To coincide with today’s announcement from Shizzow, I’m now accepting requests for alpha testers for Baken. If you’re interested in trying it out, please e-mail me.
Congratulations to the Shizzow team!

Shizzow for Android update
I’m loving the Shizzow API today. It literally took five minutes to add favorites functionality to the app.
Also, the app is now called Baken. Any ideas why?
Embracing the clean slate
The few of you who actually click through from the feed may have noticed that the site is looking rather bare. While I liked the minimalist look of my old theme, I was starting to feel somewhat limited by the single column. I tried several times to get K2 to look how I wanted. However, I would always become frustrated and revert to my old theme. Tonight I decided to start from scratch and install Sandbox. If I remember correctly, this is the theme that I started with when creating my old theme.
Removing something that’s been in your life for a long time can be scary. It’s also liberating.

Shizzow Developers Meetup
I’ll be explaining how I put together the Shizzow for Android app at this evening’s Shizzow Developers Meetup.
Shizzow for Android
Over the weekend, Shizzow rolled out the first version of their API. With the help of the totally awesome PhoneGap, I used the API to create a simple app for Android.
Right now, all it will let you do is post if it can find an already-saved place nearby.
Over the coming weeks, I hope to bring the functionality close to what’s available at m.shizzow.com. Eventually, I will need some testers. If you’re interested in helping out, please leave a comment.
Finally, because this is built using PhoneGap, porting it to the iPhone and Blackberry should be very simple. If you’re interested in seeing the app on those platforms, you should leave a comment as well.
