I can't believe I only posted three updates since the last time I went to WWDC in 2006. That's pretty sad.

Since I started over at CNET Networks I have moved on from news.com to reviews.cnet.com. It really doesn't make much difference, I just don't work on News tasks anymore.
Also, on May 15 '08, it was announced that CBS would acquire CNET for $1.8 billion. In other words, I now work for Katie Couric and David Letterman :). Folks here at CNET are pretty excited about the deal. I guess it's a good thing -- only time will tell.

I will be attending WWDC again this year. It's going to be my second time so I'm quite excited. Steve is supposed to announce the long-awaited 3G iPhone and tell us more about iPhone SDK. The conference is sold out for the first time in its history. That means more elbows hitting me on the way to the keynote hall on the morning of June 9th.
Folks from VersionTracker took over product management of my CNET iPhone app so we'll be attending a few sessions together. Speaking of iphone.cnet.com, my CiUI is getting some positive feedback from the open-source community. There is still a lot that can be done to the library to make it more robust, yet lighter, so I really hope more people will join in the development. I will sure be promoting the hell out of it at WWDC.

I released a little library for iPhone Web development called CiUI. The library does pretty much the same thing iUI does but in a different fashion. I'm using it on iphone.cnet.com, so go check it out, if you're interested.
Also, a kitchen sink of all CiUI's features can seen in this demo.

You can read more about it here:

I have finally moved to the Bay Area, which I absolutely love, to work as a software engineer for CNET Networks (their news.com division). It's been really exciting so far but I still have no furniture at my new place :) Good times, good times...

September issue of the Journal of Educational Technology and Society contains a paper discussing our research on temporal relations of online discussions. You can find the paper on IFETS' site or by going to the RESEARCH section of my website.

I will be heading out to San Francisco to attend Apple's annual Word Wide Developers Conference from August 7 - 11. I can hardly wait for all the sessions, hands-on labs and one-on-one lessons from Apple developers. In addition to that, Steve Jobs will be previewing the new OS X Leopard and maybe even introduce a new product.
In any case, this is going to be very exciting.

A very talented and successful Pittsburgh artist, singer and musician, Tom Carraher, has asked me to put a site together for him. It should be up in a month or so go check it out, when you get a chance. His music is really, really cool. The site can be found at tommycarr.net.

I just finished working on a car sale website Free Motor Mart. Please, go check it out at freemotormart.com

I've started working on two new projects recently. One of them will be a website for the Duquense University Tamburitzans Alumni group and details about the second one will be coming soon. They both need to be done pretty fast so no time to waste... :-)

Alright, it took me a while to get around to actually set everything up, but I finally managed to deploy the site and made it available online. Please, feel free to look around and leave me a message in my guestbook.

Enjoy!!!

Finally found a couple of minutes to finish up with the basic template for this litte site.
Now just to fill in the contents...

After building a million websites for other people (well, not really a million), I finally decided to build one for myself. Today is the day when I've started laying down the basic structure - trying to keep it pretty simple here...
