Our work with Total Immersion on the Go Hamster Go! Facebook application has been named the #1 augmented reality application by Revolution Maggazine because it represents "a fantastic example of how the technology is being integrated within the media environment." If you haven't suction-cupped a few hamsters to your face yet, we highly recommend it.
Meanwhile, NeighborGoods is rapidly approaching a public beta, and they've launched a cool partnership with Los Angeles Metblogs. Readers of LA Meblogs can join the site and immediately be introduced to othe readers of the blog using the cool new group invite system that we built. If you live in LA, check it out now so you can tell your friends you were a member before the site went public.
New features at SMITHTeens.com
To coincide with the Sept 1 launch of SMITH Magazine's newest book, I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure, XOXCO designed and built several new community features for the SMITHTeens site. We launched a brand new forum for the talkative teen memoirists, improved profiles, a smoother user experience for posting memoirs and comments, and an activity tracker that, for the first time in the site's history, gives it's members a way to see who is talking about their memoirs.
In the weeks ahead, we'll be expanding some of these features to include even more ways for the teens to connect with their friends and collaborate on creative projects. And, we'll be bringing some of this magic to the main SMITH site so that adult memoirists can also benefit!
XOXCO's Busy Summer
We have been having an extra busy summer here at XOXCO. Check out some of the nifty stuff we've launched in the last few weeks:
We worked with Total Immersion to create the Go Hamster Go! game to promote the KIA Soul. The game uses augmented reality head tracking software so that you can control the game with your face. We built the Facebook application portion of the game.
NeighborGoods, a platform for community-based lending and renting, has just gone into alpha! Our project with Micki Krimmel, NeighborGoods hopes to make it easier for you to save money by borrowing stuff from your friends instead of buying new stuff. NeighborGoods is built on our PeoplePods framework, and we worked with designer Mari Sheibley to implement Micki's vision.
Speaking of PeoplePods, we've been working with designer Mark Bult to get PeoplePods launched. As soon as we're doing building the new site, the community building framework will (finally) be available to developers.
Finally, we launched a new blog a few weeks ago called Must Share Hair - a place for real people with real hair to share their hair awesomeness with the world. The submissions of great hair have been pouring in, and The Wall Street Journal covered our launch. The blog has already clawed its way up the Tumblr popularity scale, where we are currently the third most popular blog about hair.
Coming Soon: Neighborgoods
XOXCO has been working with Micki Krimmel over the past few months on a really cool project, and we are now getting tantilizingly close to letting you play with it.
NeighborGoods is a tool that will make it easier for you to share your stuff with your friends and neighbors, and to save money by borrowing or renting stuff that you'd otherwise have to buy and then store in your closet. We can't wait to loan you our awesome (but hard to store) collapsible 16-foot ladder!
Sign up to be one of the first people to use Neighborgoods, and follow us on Twitter for tantalizing tidbits of info that Micki will be releasing over the next few months.
Just Launched: Six-Word Memoirs for AARP
We just helped our pals at SMITH Magazine to launch a new branch of their ever expanding network of personal storytelling sites. The newest addition is a print and online collaboration between SMITH and AARP Magazine, collecting six-word memoirs from seniors about life, death, and most importantly, food.
We're always happy to work with the folks at SMITH. They were doing the wordcount thing way before Twitter made it hip.
Oh great! Another super cool pixel programming framework just launched. There goes my weekend.
Flixel is a set of ActionScript classes that make creating games a lot easier. I just poked through the code for the sample game, and it looks brilliantly simple. I am very, very excited to play with this code.
Check out the code for doing collision detection between all the objects in your game! 4 lines!
//collisions with environment FlxBlock.collideArrays(_blocks,_bullets); FlxBlock.collideArrays(_blocks,_botBullets); FlxBlock.collideArrays(_blocks,_bots); FlxBlock.collideArray(_blocks,_player);
(Don't miss Gravity Hook and Fathom, also built using Flixel)
UPDATE: I spent some time hacking on the demo code and was able to create this: a version where you can draw the map with your mouse as you play. NEAT!
Staying Simple While Adding Features
Over Memorial Day weekend, I finally got a chance to work a little bit on the next version of do.Oh, our super simple todo list application. do.Oh quietly launched in 2006, and has been running virtually without update since then.
The tagline of do.Oh is "Now with fewer features." Our initial idea was to create a todo list that did not have the clutter of modern "task management systems" that cause you to spend more time managing tasks than actually doing things. No tags, no due dates, no calendaring, no categories, no sub-lists. You put something on your list, then you do it. That's it.
But there are a few key features we want to add! So the task has become designing an interface that allows these new (and awesome) features to live alongside the extremely simple list interface without distracting you from the tasks at hand.
Right now, we're experimenting with simple keyboard shortcuts that open up implicit information spaces that otherwise hide behind an ellipses or small button. The key is to leave the list interface mostly undisturbed until you absolutely need one of the more advanced features, at which point they appear magically before you.
Here's a screenshot of the prototype I built last night to test some ideas. The "advanced options" bubble appears around the selected task when you hit the Tab key on your keyboard. While the bubble is open, several other keyboard shortcuts become available.
Pixel Programming with Axonome
Michael Buffington has created a Javascript library for creating dynamic isometric pixel grids, complete with the ability to navigate an player avatar around the grid. My brain is currently exploding with ideas for using this in games and art and user interface design. It might even find its way into PixlPinchr.
WolframAlpha Search Plugin
When I saw WolframAlpha, I knew I was going to have a lot of questions I wanted to ask it. So I made a Firefox search plugin. It looks like this:
Hey Lifehackers! Check out the other things XOXCO makes like a way to get random reruns from Hulu or a Twitter bot that tracks the DJIA. And snag our feed to get Fresh Clickables in your inbox.
Shifting Pixels
Tonight, I played with adding some features to PixlPinchr. The image above is the result. Too much fun, not enough hacking.
Zip Code Proximity Bounding Box Function
This afternoon, I am working on a project that involves zip code proximity. To find zip codes that are near to other zip codes, you need to create a geographic bounding box to search within. Creating this bounding box (really, just drawing a virtual square around your point and finding it's corners) involves a bunch of semi-scary trigonometry the likes of which I have not seen since college. I searched the internet far and wide for a pre-existing function that does this, but most of the examples I found were wrong and/or confusing. So, like the good little hacker I am, I created my own.
include 'getBoundingBox.php';
// find zipcodes within 100 miles of 78704
$lat = 30.240685;
$long = -97.768829;
list($lat1,$lat2,$lon1,$lon2) = getBoundingBox($lat,$long,100);
// now we can query our database and do easy number comparisons...
// ...instead of scary math!
$sql = "SELECT * FROM zipcodes WHERE latitude between $lat1 and $lat2 AND longitude between $lon1 and $lon2";
It should be noted that due to the curvature of the planet and vagaries of floating point arithmetic that this may not be 100% accurate. I encourage you to do what I'm doing - post process the results and do real distance calculations on each one to verify and refine the selection.
This code was made possible by the formulas on this handy page, and my math savvy pal Robert Swirsky.
I know it has only been a day since we asked you to get excited about Random Reruns, but with the new Star Trek movie on the horizon and The Iconfactory making us crazy with all of their awesome Star Trek icons, I couldn't resist jumping on the bandwagon. After all, not a day goes by when I don't spend a little time with Kirk, Spock and Bones. Usually in bed.
Random Reruns + Star Trek = RandomTrek
Every time you click on it, RandomTrek will give you a random episode of classic Star Trek from CBS.com.
And while you are instantly loading random episodes of this historic show, ponder the fact that it's been more than 40 years since these episodes originally aired on olde tyme broadcast tv.
Random Reruns
We don't do TV at the XOXCO HQ. After years of paying exhorbitant fees for cable, we've gone 100% internet for our viewing needs with a Mac Mini attached to our TV in the living room. This is all made possible by the folks at Hulu who offer a ton of our favorite shows, new and old, on demand, in full screen, for free.
But making the leap from normal TV to internet TV means you lose the ability to just turn it on. In order to watch something on Hulu, even in the background, I have to search, sort, browse and select through thousands of choices. Do I want to watch a new episode of 30 Rock? Or maybe an old episode of He-man? It takes way too much thinking!
That's why I created Random Reruns. I wanted a way to channel surf through my favorite shows on Hulu. Using the magic of personalized feeds and embed codes, Random Reruns will pick random episodes from your Hulu favorites and let you stay on the couch where you belong.
Stephen Elliot on How to Launch a Content Website
Earlier this year, we helped Stephen launch his awesome magazine, The Rumpus. In an interview with the LA Times book blog Jacket Copy, Stephen talks about the aggressive way we got started.
If I were giving a seminar on how to start a website, which would be ridiculous, I would talk about the importance of launching a site this way. We were gathering content as we worked out our design. Because of that the content pushed the design, not the other way around. The Rumpus is a content-driven magazine. We will never have more people working on technology or design than we will writers and editors.
Anyway, the worst thing you could do, I now realize, would be to launch a site without content. You would have to completely redesign it, which would have been out of our budget.
It was actually Ben Brown's idea. He's at XOXCO and is responsible for the design and back end of the site and he's kind of a genius. He was the one who told me to start gathering content right away rather than waiting for the site to launch.
Stephen is right. We absolutely believe that the best way to launch a website - any website - is to start posting content online, even if the "final" design and functionality is weeks away. Like any activity, it takes a while to build up the muscle memory of actually doing before you can get good at something. The "beta" period we had with The Rumpus allowed the magazine to gather an early audience while it was still learning how to be a magazine, and we were able to "launch" with a site filled to the brim with good stuff to read.

PeoplePods Preview
Are you ready to add social networking functionality to your existing site, or create an awesome new community site from scratch? You better get ready, because PeoplePods is almost here!
We are in the final stages of preparing the first release of PeoplePods, a software package that will let anyone create cool social/community websites almost as easily as we do. In giddy anticipation of this release, we're showing off some screenshots of the product - a sneak preview of the community building tools, the backend administrative toolkit that'll help you manage your community on a day to day basis, and even a shot of the installer that'll get PeoplePods up and running in just a few minutes.
Check out PeoplePods Sneak Preview on Flickr.
PeoplePods will allow visitors to become members of your site, create personal profiles, post content of virtually any description, find and follow their friends, create and join groups, search, filter and subscribe to content, and do all of the magical little things members of sites need to do these days - and all of this stuff works right out of the box! In addition to a bunch of pre-built modules and templates, PeoplePods includes and is built upon a flexible and easy to use software library that we're sure developers are going to enjoy. We've built dozens of community sites and social apps over the years using a variety of platforms, and PeoplePods represents the collected lessons from all of those experiences.
We've been working on the 'Pods for close to 2 years now, and the fact that we're now able to share screenshots of the installation process is a little bit mind blowing. We're also really excited to move past the initial release of the software so that we can get to work on a few PeoplePods-powered sites of our own!
Want to be the first to know when PeoplePods is available? Follow PeoplePods on Twitter or bookmark the PeoplePods homepage!
Pixel Power
We here at XOXCO believe that, like the atom is to the analog world, the pixel is the fundamental building block of all things digital. Pixels are a pure representation of their own simple value, yet when combined, they create all the wonders of the modern world. And if you can create pixels, you can create reality.
One of our main areas of interest in the low-rez world of pixels is pixel art. The incredible constraints put on these artists force them to evaluate and reevaluate their representation of every day objects so that they can be fit into the grid world of pixels. For example, how does one draw a recognizable human hand in a 3x3 space with only 9 colored squares? It requires elements of impressionism, pointillism, and cross-eyed brain trickery. These kind of tiny, intimate details are everywhere, but they go mostly unnoticed by the audience because today's screen resolution causes them to appear on the screen at a fraction of an inch.
One of the projects we're working on is a browser-based pixel drawing tool, code named PixlPinchr. Though we still have a lot of work to do before releasing it as a product, we've been leaking out development versions to our network of secret XOXCO agents. One of these lucky few is a dude named Arlo Robbins. I gave Arlo an early copy of the iPhone version, and he has been busy ever since cranking out awesome pixel drawings.
Among the many drawings Arlo has pecked out in PixlPinchr is this skull and crossbones. Arlo's awesome mom, Jen Robbins recognized Arlo's lo-rez genius and put his pixel art on teeshirts. These shirts offer definitive proof of the age old internet meme that pixels make you look cool. (See also: Jason in Arlowear, Ben in Arlowear)
Arlo's art and these teeshirts are extra cool for us because they were built with pre-release, experimental code. I had an idea, I executed it, and almost immediately, cool people are doing cool things with it. This is pixel power! This is why we love to make stuff. I can't wait to see what happens when we actually finish and release PixlPinchr for public consumption!
Until then, I look forward to more super low-rez creations from Arlo. He is so busy creating pixel drawings that when I accidently moved the site to a new location and his bookmark broke for a few days, he and his dad, Jeff Robbins sent me a SINGING VIDEO BUG REPORT! Note to all current and future clients: if you want the quickest possible response, file your complaint in this format!
Buy some Arlowear of your own, or browse some pixel art on Flickr.
Clickable: Ups and Downs
For a reason I don't fully understand, I get a kick out of watching the stock market spluttering around like a balloon that has come untied. I have no idea how this is directly affecting me - I swore off that tab in Mint long ago - so I am excited by both the ups, and the downs. All I know is, I want to be watching when The Great Depression II starts!
To make my sick little obsession easier, I skipped some SXSW morning panels to hack on Ups and Downs, a Twitter bot that will tell you how the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been doing. The bot tweets every 30 minutes while the market is open in New York. Follow Ups and Downs on Twitter and bear witness to the ECONOCALYPSE!
Clickable: Click to Swim!
Dakota and I are always kicking around silly ideas for videogames. I hadn't worked on a game since the mid-Nineties when everything I did was written in Turbo Pascal for DOS. But when Dakota and I thought up the concept for Click to Swim, I knew I had to make it real.
It took me about three days of work to hack out the first version, mostly spent drawing 50 versions of a little naked guy treading water. It was a lot of fun, and I felt like I was learning a lot about how Flash 9.0 works. The game went through a few revisions as Dakota and I played it and sent it around to our friends. We even tested out a multiplayer mode. I probably swam for about 20 hours while on conference calls.
The final version, to the right, represents about 6 furious hours of refactoring and redrawing (and a restore-from-backup) that I did a few weeks ago. To commemorate the glorious launch of this new section of our website, I think its time for this to become the very first "XOXCO Clickable!" I am now attaching the official seal of "It works, ship it!"
All of the work we did, including all the previous versions (and a few wallpapers) are available on Swim's permanent page: CLICK TO SWIM
Yes, we will be at SXSW.
This will be our 9th year at SXSW, and my 7th year as a speaker. This year, I will be appearing alongside Andy Baio, Michael Sippey, Jane Mount and Lane Becker on a panel titled "What Do I Do With Myself, Now that the Economy Has Collapsed?" Be warned: I plan on talking about my worm farm.
Update: Listen to me talk about our panel on Austin's own KUT radio! Or, watch me in this 5-minute interview with SXTXState.com where I talk a little bit more about what XOXCO is trying to do.

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at Majestic View. We have now stayed in 2 different rooms, each with private bathrooms, and they are both unusually spacious and comfortable for a B&B; both with great views of Homer, water and mountains. Maria herself is personable and a delight, with great knowledge of the area. It is definitely worth the ride up from town for the view and spacious accommodations. We saw several moose in the area of the B&B, a bonus for us. Maria's husband had just caught a number of salmon around the Homer Spit, which he smoked at the B&B. I believe these were intended for the family, not the B&B guests. Perhaps he noticed us longingly looking at them out on the kitchen counter because he offered us a taste at breakfast. Sooo good! Breakfast would have been outstanding even without the salmon. After a huge serving of pancakes, Maria asked us how we wanted our eggs cooked. To say that the full cooked breakfast was delicious and plentiful would be an understatement. My wife and I have stayed at many B&B's across North America, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island and throughout the U.S. Maria's Majestic View has it all.

A well run local B&B that has a family feel. Breakfast can be a little hectic and crowded but it was a quality stay.

We booked the last available room - the Cottonwood room. Unfortunately for us, it had no view (there is a gorgeous view from the back of the house!/back porch where they have a fire in the firepit in the evenings - we were always gone, so did not get the opportunity to enjoy) The room was very warm - only one small window opened and there was no fan. There were two beds - a single that was VERY uncomfortable and a double. There was an old mattress in open closet..looked like it was very last minute put together. Apparently there are a lot of return visitors that get the premium rooms with the view. Maria was very cordial, but "busy" with her repeat visitors. Breakfasts were good, but too carbohydrate loaded for us.

Wonderful relaxing time and we were made to feel like friends immediately. Great breakfast! Highly recommend this Inn for your vacation in Homer.

Maria was an amazing host and a wonderful cook! The view from our cabin was breathtaking. It was comfy and beautiful. My 9 year old daughter loved roaming around the very pretty grounds. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing on the balcony at night. A wonderful place to be! Patty - San Diego

In our party there were two couples, we used both of the cabins and they exceeded our expectations. The view is "majestic" I see where the name came from. If I am ever in Homer again, I will be back.

With a beautiful view and a fantastic breakfast, this was a great stop on an already awesome trip. Really glad that we stayed here.

Outstanding views, breakfasts were amazing (I bought the cookbook!), and Maria is a joy to know. Our room was large and overlooked the bay so it was hard to get out of bed -- it was like having a room on a scenic outlook point!

Had an incredible stay at Majestic View B&B!! Made late reservations and Maria went out of her way to welcome us and make us feel very comfortable! We really enjoyed our room and the view was over the top. It was worth the stop just to discover her Alaska pan cake ..... you have to try it! Thank you Maria!!

Majestic View B& B is a must stay when planning a trip to Homer. The hospitality of our host Maria was awesome, as is the breakfast. The B & B is very clean and comfortable. The views of the mountains and Homer Split are also awesome. Don't pass this place by. We will return. Betty from Pa.

Thank you Maria for a wonderful stay. Your home is beautiful! Your homemade breakfasts are fabulous. We especially loved the stuffed french toast.
3,2 sur octobre 25, 2013
If you decide to stay here, make sure in advance that Maria will actually be present and that you will actually receive the fantastic breakfast that was promised. In our case, Maria was absent and we received neither the wonderful breakfast or the hospitality. They were the primary reasons we booked here instead of a place closer to town. We arrived just before dark and the young women that was substituting for Maria pointed us toward the upstairs Rose Room. While we were in our room, the young women disappeared and we didn't see her again until the next morning. She reappeared by morning and fixed us a breakfast, but it was basic and adequate at best. It certainly was not up to our expectations. The room was fine, and the view is ok. But we felt cheated that we were charged the normal rate and we certainly did not receive what was advertized. I suspect this is a wonderful place when Maria is present, but when she's absent, it's not. I can assure you that had we been told in advance that Maria would not be present and we would not receive the normal hospitality or breakfast, we would have gone somewhere else.

We ended up here because of a recommendation from another B&B that was full. Excellent recommendation! Very friendly, very comfortable, very relaxed, and an incredible view over the water from the sitting room. A bit of a climb out of town (by car), but very much worth it. Breakfast was help yourself out of the fridge, which was fine.

My husband and I just spent 6 nights at the Majestic View and it felt like home at the end of each day. Maria was out of town while we were there which was too bad, but the rest of the ladies were nice and took great care of us. We saw a moose and her calf in the yard on day 5 and each day brought an amazingly different view of the bay. It was beautiful! The room was comfortable - we were in the Rose Room. I would definitely recommend this B&B! Thanks Maria for sharing your home. Janine & Dave, Arvada, CO

We stayed three nights in the Rose room. The B&B is on a hillside overlooking Homer Spit and Katchemak Bay. The Rose room is on the second floor providing a truly majestic and unimpeded view of the mountains and glaciers across the bay. The breakfasts were among the best we had during our 12 day trip to Alaska. The owner, Maria, was helpful in suggesting places to eat and things to do. We had a wonderful time and had no complaints.

Staying at The Majestic was a wonderdul experience. Our hostess and her staff were gracious, helping us to schedule our days in Homer. Her home was warm and inviting, a place you could kick off your shoes and fall asleep in the comfortable chairs. The view is breath-taking, allowing us a window into close-up nature shots of moose, eagles and the most beautiful wildflowers I have ever seen. We felt like family and it was better than being home. I can't recommend The Majestic too much. Our beds were comfortable, rooms and private bath very clean. Gathering around the breakfast table each morning with all the other guests was fun and we met some great people. Go to the Majestic, kick off your shoes and enjoy the food. You'll feel sad to leave.

We can't say enough good things about The Majestic View B & B! The view of the Homer Spit was absolutely awesome, the rooms were great, the food was first rate, and the owners a d help were very friendly and opened up their home to us. Homer was the friendliest, most fun place we ever visited, and the views of the town and from the spit were incredible! Thank you, Majestic and Homer!

My wife and I spend two nights at the Majestic. The view was everything it was supposed to be and the Majestic Team just as awesome. Each member of the team was truly interested in our having the best experience possible. The food was outstanding (you will never go hungry at the Majestic) and the Alaska Pancake a real treat. If you are a dog lover, Blue and Brody will enhance your time as they are wonderful hosts. Staying at the Majestic was like staying with friends, even though we only just met exactly what the B&B experience is all about.

My wife and I spent two lovely nights with the Majestic View Team. The property is as advertised, with views of Homer that are simply magical. Our room (the Blueberry) allowed us to wake every morning to one of the most spectacular sights that one could imagine. Breakfast each day was fantastic, home cooked, and filling. The Majestic staff went out of their way to insure that we were comfortable and entertained. We spent one beautiful evening watching a Moose graze the back yard and then eventually lay down and watch the endless sunset. Finally, if you are a dog lover as we are, Blue and Brody, are a delight. All in all, the Majestic felt like we were visiting with friends which, for us, enhanced our visit to Homer.

Majestic View is what a B&B is suppose to be. The room was great with an outstanding view of the bay. Maria's breakfasts were the best. We will stay again the next time we are in Homer.

The B&B was up on a hill with a great view of the spit. The curb appeal wasn't as nice as the rear view shown in the picture, but the interior was very nice. There was a hot tub, but we weren't informed about it or its use. There was a dog on the premises that surprised us, but the owner put it out after initial contact. Overall it was a good place to stay.
5 sur juillet 14, 2012
We have stayed here twice now and it is confirmed that everything about this charming B&B is outstanding! Our first experience we stayed in the Cabin and our second experience in the adorable Rose room. Both have truly "majestic views" of the Homer spit from the balcony. The Rose room has a wonderful jacuzzi, just don't overdo it on the bubbles:) Maria and Brie are amazing hostesses that make you feel so welcomed in their relaxing home. Not to mention, the breakfast is out of this world! We enjoyed every second of our stay here. Since our experience here, my Mom and I can't quite find any other B&B that is comparable anywhere else in the state of Alaska!
4,8 sur juillet 13, 2012
The name of the B&B is an understatement from the Rose Room where my wife and I stayed on June 29 & 30, 2012. Many delicious dishes were presented at each breakfast. Maria was so kind to have a great breakfast ready for us at 6:30 AM when our schedule required and early start on our second morning.
5 sur juillet 13, 2012
We had a gorgeous view from the Blueberry Room - even when overcast we could see mountains. Maria cooked the most amazing breakfasts. It was hard to resist sampling all the delicious food!
4,6 sur juillet 13, 2012
Little bit out of the way to get there but otherwise quite friendly'cozy charming. Enthusiastically recommend.
4,6 sur octobre 20, 2011
Unbelievable view! Private and comfortable location. Huge, delicious breakfast. Maria is the BEST. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Homer, we'll stay here again.
5 sur octobre 11, 2011
We enjoyed our stay at Majestic View. The Innkeeper was so kind and accommodating. The view from our deck was absolutely "majestic". We would highly recommend it for anyone staying in the Homer, AK area.
4,2 sur septembre 21, 2011
very very nice B&B..only thing negative is hard to get there...little far from the town of Homer, but it has a beautiful view.
4,8 sur août 09, 2011
This is a beautifully modern house with amazing views, spacious rooms, fantastic breakfasts and a wonderfully informative owner. For a B&B experience it just doesn't get any better.
4,4 sur juillet 20, 2011
High up the hill, Majestic View offers a breathtaking view of Homer and the Katchemak Bay. This B&B offers comfort, cleanliness and quiet, and the breakfast is hearty and delicious. The proprietor, Maria, was welcoming and accommodating. The Rose room offers a King bed and a balcony with an inspiring view of the city below. The only hitch was that the bathroom is open to the bedroom area, so there is little privacy when using the toilet or showering. The cabins have kitchenettes and nice bathrooms and are quite nice as well. We would love to stay at this B&B again.

Maria is a very good "hostess" The only thing that she was not able to assure was ....sunny weather ! Piet Van Riet Belgium.
4,8 sur juin 14, 2011
Dog friendly, accommodating & hospitable. I would definitely stay again. The views can't be beat, and my room in the cabin was more than I had hoped for. Can't wait to go back this winter when I've been invited to teach a skijoring class & stay with the owners again to teach their dog how to skijor.
4,8 sur mai 31, 2011
We are heading back to Homer for the second time in 5yrs because I'm hungry for a great breakfast and wife needs a great view. The only place to satisfy both our needs is Maria's majestic view BB. Carlton & Esther Dykstra Grand Rapids, MI
5 sur août 16, 2010
Maria was very gracious and knowledgable about the area. She never steered us wrong when giving advice on things to do and see in the area. There was plenty of delicious food for breakfast, and the house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The view was magnificent! I would definitely stay again.
5 sur septembre 08, 2009
The name says it all, the view from the top of the hill where the B & B is located can't be beat. We stayed in the Rose Room, looking straight out at the Bay and mountains and glaciers. Lots of space, very nice people.
5 sur septembre 30, 2008
During our two day stay we were treated to fantastic food & panoramic service - A true "2 thumbs up" We will return!!
4,6 sur juillet 25, 2008
Maria was very helpful and friendly. The view from the house was awesome! Maria made great breakfasts! Maria made us feel like family!
4,6 sur juillet 15, 2008
Owner & proprietor Maria has a wonderful inn. View is spectacular, breakfast is all homemade and delicious! She is warm and lovely. Maria couldn't accommodate us for as many nights as we wanted so she found us another great place for the other days. Hooray for the hot tub.
4,2 sur juin 10, 2008
We lodged in a b rand new very clean and well appointed cabin with a kitchenette. The bed was very comfortable. The view of course was majestic.
4,4 sur juin 09, 2008
Maria's Magnificent View B&B made us very happy. Her views over the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay and the snow covered mountains were breathtaking! Her full breakfasts were even better! She's a good woman, a gracious host, a great source of Homer info and a very special human being!
5 sur février 03, 2008
This bed & breakfast definitely sets the expectation of what one should be. Maria was a wonderful host, the food was great, the view of the mountains and spit were outstanding and the Rose Room was elegant. Everything was very neat and very clean. I have already made reservations again for February.
5 sur novembre 27, 2007
Have stayed in B&B's in USA and Europe and this tops them all. Best food, best view, best hospitality. Will defnintely be back.

While the Lumia 1330 is not a flagship device, it is interesting to see where Microsoft is taking their line of phones. This device is pretty 2012 in terms of processing power, but we've seen before that the Windows Mobile OS is pretty efficient and runs like a champ. This certainly won't be the fastest phone on the market but with the Lumia 635 available for ~$50, it is very interesting how these new phones will be priced when powered by older hardware. It could be the rise of the $100 phone and I think that people are getting tired of paying $800 for a new device. It just might work for Microsoft.
The listing also confirms a 5 MP Selfie camera, Adreno 305 GPU, Snapdragon 400 CPU (Quad-core, ARMv7) and a 720p resolution 5.7-inch display. It will have 1 GB RAM and don't get confused by that 0.38 GB RAM shown in screenshot. That indicates available free RAM and if you have used GFXBench app on your Windows Phone you will know it. Click here to see how, Lumia 1020 RAM is shown as 825 MB by GFXBench.

The stripper of "Sin City" started out life as a sickly military brat. Before Jessica Alba won free acting classes in 1992 and was signed by an agent at 12, she'd lived in three states and suffered a collapsed lung twice, pneumonia, a burst appendix, a cyst on her tonsils and asthma. Alba made her feature debut in "Camp Nowhere" in 1993, did commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny and landed a recurring role on Nickelodeon's "The Secret World of Alex Mack." IN 1995, she moved to Australia to star in a remake of "Flipper." Her big break came in 1999 when James Cameron cast her in critically acclaimed sci-fi hit "Dark Angel," for which she adopted an intense training regimen that unfortunately led to anorexia. She also dated and became engaged to her costar Michael Weatherly who was 32 to her 19 at the time. After they broke up in 2003, the "Honey" stunner snuggled up with Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia and Mark Wahlberg, but it was the "Fantastic Four" director's assistant Cash Warren who eventually put a ring on it in May 2008. (They have two daughters, Honor (b. 2008) and Haven (b. 2011). Her killer bod has landed her on hundreds of magazine covers, including a 2006 Playboy she didn't pose for, and sexiest lists, but she'd prefer her legacy be her charity work and The Honest Company, her line of green home and baby products launched in 2012. She wrote a companion guide called "The Honest Life" in 2013, which ranked on the New York Times best-selling list.

I think Gallagher will end up being an nhler, but I don't know how long of a career he'll have. He's way too reckless. It's what I love about him, but I wonder how long he can play that in your face style for. He's essentially the hockey version of a kamikazee.
Holland imo is an nhler. No doubt in my mind that he'd be just fine in a third line role with Eller in the nhl right now. The question is whether or not he's gonna end up a top 6 forward. He has EXCELLENT vision and hockey IQ. I can't stress that enough. He sees the play develop before it happens. He's offensive vision is great at the ahl level right now, but people really under-estimate his defensive awareness. If that 2nd we get turns into an excellent player, then we could really make out like bandits from the Cammalleri deal. One could even argue that the cap space saved on Cammalleri allowed us to sign Prust this off-season.

Mars Enters Pisces: Have an Escape Plan
Emotions are running high -- and Mars' entrance into Pisces yesterday (Monday) invoked even more passionate, extreme and scattered energy. The motivation planet in dreamy Pisces does not mix well. It will bring a new order to things -- one in which feelings, nostalgia, energy and transcendence get the final say. Yes, this may mean needing to plunge into your vices and finding the closest trap door...

Overall, I was very pleased with the experience and would absolutely recommend it to others. I went with a friend, but it's better for couples and families. The hotel was clean, beautiful, and the staff was pleasant. The food could have been more abundant & tasty, but considering it was all-inclusive it was OK. The best meals we had were the breakfast buffet by the pool and dinners at El Bocadillo restaurant. The bars were OK, but the alcohol wasn't top shelf. Definitely try the mango mojito - it's delicious! Also, the empanadas at the bar are AMAZING! Two bartenders, Jose (Ritual bar) and Pablo (swimup pool bar), were especially amicable and helpful. Also, ask for Julio, one of the shuttle drivers on the hotel grounds. He's nice and helpful, and will show you the grounds in more detail if you want.
We saw iguanas, lizards, a humming bird, coatis, cats, blue birds, & many other animals on the hotel grounds. The hotel also has howler monkeys, although we didn't witness them (we did hear them though). The pool area was so nice, and the beach, although small, was really quite tranquil and beautiful with tons of sea life - what a treat!
I highly recommend taking advantage of taking a tour or two with Swiss Travel, which has a representative on the hotel premise, so that you can see the rain forest and more of the country. The hotel itself also offers free activities, such as a bike tour, kayak tour, exfoliation treatment & more.... you should definitely take advantage of some of those!
The only downside are the mosquitos (an't really help that) and that the spa was closed for renovations, so we couldn't experience that :(
One day we did opt to go to Coco Beach for a few hours... you can skip it. It's not ideal for catching rays, although the hills make a nice backdrop. The main street with shops is pretty seedy, although nobody bothers you. Instead, perhaps Hermosa Beach of Panama Beach would be nicer.
Also, just some things to keep in mind in Costa Rica: wear bug repellant, there wasn't a need for us to exchange our currency (most places accept $US), there is a $28 exit fee at the airport, the food at the airport is pretty expensive.
I can't wait to return to Costa Rica!!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Nestled in a bay surrounded by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Papagayo in Guanacaste, our resort is the perfect place to let your worries drift away. The magnificent view of the tranquil waters, the surrounding lush tropical gardens and abundant wildlife will make you experience the true Costa Rican feel.This magical all-inclusive resort also offers:- Convenient location, only 20 minutes from the Liberia International Airport- Large property but with an intimate atmosphere and feel- New all inclusive concept with boutique-style service without the need of bracelets or towel cards and no limit in à la carte dining. - Private beach feel with calm tides year round- Casita-style bungalows perched hillside overlooking the bay. - World-class Spa offering full range of traditional and exotic treatments in a Costa Rican – inspired natural ambiance- Unforgettable setting for Honeymoons and Weddings - Venues which add a local flair to your meetings, incentives and other social gatherings.- Just minutes away from major local attractions, National Parks and beaches ... more less

Immigration reform needs to happen immediately |
Published on Mon, Apr 12, 2010
Immigration reform needs to happen immediately. For too long, too many have lived under fear of deportation, their families being separated, and employers increasing hours while decreasing wages. There have been studies that suggest that an immigration bill will not only help immigrant families and communities, but the country as a whole.

Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act would require GSA to identify baseline competencies for federal building personnel
Federal employees who operate and maintain federal facilities would get extra training to service energy-efficient buildings if a new bipartisan bill introduced April 22 is signed into law.
The Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act of 2010, cosponsored by Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), would require the General Services Administration to identify competencies that federal building personnel should possess and require that they demonstrate them.
Under the measure, GSA would work with private industry and institutions of higher education to create continuing education courses to ensure that employees have the training to maintain green federal buildings.
"You wouldn't give a race car to an inexperienced driver and expect them to win the Indy 500," Carper said. "In the same way, we can't expect our federal buildings to run at peak efficiency if we don't make sure our personnel have adequate training."

Despite delays, the program is at a critical point for determining the ultimate impact of cloud technology in the government space.

How NASA and other agencies are using contests to bring better ideas into acquisition.
ONC will focus more on data interoperability and the use of health IT to improve patient outcomes.
Sadly, it will likely fall to GSA to run this training, but our recent experience with their first LEED-certified lease facility showed very clearly that they are desperately in need of much training themselves. They show no interest in examining their leasing process to find ways to save energy, so any steps to make the base building green have no incentive. Since we've moved in, muliple "green" systems have been modified or suspended due to complaints from those not used to things like lighting controls. Training and better communication seem like a last resort.
This is an excellent idea and long overdue. Let's hope it becomes law.
They should make the IT LAN managers and IA folks attend as well. Despite multiple executive orders and regs saying 'turn PCs off at night' (Duh!), here they persist in telling people to leave them on 24/7, to make scans and pushes easier. 'Wake on LAN', you say? Oh, that is too complicated to maintain.

Mike Shouhed
Last week on Shahs of Sunset, Mike Shouhed decided that he and his friends need a drama-free (but still drunken) weekend in Cabo San Lucas. Sounds lovely.. and bound to go horribly wrong.
First, Asa Soltan Rahmati and Reza Farahan promote themselves to king and queen of the group and act all That '70s Show funky crazy in the car. Asa better put her hands on the wheel of her Mercedes-Benz or she's going to have to demolish her house to afford a new car. #brokepeopleproblems Speaking of Asa's broke ass, she decides that this is the year of the Persian Pop Priestess, vowing to finally make money with her music. Please forgive me if I don't hold my breath.
Mercedes "MJ" Javid organizes a lunch date between Asa and Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi. Before Asa arrives, GG and MJ order drinks and appetizers. GG orders cheese fries, hummus with pita chips, the triple carne asada tacos, and a cocktail. Goodness gracious! Where does she put it all?
Once they're cocktailed up, GG asks MJ why she excluded her – instead of Asa – from her birthday party. MJ is surprised that GG even has to ask, saying, "You were the one who got physically violent with Asa. What about the fact that she doesn't feel physically safe?" GG tells MJ that she respects her decision, promises to get therapy, and hopes the upcoming trip to Cabo allows her the opportunity to mend broken relationships. Foreshadowing….
Want to see what Mike Shouhed has to offer underneath his clothes? Playgirl apparently does! The male centerfold site is offering to feature the handsome (and smarmy) Shahs of Sunset star stripped down. Something tells me Reza Farahan is going to be a jellybean and start feuding with Mike now!
Apparently it was Mike who set the wheels in motion. In a recent interview with GossipDavid, Mike confessed that he'd definitely take it all off. "I am hot as hell! If the opportunity and the money was right, I'd definitely consider Playgirl." He's so humble, isn't he…
Last week on Shahs of Sunset, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi expressed interest in cutting her pregnant sisters face, Mercedes "MJ" Javid accused Lilly Ghalichi of sexual pet endangerment, and Reza Farahan and Mike Shouhed blindsided MJ at the office. A heated exchange ensued. In the end, Reza walked out, saying to MJ, "Mike and I are going to go talk about real estate and you can make some nail appointments."
Last week on Shahs of Sunset, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi and Asa Soltan Rahmati got into yet another explosive fight. The good news: GG's earrings were saved. The bad news: sides were chosen, GG littered, and feelings were hurt.
Hanging at Omid Kalantari's hill-side house, Mike Shouhed, Mercedes "MJ" Javid, and Omid discuss the drama. Mike is like, GG went bananas last night!
MJ shares, "I took GG's side because Asa kept talking about Omid's nose." Mike pulls her aside and says, "Instead of you talking sense into your friend, you decide to take sides." When Mike takes issue with MJ's choice, she's all like, I'm no longer on GG's side because I'm not down with the violence.
Meanwhile, Reza Farahan and Asa are hiking on another hill. Asa tells Reza,"You f-ing missed the most epic shit. You know she attacked me? She starts taking off her earrings, and I'm like, 'What are you going to do with me? I can break you like a f-ing crispy cracker.'" Reza and Asa are both disappointed in MJ for siding with GG.
Reza tells us, "GG is like a pet venomous pet snake. They're pretty, you can feed them, you can take care of then, but eventually that snake will get you."
Back at Omid's house, GG arrives. Omid asks GG if she wants a burger or a dog… she answer beer. Mike shakes his head, saying, "I'm watching GG come into the BBQ and I'm thinking she'll be remorseful, hung over, something.. the first thing she asks for is a beer. This girl doesn't seem sorry at all. This is no joke… she put her hands on someone."
Shahs of Sunset is back, and the ratings, insults, hair and boobs, and fights are bigger than ever. Last week's season two premiere ended with an explosive fight between Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi and Asa Soltan Rahmati.
At the Zoom Room, a social club for L.A.'s richest dogs, GG and Mercedes "MJ" Javid discuss the disastrous dinner party. GG dismisses anything negative or raunchy that MJ has to say about her behavior the night before. GG claims she doesn't remember anything that happened, including her new guy's hand up her skirt at the dinner table, but she remembers every single word Asa said. That's some tricky whiskey. Taking the high road, GG says she should have toasted to Asa's non-lipoed, blubber ass.
Moving on, over dinner, Asa tells her parents that she has moved back into her house because she's broke. Without missing a beat, Asa's mom tells her to get a job. Asa says, "Are you serious right now? I'm a Persian Pop Priestess. That's my job." Mom asks, "What the hell is that?" I'd like to know, too.
Asa laments, "If you're not a lawyer, doctor, or engineer, you're a slave in my parents' eyes." Asa's mom begs Asa to go back to school, to get her PhD. Asa says she has three PhDs – Persian. Pop. Priestess. Needless to say, mom isn't impressed with her credentials.
