Given that 92% of my web traffic comes from first timers it’s unlikely that you, dear reader, will have noticed, but for the first time since its inception, bmd.com got a major face lift over the past few days. A brand new skin. It wasn’t really planned; it just kinda happened. Browsing around for a …
For the first time, QuickShift For Chrome has surpassed 1,000 users!
Just found this video about QuickShift For Chrome today. Pretty cool!
QuickShift is a rad tool to have. Unlike so many other “multiple monitor” software utilities, it doesn’t include a bunch of invasive shtuff like extra taskbars and pointy-clicky buttons at the top of all your windows. If you’re a mouse person, sure, those things are probably great, but I’m a keyboard man myself. That stupid …
Until two days ago I was one of the few—the proud—FaceBook and Twitter holdouts. Facebook is just one big buggy mess slash privacy nightmare slash self-inflicted spam machine.

There’s something slightly bittersweet about finally being on the verge of releasing a product and knowing full well that it’s already on its way to obsolescence. I feel like I can actually relate to all those companies that released dedicated eReaders at the exact same moment in time that Apple got into the game with …
Over due and over budget. Isn’t that pretty much the mantra for all software projects? Thank god, because I think I’ve been saying this site would be up and running “in just two more weeks” for the past three months. I never would have guessed it would take this long for me to get everything …
