Seattle Freeways- The App I should have created but didn’t
I have lofty dreams of being the self-sufficient gardner/technologist/home-maker and they are all crap. CRAP I SAY. Because seriously, the next time I can self sustain recycled technology without updates or the Internetz is the day I’m a freaking billionaire.
So, until I can telepath my way in to your brain bypassing email and other insecure methods and create every app on my own I shall ever need, I’ll introduce you to some of my favorites that I totally had the idea for and never told anyone.
Except via telepathy.
And it totally worked.
We’ll call this category, “She so crazy she couldda made this, baby”
#1 in the series: Seattle Freeways.
Tag line by Me: Because HOLYSHIT seattle is complex and has a lot of cars.
Sure Sure you can save the bookmark of local news traffic from Safari on your desktop three pages back in your apps screen on your iPhone. Sure it’ll work “meh”. But I want something more specific, easy to read while stopped at a light wondering which direction to turn, and fast loading.
Thus I downloaded Seattle Freeways.
For 2.99 you can put local news websites out of business and bypass slow loading servers.
That, my friends, is so totally worth it alone.
Informative, simple, fast, and user friendly. What more could I have possibly come up with?
Oh, right, the code.
Thank you, Svends, if I can call you that for this wonderful resource. Maybe now I’ll hit a downtown meeting on time, for once.

We’re proud to see MIX 10 launch it’s new website. Blue Flavor and Microsoft teamed up to deliver this fantastic site for the upcoming Mix conference in Las Vegas, March 15-17 2010.
The MIX 10 site boasts powerful, clean visual design and the fantastic user experience you’ve come to expect from Blue Flavor. Transparency, texture and tranquil colors with a dash of Ajax and jQuery create a pleasing site which guides the user to sessions, speakers, registration and technomania. It’s an honor to work on a site by, for, and in hope of a better web. As always, it’s a pleasure working with Microsoft. We celebrate the launch with you!

Things not to say in a meeting with Microsoft:
Oh! ExpressionEngine does that already!
You could use Google Docs for that.
PHP
Apache
I have a mac.
Feedburner Invalid GET DATA fix
I was recently having some issues with my feed after, what I thought, was the update to this site.
When clicking on the link to the feed, you would see the following error:
Invalid GET DATA
The URL would have come through the feed google proxy which added invalid characters to my URI:
I did some testing and noticed that my main feed from which feedburner pulls from did not add these characters (logical, right? Since it’s not going through the feedburner proxy) and so I knew it was not my feed from the update, but some change I must have made in feedburner itself.
After searching for what changed and why the proxy was in place, I remembered I turned on “Click Tracking” under Analyze.
CLICK TRACKING OF COURSE. :: facepalm ::
This adds the proxy for click tracking stats and removing this option, completely fixed the problem.
I realized I don’t need to have click tracking on since I use a variety of other stat counters (and never check them).
At least my readers can finally click through if they want. Even if I’ll never know. And really, sometimes? Ignorance really is bliss.
What's Up?
Mom of two, Director of Development at Blue Flavor. I'm learning to eat clean after a short life-altering trip to The Netherlands. Raising a 5yr old daughter, a 2yr old son, my claim of fame is being the girl Ree thought was pregnant and also that time I met Bella Karoli. But mostly the belly thing. (read more...).
DISCLAIMER: This is my playground. I test things out-- and by test I mean break things here -- often. It's how I roll.
