A Bizarro Year

Jose Lema — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Over the past couple months, things have been changing... It started with Christmas and a Wii for the boys. While I still play the 360, I'm hooked on Wii Sports...especially bowling. Soon after the holidays, I found myself on the other side of the...(read more)

Graffiti Marketplace Walkthru

José Lema — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:30:00 GMT

Tonight I figured I'd give a brief walkthru of how to use both the Graffiti Marketplace website and the integration of the marketplace into the Graffiti Control Panel. In order to see the details, I chose not to shrink the 1024x768 video within the...(read more)

Now that we're ready to push Graffiti v1.0 out the door, I've finally put up a new site here at http://joselema.com/ . While I still haven't migrating my existing blog over from http://tankete.com , I expect that will happen shortly. That...(read more)

Hush Yo Mouth (Zune Revisited)

José Lema — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:45:00 GMT

While I have been looking forward to the latest upgrade to the Zune 2.0 software, I didn't get a chance to download it until today. After reading Joe's review (and Jim's rebuttal, see the comments) I figured I'd make my own conclusions...(read more)

Can you believe it?

José Lema — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:45:00 GMT

This past week, I took a couple days off (plus the weekend) to attend the Fall Men's Conference with some guys from my church up at Hume Lake . I took quite a few pictures and had a great time and will blog about that soon. But if you follow me on...(read more)

Blue Thunder: Season Ends

José Lema — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 03:55:00 GMT

Another season of soccer has ended, and Noah and I are already missing Monday/Wednesday night practices. Since I wasn't going to be able to attend the final game (I was presenting at the Community Server Developer's Conference ), we managed to...(read more)

The Best Developer Conference

José Lema — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 03:45:00 GMT

Of course I may be biased, but our first Community Server Developer's Conference was a huge success! Folks from around the world (at *least* four continents) came out to Texas (on a weekend) to hear more about where we are at and where we are headed...(read more)

The "Puffer" at DFW

José Lema — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 23:02:11 GMT

So today was my lucky turn to go into the "puffer" at the security checkpoint. For whatever reason...I was selected and got to stand in a phone booth sized enclosure while pounded by six puffs of air. When I asked what is was, the agent told...(read more)

What's on your phone?

José Lema — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:58:00 GMT

So Jason tagged Scott and suddenly I need to spill my guts...is that it? Since I'm the proud owner of an iPhone, I was going to answer that I've got The Princess Bride, a couple episodes of Seinfeld, some audiobooks, some music, pictures of the...(read more)

Gaming, Donkey Kong, and XBLA

José Lema — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 02:35:00 GMT

Recently, someone pointed me to this video on YouTube and it got me thinking about my gaming history... In my early years, I was never a big arcade game player. My parents just didn't believe it was a worthwhile way to spend my time. (Sadly, we had...(read more)

MySpace and Community Server

José Lema — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 20:25:00 GMT

A couple months ago, I "bumped into" an old friend on Facebook . After chatting about our families, where we're at, and what we do, he said something like, "As a designer for Fox Sports, I share the building with another group here...(read more)

Almost a Nightmare

José Lema — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 05:55:00 GMT

While on the topic of Apple gadgets, I had a pretty big scare just last night. Just before dinner I was watching a Seinfeld episode on my iPhone. And so when Linda called, I set it down, assuming all would be well. But after dinner, when we I went back...(read more)
