I’ve created a simple TODO Web Application that is compatible with the Getting Things Done system.
It should work on a modern phone, tablet or desktop.
Leading up to the Firefox 4 launch, I’ve kept myself from working on any side projects. That said, sometimes I need to hack on something to put myself to sleep. [...]

Mozilla Labs has created a proof of concept Open Web based App Store. I’m excited about this work: Software developers, business developers take control of your platforms!

I got some great feedback during Thursday’s Science Fair. Apologies in advance if I missed mentioning your name and feedback, some of my notes were a little illegible. Please leave a comment to capture your thoughts.
The terminology “Stream” is no good and confuses everyone. Describing the project as a stream editing and publishing platform is [...]

This is a call for you to create some interesting themes using sudoSocial.
Many users have started customizing their CSS. Two people I wanted to highlight are Turmel Antoine and Charlie November, who have created some pretty cool themage.
To make customizing your HomeStream easier, there is a new release of

Streams are so pervasive and so slippery, it’s easy to think that our goal in building sudoSocial is to build an “X” Killer.
Here are 4 applications that we’re not setting out to build:
A FriendFeed Killer
Cliqset, Jaiku, Google Buzz, Sweetcron, Pubwich, and other lifestreaming [...]
I’ve been working on a web application for hosting your profile page/homepage. You put RSS or Atom feed links in and it will pull together the content into a stream.
