    1. Flash Will Live, HTML5 Will Take Over On-line Video

      Tue, May 11, 2010

      I've been pretty calm for the past few days/weeks. The sun has started to shine outside, I've had the chance to go bouldering outside the last days so I've managed to stay silent through the whole twitter follower mess, Steve's flash rant etc. But no more. I got into a conversation with my coworker, Ari, about the future of Flash in the HTML5 world. The general opinion out there that the media has led us to believe is generally that Flash is dead, forgotten and HTML5's canvas + javascript will replace it completely in the nearest future.

    2. To Rewrite or Not to Rewrite and The Sunk Code Dilemma

      Sun, May 2, 2010

      Stop. Don't do it. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: "This code is ugly. It's messy, it's big, it seems too complicated with too many features, trying to get my head into it will be too time consuming, I'll just rewrite this. It won't take long. A few hours, maybe". I'm here to tell you: Don't do it.

    3. Check out my weekend project: FridgeList todo list

      Sun, Apr 25, 2010

      I've been spending most of this weekend knees deep in HTML5, localStorage, CSS3 for a hobby weekend project of mine: FridgeList The original intention was to create a HTML5 web app using the Facebook Graph API, since I've been pretty excited about that. But then I got this idea for a super simple task list and I guess the Facebook Graph project will have to wait....

    4. Defining "The Cloud" - Hint: SaaS is not Cloud!

      Thu, Apr 22, 2010

      There are so many buzz words in this industry that gain momentum, and people tend to start using them everywhere, trying to insert some jizz into whatever their product is. In the last couple of years the term "Cloud" has been one of the most popular ones. It comes in many forms of course. Some of them include "In the cloud", "Cloud computing", "Cloud based services", etc.

    9. My Pragmatic Take on SEO

      Wed, Mar 24, 2010

      I've been thinking a lot about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) these days. Mostly due to a pretty controversial article by Paul Boag, Why I don't get SEO. I get the point of the article but I think it misses a few considerations. I want to summarize my own thoughts on SEO in a pragmatic way. Disclaimer: I'm not an SEO expert and I do not work in the field so I could be wrong. This is just a Web Developer's pragmatic perspective.

    2. Probably a mistake

      Tue, Jan 27, 2009

      I think my previous excitement was unfounded … probably was just some guy playing around, not a real bot… But I’m patient.
