RIT48 LiveBlog
Posted Mar 18, 2010RIT48 is a startup weekend at RIT that I created and organized, along with Ian Mikutel. We'll be posting pictures and blog posts throughout March 19-20, so you can watch here for updates! If you're in Rochester these two days, come check it out!
Please Call My Phone
Posted Feb 19, 2010 | Started February 2010 | Programming, Design, ImplementationI made Please Call My Phone because I kept losing my phone in my room, and needed an easy way to find it. The site also has a "schedule" feature, so you could use it as an excuse to get out of a bad date or boring meeting.
My 2009, In Retrospect
Posted Jan 01, 2010
New Blogzine Posts
Posted Nov 19, 2009text. Occasionally, an image or quote will break things up a bit- but that is about it. Magazines like Wired get it right- they combine stylized text with unique images. Why can't blog posts do the same?
GigaOM Network Redesign
Posted Jul 03, 2009My newest gig is working for the wonderful GigaOM blog network. My first task was to redesign the corporate website- it was a bit outdated, and needed a refresh. So, since I haven't posted anything new in awhile, I figured I'd share this.
What My Resume Says
Posted May 13, 2009Microsoft recently had a sweepstakes, where they gave away resume consultations. I had just finished working on mine, so I figured it can't hurt to enter. I did, and I won (as did a lot of other people- they must have given away a ton).
So, here's both my review of their giveaway, and their review of my resume.
Imagine RIT
Posted May 02, 2009Today was RIT's second annual Imagine RIT festival- a massive event displaying cool stuff people across campus are doing. I had an exhibit (which I'll post about later), however there were a ton of much cooler things going on.
So, here's my top five things I wish I had come up with or done.
The Casualties of Efficiency
Posted Mar 23, 2009I have the same routine every morning. I get up, pour myself a cup of coffee, and sit down in front of my computer. By the time my mug is empty again, I know what's going on with a few hundred of my closest friends.
Social “utilities” are changing the way we communicate. No longer do we have to talk to each other; we now talk at each other. We narcissistically broadcast what we're reading, feeling, thinking and doing to a world that didn't necessarily ask. It works better this way- we only have to say something once, and everyone we know can read and comment on it.
RIT Intersect Proposal
Posted Mar 23, 2009Currently, my pet project is The RIT Intersect- a way for browsing and finding new and interesting RIT classes. I have written a proposal for the application for a class I'm currently taking, Social Networks in Action. This proposal is going to change almost weekly, however I figured it would be a good way to "announce" my current project.
The Current Solution
Site History
Posted Mar 23, 2009I recently finished my redesign of gkoberger.net, but I didn't want to completely lose old versions of the site. So, I figured I'd post a few old versions, just so they weren't lost forever. Hopefully this layout lasts a bit longer than the previous ones- it took me 6 months (on and off, of course), so it better last a while.
The Original Version
Site Redesign
Posted Mar 21, 2009After being under development for way too long (I was still living in California when I started it), welcome to the newest version of my site, gkoberger.net! It comes with new branding, layout, and content.
