Harper Reed: Software, PHP, MySQL, YoYo, Juggling, Baphomet

I am apparently listed in wired magazine.

Well… not me per se - but one of my websites. I don’t really know which one, but judgeing from what i have heard - i think they talked about my flickr myspace badge. This is the second time i have heard about being in wired. The first was for audreyhacking.com and i don’t think [...]

I need some new sites. Speaking of which - I am making a new site: geopoli.com. It is a geotargeted political banner ad and text ad delivery site. I want to make it so you can include a dynamic image or JS code snippet on your blog or myspace profile and it will display to [...]

mr. & mrs.

Last night hiromi and mark and myself went and saw mr. and mrs. smith. it was pretty nice. Really funny. a lot of good relationship jokes. The only flaw was that we got there late so we had to sit in the very front row. kind of a bummer. but it ruled.
This weekend was [...]

I am rather sleepy. tonight/today was good. I coded all day in
anticipation of my new tool being released. I am excited. unfortunantly
all my work is going to be looked at as sketchy - cuz the competitor
released their "upgrade" which is significantly better than what they
had, and rather similar to what I have done. doh! I guess I have to
redo and make mine a lot bett…

I really didn’t realize it was truely happening until I read her entry about work and the disengagement from sait work. apparently I swear. but it is kinda weird to think about. becau…

the world.. E.T.A. etc. - nonsese

So today some terrorists in the basque region of spain blew up a bunch of commuter trains during rush hour. this is after the E.T.A. declared a cease fire on the caralina region of spain - so apparently the terrosist actions are now concentrated on madrid and the like. i know so little about the fran…

yoyo website

the last couple days I have been working in all my spare time to finish this yoyo website. I think it is going to be really fun. I will be doing a bunch of fancy things to make it good. I am excited to attempt a new website. I haven’t made one in a couple of weeks. video editing is different. I think we need to eventually reshoot a bunch of stuff. but that is…
