Hooking Up Online: The State of MySpace, Facebook, and Other Horrors

July 22nd, 2008 — Community, Humor, Relationships, Sex, Stranger than Fiction

It’s 11pm on a Saturday night and you are on Facebook MySpace Adult Friend Finder.  Again.

Steph the Geek.The urge strikes to browse users.  Hmm.  Female.  27-32.  Within 20 miles.  Must like spicy Thai food, Apple tattoos, and recursive jokes… glasses are good.  (click!)

You know you’ve done it.

Geeks Wanted

July 22nd, 2008 — Ajax, Blogging, Books, CMS, CSS, Community, Design, Fireworks, How-to, Humor, Marketing, Microsoft, Photoshop, Pimp that App, Politics, Programming, Ruby on Rails, Stranger than Fiction, Wordpress

Calling all geeks!

It’s time to band together and drop the funk.

Geek is the new hip, haven’t you heard?  Geek tattoos are chic.  Librarian glasses are sexy.   Weird is in.  And you can be, too.

geek chicOddly Zen is seeking collaborators and guest-bloggers for full-time, part-time, or one-off content contributions in the areas of:

  • Ajax (tips, tricks, tutorials, or opinion)
  • Apple
  • Blogging (the business, the practice, or general coverage)
  • Books (ebooks, free chapters, or book reviews)
  • Business
  • CMS (reviews, open-source projects, WordPress, etc.)
  • Community (open source, Ruby or Rails, social media, etc.)
  • CSS (tips, tricks, tutorials, or opinion)
  • Design (UI, HCI, UX, etc.)
  • Graphics (Photoshop or Fireworks tips, tricks, tutorials, or opinion)
  • Humor (geek is funny)
  • Linux
  • Marketing
  • Microsoft
  • Open source software
  • Pimp that App (case studies, tips, tricks, tutorials, or opinion)
  • Politics (active and apathetic)
  • Programming (mainly Ruby & Co. — possibly C#, Lisp, Erlang, etc.)
  • Stranger than Fiction (truth be told, geeky situations are weird and funny)
  • WordPress (development, customization, plug-ins, etc.)
  • Your Ideas (if it’s geek, or plain good, we’ll post it)

Increase your reach.  Enhance your image.  Be flagrantly geeky.

And get some link-backs all from the comfort of your cube.

Note:  Think of this as an open-source blog.  Contribution should make you feel good.  :-)

Also, I’m looking for someone (preferably one other person) to build a Rails application with.  It will be a gift to the community as well — and if it makes any cheese, we’ll donate it.

As Seen In Pradipta’s Rolodex

July 18th, 2008 — Asides, Community, Humor, Ruby on Rails, Stranger than Fiction

Were one of the chosen?Well, tonight I was part of the magic, inevitable train-wreck that was Pradipta’s Rolodex.  As one of the fated 416 Rails developers, I feel honored.  I was highly entertained with the community response and the interesting social experiment that flowed naturally from the snafu.  (Even a Twitter meme popped up — #pradipta.)

Thursday night never rocked so hard.
