Listening to the voices in your head

By Jeff | Published: June 30, 2007

I went to the emergency room on Sunday night. Ever since the kids came along I’ve been dreading having to take them there, but it turned out I was the one to get hurt first. I nearly put out my eye while doing a harmless bit of car repair. Here’s how it happened. Two of [...]

Phit released

By Jeff | Published: June 30, 2007

I released a new game—Phit—this week, and it quickly rose to the number 3 spot on Digg. I had more than twenty thousand visitors in the space of a few hours, and my server went down. It’s back up now, as you can see. In other news, I finally put my music up on mp3.com. [...]

Bringing the Server Home

By Jeff | Published: June 23, 2007

How to Handle Books

By Jeff | Published: June 12, 2007

I used to get depressed whenever I walked into a bookstore. I would stand there dazzled by the thousands of titles—so many of them so intriguing—and feel the fingernails of death at my neck. Everywhere I looked I saw books I yearned to read—The Bookseller of Kabul, How the Irish Saved Civilization, The Morrow Guide [...]

Book Review: How to be Good by Nick Hornby

By Jeff | Published: June 8, 2007

A few weeks ago I volunteered to lead a discussion group at SMU on Nick Hornby’s How to be Good. SMU invites entering students to participate in these groups before the semester starts as a sort of academic appetizer. This week I read the book to prepare for leading the discussion next fall.

When Web Commerce Goes Wrong

By Jeff | Published: June 6, 2007

Yesterday morning I visited sprint.com to check out their phones and plans, and noticed a strange problem. In Firefox, the page listing their phones flickered constantly, as if repeatedly refreshing itself. I found this a little disconcerting—should I trust a technology company with a broken website?—but decided to go with Sprint/Nextel anyway. They had the [...]
