New Year's Resolutions 2013
I have a few resolutions for 2013: I'll be writing for the Pastry Box Project once a month all year long. The Pastry Box Project selects a group of 30 people who are influential in their field and has them each write one post a month for a full year. Here's my first post from today, Thursday 10 January. You should really follow the whole blog - there's some really great posts! My second goal is to fix up my open source projects. I'm pretty good at occasionally releasing code as open source but I'd like to be better at... Continue reading

I'd love to try logging in with Google, especially for corporate customers who have Google Apps.

Log in or sign up with GitHub (but not with Facebook)
For my latest product, Grove, I wanted to allow users to quickly log in or sign up with an existing account, such as Twitter or Facebook. A while back I collected some data to determine how many people were using Facebook, Twitter, and OpenID to log in to TypePad. It was fairly obvious to me tha...
I think it's tricky and depends on what the user might want to do.
I think it would be great to have a way for users to try out Grove without signing up first and we might add this at some point.
Perhaps testing is the best way to figure out what people really want to do when they sign up.

Angel -
The "Update your user profile" permission is required in order to fetch your email address (if your email address is private). We don't use it for anything else.
Right now there aren't many sites that use GitHub for logging in. I'm hoping that in the future GitHub will update their permissions to better fit this use case.

Good suggestion! I don't live anywhere near one of the UPS Stores in San Francisco, but I could get a PO Box at a local store... I'll look into this. Thanks!!

Living in the Cloud - My New Year's Resolution from 2011
On the last possible day to write about my 2011 New Year's resolution, here it is: Live in the cloud. The term "cloud" has most often been used in the context of enterprise computing, but there are lots of cloud services for your personal life as well. In 2011 I attempted to get rid of as many p...
Dropcam looks really cool. I don't have a puppy or a house though... really nothing interesting to watch :(

For my personal files, Dropbox is a really nice offsite backup. For work (Grove.io) we have a backup database on Rackspace and daily offsite backups on Amazon S3.

It's pretty cheap and depends on the time window for delivery. For a one-hour window it's $5 - $10 but if you go for the 3 or 4 hour window you can sometimes get a $3 - $6 discount on your order!

Thanks Jack! Grove.io is more of a business service... I didn't talk about what I use for work otherwise I would have also mentioned GitHub, Mailgun, Stripe, TellFi, Amazon Web Services etc...

The term "cloud" has most often been used in the context of enterprise computing, but there are lots of cloud services for your personal life as well. In 2011 I attempted to get rid of as many physical things as I could. I took some risks and purposefully sought out new services I could use to further my cloud lifestyle. Here's a rundown of all the cloud services I used to replace all the "stuff" in my life. Media I... Continue reading

Convore - group chat for everyone
I've got a new company and a new product, Convore. Convore is the somewhat indirect result of my thinking on group chat for the past few years. About two years ago I was using IRC almost every day to communicate at work and with friends. For the 2009 Django Dash, I helped design and build a web-based IRC client called Leafy Chat with Alex Gaynor and Chris Wanstrath. Soon after building the IRC-based Leafy Chat, it started to bother me that IRC was so complicated and nerdy. Even with the Leafy Chat web client, I kept mulling over how much... Continue reading

With the success of Heroku, both in terms of the recent sale and the fact it’s awesome, it was always just a matter of time before other languages and frameworks got into the platform as a service game. Here’s all the one’s I know about so far, many of them in or entering beta testing at the moment. Any others I’m missing?
