Lessons I’ve learned from running a startup
• April 7, 2011 • Family Life, Projects, Work and Business • No comments
In July 2006, I co-founded a startup along with three of the smartest guys I’ve ever met. Four and a half years later, the company has just recently launched something that I’d consider pre-alpha. Although I’m no longer with the company, I truly wish the remaining team the absolute best. We had some groundbreaking and [...]
Searching through the AWS SDK for PHP documentation
• February 27, 2011 • Projects, Tutorials • 1 comments
Although the AWS SDK for PHP is growing as fast as Amazon’s breadth of web services, it should still be easy to find the information that you need in order to develop. This is a goal that I take very seriously. Back in 2005, I took a job with Stryker Endoscopy as a member of [...]
CloudFusion has become the official AWS SDK for PHP!
• September 28, 2010 • Projects • No comments
It’s always been a dream of mine to get paid to work on something I love. I spent more than 5 years working on SimplePie, and although it gained hundreds of thousands of users all over the world, it never gave anything back to me. It was a labor of love, and I did it [...]

Today we announce an updated Tarzan pre-release build for any developers not using the subversion trunk. A lot of work has gone into Tarzan over the past 2 months since the last release, namely: Added the ability to change the content-type of an existing object in S3. Fixed some minor bugs in SimpleDB and S3. [...]
Tarzan 2
• October 2, 2008 • Projects • 1 comments
If you’ve been following my blog over the past few years, you might remember an old project I was working on back in early 2005 called Tarzan. At the time, the only Amazon web service was their e-catalog (e-commerce) service, and that was was Tarzan specialized in. I ended up scrapping the project around the [...]
