Odin for Mac →
This is a Wineskin wrapper I made for "Odin", software used to flash Samsung phones. It works on Snow Leopard, and should be fine on other versions of OSX as well.
Twitter Bootstrap →
I found this thru David Boskovic recently and it’s made prototyping and framing pages really quick and easy. Good stuff.
Pretty Placeholders →
It’s exactly what it sounds like. And I like it.
Facebook Tabs and Anchor Targets →
When target=”_parent” doesn’t work, try the base tag. It’s awesome.
LESS gui complier for mac →
Working with LESS just got WAY easier.
Google Web Fonts →
I don’t know how I missed this, but google has this huge web fonts thing. It’s cool.

jakeasmith/Lemonstand-Textmate-Bundle - GitHub →
I’ve been working with Lemonstand on a project lately and, in the process, created a textmate bundle to go with it. It’s a work in progress, but it’s finally progressed to the point that it’s usable.
Textmate Pro Tip
This is a feature of OS X Lion. A quick way to get to recently opened files and folders.
CMD+Tab to Textmate. Without releasing CMD, tap 1. Viola. Now you can use your arrow keys to select an item and press enter to open it.
1000 Push Up Challenge
So, this morning I was feeling incredibly motivated and decided to do 1000 push ups and build out a one page site to broadcast the adventure. I figured I would be more motivated to do it if people knew what I was doing and I invested a little time into it beforehand. And it turned into a fun little 45 minute project and I thought I’d share about it here.
First off, the social interaction....
Textmate 2 Tips →
This should be helpful over the coming months. My biggest question right now is why the tabs are attached to the title bar instead of the text window. How does that make sense? :)
Google giving away $75? →
It seems like Google is doing a ridiculous amount of promotion for free advertising. I wonder if their sales are down.

CSV to MySQL.
This is probably one of those times when I should be using snipplr or something.. Oh well.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ‘/your_file.csv’ INTO TABLE your_table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ‘,’ LINES TERMINATED BY ‘\n’ (field1, filed2, field3);
Pro Tip: mod_rewrite
Trying to combine mod_rewrite directives in .htaccess when you have AllowOverride None in the vhost config.. doesn’t work.
AllowOverride All ftw.

A Fresh Start with OS X Lion
After some problems and frustrations, I finally just wiped out my mac, took it to the Apple store and asked them to reinstall the OS for me. I didn’t have a Lion disc and didn’t feel like paying for one, soo.. yeah. Anyway, I’m sitting at the salon waiting on my wife while she gets a haircut, I have about half an hour of battery left so I decided to configure this...
Learning Web Development →
When I first started learning about web development I read every page of HTML Goodies I could. I even saved some of the pages to floppy disc so that I could go back to them when my mom was on the phone. (See kids, there was this thing called dial up…)
Lately, I’ve been looking for good tutorial sites to supplement official documentation. I’m learning some more advanced...

Pro Tip: KeePassX →
Keeping track of all your personal passwords is a pain. Even more so when you’re working with a team. Using KeePassX on a network folder that everyone can get to makes life a hell of a lot better.
And the pro tip? Use keyboard shortcuts! CMD+b will give you the username. CMD+c will give you the password. CMD+i will give you the URL. And CMD+u will open the URL in your browser of choice.
Lion and Apache VirtualHosts →
Apparently OS X Lion not only comments out the virtualhosts link by default, but also drops it inside of a conditional. It will throw you if you’re not thinking about looking for something like that.
Backbone, PHP and PUT →
Backbone’s description of Model.save is backwards. Save is PUT and edit is POST. In addition, I just found out PHP doesn’t have a clean way of accessing PUT variables. Here’s how you do it.

The Startup Ninja: "The white board is too small" →
thestartupninja:
We have a 4’x8’ white board in our office. The main developer working on Cliks, Jake A. Smith and I use it to collaborate, brainstorm, draw things that we pretend are wireframes, settle arguments, and relieve stress.
Jake and I are strong believers that one of the most important parts of a…

On my way to open beta with @mblackwell
This time last year I was in atlanta, sitting at the airport, waiting for the bus to Fort Benning.
One year ago from right now, I was doing paperwork, preparing to hit basic training. Oh how things change in a year…
“Go Humans Go.”
What were you doing 12 hours ago? Last time I checked, I was free climbing this: http://yfrog.com/0tjodhj
Alright, so 25 miles, 3,500 ft change in elevation, 9.5 hours and we did it on 4 hours of sleep.
Correction 15 miles.
PS welcome to Colorado.
The beginning of a new adventure…. And I have no idea where this one is going yet.
“Screw the whales, I’m driving”
Gym time. Rb, rock wall climbing and maybe a run today.
RT @davidstarlingm: @lecrae: @johnwbryson: “Don’t believe everything you think”. That’s a wise bumper sticker.
Time to hit the gym.
Need @rjohanningmeier to get here so he can pop my back.
Huh. PHP in spanish. cool - http://bit.ly/1nCkJ
Okay, so rock climbing is going to be one of those things I do a little bit at a time.
I should go rock climbing today.
So, I played racquetball today. I might’ve run straight into a wall. Maybe. Um… ouch.
Holy crap it’s cold! Pikes Peak is going to be ridiculous!

Oh, p.s. the new season of Fringe rocks.
RT @flpatriot: @jakeasmith …if you can’t fix it with duct tape, zip ties, and/or WD-40, it’s probably not worth fixing :)
