So I have known Sean for about 4 years now.. And tonight at dinner the waitress asked me to spell me last name for the credit card tab I was running.. I say.. S T R E B E L. Then I look at Sean and say “Saint Rebel”. With a light bulb visibly glowing above his head he says “Oh your blog.. saint rebel.. now I get it”
St. Rebel.. the best of both worlds.
Know it.. I live it.

A few years ago we built a small business website solution based on wordpress called flare9.com. I am updating the brand and revamping the whole backend and will be re-launching the service as page.ly this summer. The service lets you create your own website, on your own domain name, with email service.
It is aimed at the startup/micro business that needs something professional looking, fast, without spending a ton of money.
It will also be available for white label soon after launch.. where resellers may set up their own site builder service.
Really Facebook?
Aside from the fact that apparently “2 of my buddies from scottsdale think I am stupid” they use the <blink> tag to shout the IQ rank of my friends to me..
Hey facebook app developers.. please go play in traffic.
Facebook is on the backside of awesome and is speeding 100mph towards suck

So I have been giving a few guys @gangplank a hard time for coming into the office wheezing, hacking, coughing and otherwise spreading their sickness around.
Getting sick sucks.. but it happens. But it doesnt need to happen to everyone you work with.
A couple years ago one of my employees came into work looking like walking death, I had a meeting that morning so he was there a few hours before I came in. When I got there and saw him, I told him to go home. And not in a nice way. I did not want to get sick, and I did not want to lose more productivity by the rest of the team catching his funk. Of course though.. i did get his death, and so did 2 others.. so the company as a whole lost a few days of billings/output. That is real $$$ gone.
To his credit, He was commited to his job and felt compelled to come in. Thank you, but no thank you.
Think about all the common surfaces someone comes in contact with at business office:
So you are sharing all these surfaces with the sick guy that means wells, but is leaving little bacteria/virus cultures on all these common places throughout the office. I am no bio-scientist but I know these microbes can live on these surfaces for a few hours to a few days.
So be kind to your fellow workers, employers, etc. Stay home when you are ill. If you sickness takes the boss and 2/3 of your team out for 5 days.. you cost the company.. and the ECONOMY for heavens sake a multiple of your wages/productivity.
UPDATE:
sure as shit i got a cold.. muther f$ckers

Took all of about 6 hours to fully integrate OpenId into bestpartyever.com using the widgets from RPXnow.
Did not have to change a single db field. Most of the time spent was writing controller code to correctly handle what happens when one of the current 9000+ users decides to start using an OpenId. A bit of conditional logic, and new views.. away we go.
Big shouts to @marcusnelson from UserVoice for tunring me on to RPXnow, and big shouts to RPX for making it so dang easy.
So.. thought I would just post a list of links on projects I have been working on the last few months. In no particular order.
So that was my Nov-March, what did you do?
