Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 30 (Coding, Coding, Coding)

August 4, 2009 · 43 comments

It has been quite a while since my last update on what I actually do for a living – work on the startup Skribit. Okay, well to be technically correct this blog is more of a living as it pays more (thanks for reading!), but I work about 60 hours a week on Skribit, more or less. Some weeks we’re gearing up for a deploy (like this past week) and I work a lot more to clean things up in time. For those wondering what Skribit is or what I’ve talked about thus far as I attempt to chronicle [click to continue…]

Turning 23

June 30, 2009 · 30 comments

Not much to say today other than I’m now 23 years of age! Posting around here has been a little slow and will continue to be for a while. I caught some virus and have had fever for the last week and according to the ER doctor at the hospital, it’ll be another week or two 4-6 weeks before I get my energy back. In the meantime, I’ll be playing Flight Control in bed with my shiny new iPhone 3GS. [click to continue…]

Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 12 (Scaling)

April 1, 2009 · 34 comments

My last startup update discussed Skribit’s recent redesign and entrance into the GRA/TAG Business Launch competition. Since then a few things have been keeping us busy. For one, we have had more and more server issues. While Skribit doesn’t use much in the way of CPU [click to continue…]

Thoughts on SXSWi 2009 from a First Timer

March 20, 2009 · 26 comments

I just got back from Austin, Texas the other day and I’m still recovering. I was in Austin for the famed South By Southwest Interactive Festival. This was my first time. You can describe it as “where San Franciscans go to meet other San Franciscans” or “spring break for web developers” but either way it was still a wow. I think I put it best in one of my tweets midway through SXSW: [click to continue…]

Meet Me at SXSW Interactive 2009

March 12, 2009 · 2 comments

This year I will finally be attending the South by Southwest Interactive Festival. I’ve always wanted to attend but school has been in the way. SXSW has been called “spring break for web developers” by Valleywag, but it’s essentially a 5 day festival/conference filled with interesting panels at the start of the day and then rounded out with loads of parties and mixers hosted by big names like [click to continue…]

Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 8 (Redesign)

March 2, 2009 · 17 comments

The last few weeks of working on Skribit have been proved to be rewarding. It’s finally gotten to a point where it’s noticeable that we are making some progress with product development. This past Friday I pushed live the new redesign of Skribit.com. A few weeks ago we hired graphic designer Justin Ruckman to pump out some mockups for the next iteration of the Skribit website design. Justin was already [click to continue…]

My First Day Working Full-Time for Skribit

January 7, 2009 · 46 comments

I’m sorry to disappoint – this post has nothing to do with the Apple keynote at Macworld 2009, iTunes going completely DRM-free, the new 17-inch MacBook Pro with an 8 hour battery life, or a myriad of CES coverage. Instead, this post is about my first day of full-time work at Skribit, a startup helping bloggers cure writer’s block (among other things) that I have been working on for the last year alongside Co-Founder Calvin Yu (whose full-time gig was featured on AJC.com today).

Paul’s 2009 Tech New Year’s Resolution

December 28, 2008 · 24 comments

Last year I wrote a tech new year’s resolution post where I wrapped up the year and listed my goals for 2008. I stated that I wanted to reduce clutter in my life in regards to physical possessions and digital assets. I think I have successfully accomplished what I set out to do. [click to continue…]

Thoughts on Graduating from Georgia Tech

December 15, 2008

This weekend I graduated (“got out” in GT lingo) from Georgia Tech, bearing the honors distinction no less. I have been looking forward to writing this single blog post for years. Ever since I started my Georgia Tech journey some 4.5 years ago, I knew it was going to be a Sisyphean challenge. I [...]

Back to College Shopping Guide, Off-Campus Edition

September 2, 2008

Around this time last year, I wrote a lengthy post detailing items that incoming college students would need to get settled into their new environment. That article ended up becoming one of the most popular posts I’ve ever published and garnered lots of link love. So when several readers suggested via Skribit that I post [...]

Unwiring for a Week

July 30, 2008

For the next week, I will be completely unwired as I embark on a camping trip with several friends (an electrical engineering student and three pre-law students) in the Middle of No Where, Texas (about 2-3 hours from Austin). According to AT&T’s coverage map, I won’t have much of a cell signal and paired with [...]

When in Rome..

July 10, 2008

As a reminder, I am in Rome for a while attending and speaking at the TTI/Vanguard “Generation Techs” conference so there won’t be any typical PSTAM posts until I return early next week. I have been hanging out with Josh Spear and we’re wondering if you know of any interesting things to do in Rome. [...]

Turning 22 Years Old

June 30, 2008

Today I turn 22 years old. In the last year I have done a lot of things I’m happy about but I won’t dwell on them here. I’m looking to the future and especially this upcoming year. I only have 5 classes left at Georgia Tech until I receive my degree and I have already [...]

WALL•E

June 27, 2008

I just got back from the midnight showing of Disney/Pixar’s latest flick, Wall•E. I’m here to recommend that you see it at your earliest convenience. I am no movie critic but I can easily tell you it was great and not more than a few minutes passed between theater-wide laughter (Rotten Tomatoes rates it at [...]

On Getting Robbed

May 28, 2008

Those of you following my Twitter account will know that my house was robbed early in the morning on Memorial day. Nothing of mine was actually taken but the three guys that broke in assaulted my roommate and stole his MacBook among other things. Read his blog post for the full story.
