Tales of an Ex-Googler

Update

Posted in lifestyle by jeansworld on July 10, 2010

Things have been pretty busy around here, with both of us simultaneously settling into our apartment, trying to get on a good work schedule, planning our wedding and wedding party, and launching the projects we’ve been working on.

As a shameless plug for Tyler’s new iPad app, it’s called CALCZOR and it’s an iPad scientific calculator.  Some of the popular calculator apps out there are surprisingly lacking in functionality.  Order of operations seems to not be a given in the world of calculator apps, for example.  I couldn’t believe it either…  And apparently something that is “necessary” is a % button.  What does said button do?  Well, I guess you can do things like 50 + 20% and that gives you 50 plus 20% of 50 = 60.  Really though…that’s just silly.  Regardless, it’s what the people want, I suppose.

If you have an iPad, check it out! It has super nice graphics and pretty logging ability that renders those confusing M* buttons obsolete.  I never knew how to use them anyways…Here’s a screenshot:

In dress world, things are going well.  Who knew I would end up spending significant hours each day staring at overpriced wedding dresses, trying to figuring out if it’s an empire silhouette or an a-line silhouette?

You can now access the site OMGDresses at http://omgdresses.com! Yay!  I’ve been spending a lot of time  making some modifications to the site so that I can get more content on it.  It’s honestly sometimes discouraging to see an idea that I know is a good idea not immediately take off.  But I know it’s a long process of getting content, users, improving the UI, etc.  Speaking of which, I’m looking to work with  a UI/UX designer.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A friend of mine from high school who writes this wedding blog has been immensely useful in providing feedback and she suggested that I too start writing a wedding blog to network and get some publicity! Oh dear….how did I, someone who didn’t even want a “traditional” wedding, end up looking at wedding dresses all day and writing a wedding blog.  Oh dear indeed. =)
