So I've got some cool stuff coming out soon. Will say much more soon, but for now just be advised they involve the App Store, and the iPhone. Woot. - Jake Marsh

Twitter has been getting quite a bit of press lately. It's being heralded as one of the coolest, newest, hippest ways for people to communicate and keep track of their friend's lives and activities. But where did this idea come from? Did the guys who started that "pet project" at ODEO just wake up one [...] - Jake Marsh

Over the years, Science fiction, be it on television, in books or films has given us an array of amazing ideas for gadgets, gizmos and technology. Some of these have come to fruition, such as satellites, microwave ovens and whatever Kirstie Alley used to lose all that weight. However there's a number of (sadly still [...] - Jake Marsh

When it comes to programming techniques, screen-scraping can be a complicated and annoying thing to deal with. I’ve dealt with it quite a bit in various projects, most recently my TV Library plugin for boxee. I use PHP to accomplish most of my screen scraping and its got a pretty great arsenal. However, if ease [...] - Jake Marsh

Where this a will, there’s a way: So with the recent news and events about Hulu content being taken off of Boxee because Hulu’s content partners can’t get their heads out of their butts and realize we don’t live in 1993 anymore, I’ve decided to release an ALPHA, repeat, ALPHA version of a plugin/feed for Boxee [...] - Jake Marsh

So tonight was the best night ever, I was hanging out with some of my best friends ever, they play in this band called “THE HIT” (http://myspace.com/thehitrock) and we got a sudden inclination to go to the tattoo shop. Then, epicness ensued. Here’s the result. Then my buddy @colinstevic got my logo tattooed on his leg. The ULTIMATE [...] - Jake Marsh

This show ruled. You wish you had been there. Props to all my buds who were involved. Good job dudes. - Jake Marsh

I’ve been working on a TON of iPhone applications and games lately. And as of this past Tuesday night, the very first of these got released on to the iTunes App Store. It’s called “Triple Play Poker.”     Here’s the obligatory game description and hype machine copy that explains what the game is all about: “With Triple [...] - Jake Marsh

"I'd love to make one, that'd be awesome, but since all their vids are in flash and because of the ad system, there would need to be some serious hackery and most likely a go-between server to make that work. So without some serious hacking or negotiations with NBC and Hulu themselves, I don't think that one would be too easy to pull off." - Jake Marsh

Today, I’m announcing that I’m working on a native iPhone application that will allow people to watch all of Revision3’s content on the go. The goal is to have it be the quintessential be-all-end-all Rev3 content app. Many others have tried and come up short. I also want to make it very [...] - Jake Marsh

Its been over 25 years since MTV launched onto television airwaves and changed the landscape of music forever. Some (most actually) would argue that recently there’s been somewhat of a decline of actual “Music Videos” being played on the station and its sister networks. Well all those nay-sayers can say no more because MTV has [...] - Jake Marsh

If you’ve never heard of Mount Weather, congratulations, you’re part of 99.9% of Americans who haven’t. Either because of the successes of those who would like to keep its secrecy intact or the failures of others to expose it, you’ve been left in the dark. To shed some light on the truth, please read on. [...] - Jake Marsh

I made the following chart to show the exact, and unbiased taxation changes proposed by both political candidates and parties. I won’t skew your opinions by saying anymore, but please give the chart a look and let me know what you think. - Jake Marsh

"TileStack is two things: 1) It is a web-based environment for creating interactive content. It is designed in such a way that it is useful and to the average computer user. The interactive content can be anything from a game to a slide show, to a database. 2) It is a collection of interactive content that can be viewed, modified, and embedded on a personal blog, website, or profile page." - Jake Marsh

"This contest is worldwide, anyone in any of the countries that the iPhone will soon be sold is eligible!" - Jake Marsh

"working on it :)" - Jake Marsh

"please watch this video: http://www.viddler.com/explore... I clearly state that I know I'm using Facebook's UI as a tool to design the features of my application and that their code and interface will absolutely NOT be in the final version of my application for legal and obvious reason. Before you go calling someone out, you should probably do your homework first. Thank you. p.s. thanks or posting that URL, thanks to you I had to re-write a ton of security code." - Jake Marsh

"WHOOOOOA. Ok everybody. (App developer here) - First off, thanks for all the kind words. Second, I KNOW I'm stealing facebook's code and if you watch the first video demo of this app, located here: http://www.viddler.com/explore... - you'll see that I clearly say "If anyone has any GUI or design help they'd like to offer that'd be great, because I CAN NOT release this app like this, I'd get sued in a heartbeat." So please stop with all the "big deal, so what? he just stole their code" nonsense. Truth is this app is a lot of work to write. Far more than anyone here probably realizes. And whether or not your hate myspace or think its for 12 year olds or not doesn't matter. Business wise MySpace has the largest user base and therefore makes sense to write an app targeting it." - Jake Marsh

"thanks :)" - Jake Marsh

"Uhmm actually it is clearly mentioned in the video numerous times. You FAIL." - Jake Marsh

"You're right in the fact that any app that uses screen scraping definitely needs a lot of upkeep. But with MySpace there really is no other way, and I'm sick and tired of having to deal with most of my social networking friends on a site that just plain sucks. So this is my shot at trying to make it better. Wish me luck!" - Jake Marsh

"Wow. You're an intelligent one aren't you, how's your job answering tech-support calls for "no-name-douchebag-hometown-pc-repair-shop"?" - Jake Marsh

"a lot of people use a lot of different social networking apps. and a lot of people are forced into using primative tools like myspace because all of their friends use it. If more of my friends were on facebook, that'd be great, but they're not, so its back to myspace. having an intuitive interface for something as primitive as myspace should be welcomed not flamed." - Jake Marsh
