My SXSW proposal. I plan to present "Design for the Coder's Mind": http://www.kadavy.net/blog/posts/design-for-the-coders-mind-... But I'm stuck on the name. Some contenders: - Hacking Design: Reverse-Engineering Beauty - Design for Hackers: Reverse-Engineering Beauty - Visual Design, Reverse-Engineered: Design for Coders Thoughts?

I think: - Design for Hackers: Reverse-Engineering Beauty

Sounds like an interesting talk!

It's late evening at the moment, and tomorrow is the birthday party for one of my boys; a Pirate Party, arrrr.

At the moment I'm cutting out eyepatches so we can play pin the eyepatch on the pirate. Next up I've been assigned to draw treasure maps. Should be a fun day

Geo-search backend for a mobile social network on App Engine. It's a project for someone else's startup and has been a lot of fun.

Working on a Silverlight app for my employer. I inherited this app from previous contractors and some of the stuff they did is pretty scary, so last night was the tipping point and I've decided to start ripping out all the bad stuff. I'm also torn on Silverlight in general and seriously considering rewriting the app from scratch in an HTML framework (debating between Rails and ASP.NET MVC, even if that debate may see…

What's wrong with Silverlight? Just curious about your experience. I'm doing ASP.NET web forms at work and would much rather use Silverlight for a few things.

Working on a custom AMI I put together for Amazon's EC2 that is designed specifically to power a rails framework I built. Having some fun with their EBS volumes, very useful.

Trying to get Sign Inventory location data (stop signs, traffic lights, etc) from the city of Rockville, MD. So far it's a losing battle. Integrating TIGER data into my GIS the rest of the time (Geodjango is fun).
