We’ve got a contest going over at Twilio for the best Halloween inspired app, so I thought it would be fun to build my own (although I’m not eligible to win the contest – darn it!) If you call (206) 701-6291 you’ll be connected to my Halloween hotline, which is Continue Reading

Building the Trick-or-Treat Hotline with Twilio
OMFG a Blog Post from Danielle!
I have been working a ton and loving it, Kevin is now here and we had our 2 year wedding anniversary yesterday. It was very low key because i had meeting until 8pm but we did walk a couple blocks to Chez Papa and when you have a good and Continue Reading
Is Google Wave the End of Email?
Just had an interesting exchange on Google Wave tonight, which makes me wonder what the future is for email: We built some cool stuff on Google Wave at Twilio:
Brian M. Westbrook – In Flight Safety
My friend Brian is probably one of the funniest people I know, both on camera and off. In this video, he does an excellent job of showing us how to practice in flight safety on Alaska Airlines. Make sure to watch through the 2 minute mark, and see his excellent Continue Reading
From the Vault: “Inflatable Bling” Pitch at SocialMediaCamp 2009
I was doing some “research” – actually I was surfing YouTube and got the genius idea of seeing if any of the half-baked games (this thing where you come up with crazy product pitch ideas and try to get people to vote on yours) were on video. Imagine my surprise, Continue Reading

Just tried out Sprout Builder – look what i made!
Going Mobile – China
Although I see out-dated phone booths along the road every 250 feet or so here in Beijing, I’ve yet to see someone use one this week. The world here is mobile. Even on the subway and elevators, the cellular signal never dies. Even without 3G, Chinese take advantage of text Continue Reading
Gnomedex: Really Amazing Speakers and Engaged Crowd
So far, this conference has been great. I’ve met a really diverse crowd of people (and not just geeks either) and I’m pretty blown away by the level of really human connection. The audience has remained engaged, and the enthusiastic and passionate speakers are a great mix. How can you Continue Reading
Rafe: My Partner in Crime
Meet my son, a sweet and slightly neurotic 5 month old chocolate lab. He’s my companion whenever I’m in the downstairs of our house writing, reading, cooking, cleaning, and whatever else I do around here when I’m actually home (which hasn’t been that often lately). In this picture he’s just Continue Reading
