@berkun I saw you read Founding Faith. You might like the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. He was such a leader/inventor/printer. #
@Jim_LePage Let me know if you find one. Twitter Tools plugin is… ehhh. SimpleTwitter is ok if you just want to display a single update in reply to Jim_LePage #
@Jim_LePage I was having trouble with TwitterTools posting my gathered tweets twice as a blog entry. Are you looking for sidebar widget? in reply to Jim_LePage #
@jeremycowart Mint is great but won't pass in third party info. I have INGDirect & they wouldn't sync with it. Ping me if you find anything. in reply to jeremycowart #
@Jim_LePage You could use the js Twitter widget to list your posts, but it'd be better to get a server side solution to echo the content in reply to Jim_LePage #
@GabeTaviano Lawn mower racing? Check out the RC lawn mower as featured in @make magazine http://makezine.com/22/ in reply to GabeTaviano #
@jeremycowart Financial Peace is awesome. Good luck Jeremy! I've been at it for 6 months and my wife and I don't fight about money anymore. in reply to jeremycowart #
Poland is now leading over Malaysia for installs of my #Guitar App. http://www.guitar2ner.com/ #
@pollyplummer I saw you are going to launch a stock site soon. Have you ever used envato before? I just found it this morning & was curious #
I hate using padding in #CSS I prefer setting margin on internal elements instead. I could use a little more padding on my desk chair though #

Let's compare UX design to mex restaurants: Chipotle's (@Chipotletweets) menu is easy to follow. Moe's (@moes_HQ) is absolutely confusing. #
@wvpv "All potatoes should be red potatoes." Agreed. in reply to wvpv #
I just followed a few people who I'm interested in from a design standpoint except they tweet every 3 minutes & it's killing my twitter feed #
People need to learn how to act more professional. If you don't agree with a supervisor, don't call him an F$&@ idiot in front of coworkers #
I love thunder and lightning #
@ryssiebee Hey no problem! Good luck with your teaching! in reply to ryssiebee #
The Amazon Showcase plugin is a great little Wordpress plugin that allows you to list recommended books by ISBN http://bit.ly/bYqWxc #
@ChipotleTweets I'd expect nothing less! RT Glad you dig our new boards, the idea was to make it very simple and easy to understand. -Colin in reply to ChipotleTweets #
Yeah why not? There should be a new diet book out called, 'Don't make me Poop.' ….. totally kidding. #
Ahhhh. There we go. #
Just woke up the dev dept. with a sailing nerf dart. #
Just read a few blog posts by Scott @berkun I thoroughly enjoy his writing style. #
Designing well is like changing diapers. If it doesn't fit your audience, crap gets everywhere. #
@wordpress "WordPress Plugins Directory currently… unplugged. Back up soon." How soon is soon? #
Excellent CSS best practices post: http://www.dezinerfolio.com/2009/02/20/css-standards-best-practices #
Are you a single line #CSS coder or a multi line CSS coder? There are some interesting variations here: http://bit.ly/dAZZ5Y #
Released in 1928, Eric Gill developed the font Gill Sans which became the Helvetica of England and competed with German founded font Futura #
@jchristopher Seems Godaddy is getting a reputation for bad UI Design. I just noted the same thing last week. And… I switched… in reply to jchristopher #
@Jim_LePage Cool stuff with your Word art. I'm diggin it. @wvpv originally tweeted the link: http://goo.gl/fb/G2buU #

Great time talking about tech and ideas with @cmoel last night @starbucks #
Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. #CSS
p a { white-space:nowrap; } #
Design is visual problem solving. If your team of developers can understand and appreciate that, collaboration will become much easier. #
Have you told your wife you love her today? #
Seriously? This guy is looking to hire a Coldfusion/PHP/Wordpress/Writer/Designer for $10 / hour? You're kidding right? http://bit.ly/cbtAaW #
Having a great friday at @fusionapps . A little birdie outside my window told me a new fusionapps site will be up in the near future. #

Breaking apart a blog design to build a #Wordpress theme this morning. Good morning php… #
#Annoyed Why don't people use the index.php page as a master framework and make header.php the actual
contents? Sheesh. #
"AT&T app offers TV on iPhone, new BlackBerry" – CNN
EXCEPT you won't be able to watch TV live… excitement bubble.. burst… #
Typeface. Not Font. #
And yes it's one word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface #
I love the UX design of @mailchimp. Constant Contact…. you don't even come close. #

@Vokle did a better job on UX design than other live video streaming competitors. Plus @imogenheap likes them so that raises the level a bit #
@jchristopher Great book choice to give away. Clear, concise and well written. in reply to jchristopher #
When positioning divs with css, I have a habit of making the background-color of divs fluorescent colors. Ate too much Lucky Charms as a kid #
@BrendonKoz A fellow coder and runner I see. I ran two 5ks last Spring. Have you ever done the NYC Urban race? It sounds interesting. #
@chriscoyier .uppercase-class-names { display:NONE; } in reply to chriscoyier #
Hello ColdFusion nice to meet you. #
Baby #2 is due next March! So excited… #
@brendonkoz @jchristopher I think I'm going to pass on the NYC Urban race but I might do http://bit.ly/aiEqyl 5k then end the year a 10k #
@brendonkoz Yeah I've kinda just started the running thing. Races are so fun! Maybe next year I'll be ready for a half marathon. Have fun! #
Make Magazine @make please find someone to do a #mountainbike mod on the Elliptigo bike. I'd love to take it offroad. http://bit.ly/9ot7GK #
All of my coworkers are gawking at the $2,200 Elliptigo price tag. What are they thinking??? @elliptigo #
#FF @jeremycowart @ashenden @chriscoyier @jchristopher @the_junction @tjwalsh @jeffwongdesign @brendonkoz @wvpv #

My brain is { float:left;} this morning. I guess I need to clear it with some more coffee. #
@jeffwongdesign Thanks for the info on the @addthis plugin for WP. I'll give it a whirl and reach out to @thorpus if I have any issues. in reply to jeffwongdesign #
@rickguyer Howdy Rick. I saw your tweet about not coding for IE6. How's that working out for you? Are you talking web apps or just a site? in reply to rickguyer #
@rickguyer Cool. Just curious if you put an IE6 'sniffer' in there and put a link to upgrade, or encourage the upgrade in some other way? in reply to rickguyer #
Installed shadowbox.js instead of colorbox. I'm thinking it's a little better since you can specify an adapter (prototype, jquery, etc.) #
@tjwalsh Cool paintings. I'm with you on making an impact. I've always felt if God gives us a gift, it's our responsibility to help others #
14 Famous Man Caves | The Art of Manliness http://bit.ly/d5W7J6 #
Converting the new FusionApps web design to HTML and CSS. Ready, set…. Let's do it! #
Tired of GoDaddy from a user experience standpoint. Their site is overcomplicated and they're overpriced. Might use FatCow..recommendations? #
There are some pretty talented people here at FusionApps. I'm diggin it. #

Time to create a Wordpress template. I love coding on overcast days. There's just something about it. #
Designed the new Boston PHP Meetup Group logo – http://bit.ly/d233ce #
Designers: Using multiple Wordpress installs for each blog/domain? Use Wordpress MU. Finished a local install of it on my mac using @mamp_en #
Listening to Coldplay eventually makes me tired for some reason. Nothing a little @mutemath and a couple shots of espresso can't fix. #
Need a way to flip only a background image in CSS while keeping the other contents normal? I posted how in the comments http://bit.ly/c5s5ey #
@nashvillephotog Nothing a little Tang can't fix. in reply to nashvillephotog #
@wvpv How do you like the Google image search? They need a lesson in formatting from Bing. Put the images in a grid.. use same size thumbs.. in reply to wvpv #
@jeffwongdesign I was wondering when there'd be an AddThis Wordpress Plugin. I used to use Sociable but we're using WordpressMU now in reply to jeffwongdesign #
@ryssiebee Seriously. RT Why do so many people I know seem so jaded? What did you expect from the world to be so disappointed? in reply to ryssiebee #
Modded my Fender Pro Junior Amp to reduce hum & improve sound. Rerouted wires, added new tubes, put in a switch to control negative feedback #
It's an IE6 and PNG fix kinda morning #
CSS Tip: On any floated div with a margin, IE6 will double the margin width. If you add display:inline; to your floated div, problem solved! #
@jeffwongdesign We're going to use internally hosted Wordpress Multi User. I think it's 3.7, not sure. We're still staging the environment. in reply to jeffwongdesign #
