday

It's been nearly a week since entrepreneur Stephen Jagger spoke at Third Tuesday but I wanted to post some of the highlights of his presentation, "Tools for Growth."

Now the title of the talk didn't quite describe the topic: Jagger's list of tools were more relevant to cutting costs and running virtual businesses. One of the businesses he's involved with runs a real estate website, Ubertor. Since it's founding eight years ago, the company made a transition from the typical office-based company to a virtual business where everybody worked from home.

Nature's Mandatory Downtime

recovering. by-symptoms: bed blanket claustrophobia, lipton chicken noodle soup overdose, and too much singing with the "sexy," smoky voice.

It's not often I get sick and it's been years since illness has kept me away from work for more than a day. I spent Monday to Wednesday and most of Thursday lying in bed with no energy.

Improving the Baby Name Explorer Interface

The Baby Name Brainstorm

The new baby name visualization tool from Baby Name Brainstorm has been making the rounds in all the visualization blogs. It's a great platform for exploring a huge data set of first names. It's aesthetically pleasing, very responsive, and a pleasure to use.
