Microapp - SnackEyes: Because Drinking Games Don’t Need Embedded Java (TM)

By Bryan Woods | July 2, 2009

It seems like every time I start playing with Sinatra, an hour later I’ve built a microapp I wouldn’t have built without it.
I suppose this one’s pretty self-explanatory.

Rails Rumble 2009, Engine Yard Flex, Potion, Navicon Torture Technologies, and This Blog

By Bryan Woods | July 1, 2009

Rails Rumble 2009 is right around the corner and I’m chomping at the bit to register.
Last year I had just started to toy with installing Rails and learning this crazy new thing called computer programming. I really wanted to participate but was short on skills.
This year will be different. I got together with 3 other [...]

Graphing With Light

By Bryan Woods | June 15, 2009

I got to spend almost all of last Saturday playing with my Arduino and hooking it up to Processing.

Remember Sean Tevis, the information architect who decided to run for the state legislature in Kansas with an xkcd-style web comic promoting his campaign? He lost, but it was close, and he’s raising money in a similar fashion again. He is [...]

By Bryan Woods | February 25, 2009
