I send my days and nights working on Voxox, then random other moments planning my party. I guess you can see where my passion is, and I feel sorry for the others in my life that have been feeling neglected!

With that in mind, I’m hoping you can all make it to my party. It’s my chance to say thanks for hanging on and loving me, even when I’ve gone dark. My house and my SD pals are open for slumber parties for out-of-towners, so book your @virginamerica flight, you’ve got no excuse!

It’s shaping up to be all the coolness I was hoping for. It’s crazy, it might not be far off from basically being SxSW at the Beach. How cool is that? Music, local breweries sponsoring tastings, and some of the best experiences I’ve loved living in San Diego thus far. And it’s all centered around all my amazing friends who are in town for An Event Apart San Diego 2010.

Hope you can come!

Woke up this morning to my friends pinging me, well the East Coast ones at least. Apparently Jonathan’s mom found his face on the internet, and alerted him to his new found fame. I guess he’s always known he’d be a star, but I have to say I’m giddy, a little shaky even. It took me a couple minutes to even settle down and read the text. I’m just now getting to that now…

I guess maybe it’s a good thing that they think it’s going to be just the same, I mean we’re hard at work trying to nail down the implementation of the new feature experiences… is it a case of “under promise and over deliver”? Always look on the bright side…

…But still, “Otherwise, it’ll work the same.”… uh, that hurt a little. I don’t really make things pretty, I make things work. (I did design it, but that’s not the point.) Oh well!

As always, check out this invite if you wanna get in. You have to wait to confirm but all my pals will get entry! http://bit.ly/dxvPav

I guess I didn’t really think of my face (or my friends) being on the interwebs like that when I was mocking up the UI… I thought of it in context of a marketing email. Wow.

If you want a sneak peek, still gotta use my link to request an invite, and don’t worry you’ll get in… We’re getting pounded (and there’s a delay I hear) but all my pals will get confirmed using this link http://bit.ly/dxvPav.

Besides my co-workers, check out my pals: @aquentamymac @chriskirkman @applemacgenius @morganholzer @noniekimp

Now I’m headed out to see friends in SF. I think I’ll wear dark glasses? ;)

P.S. @c you’re on my arm in that photo… remember the “white hat” @digg party? :)

My Face, on Gizmodo. Whoa.

Tim Ferriss ponders Voxox.

Voxox. It’s what I’ve been up to…

Sometime in January of this year I decided to stop chilling out and get to work on whatever I deemed cool enough to be my next project (what normal people refer to as get a job).

I thought I was going to go work for this really cool brand name which happens to be on my beautiful 52″ flat screen HDTV that sits in my living room, but I got interested in this little company that “nobody has ever heard of”. Could I do it? I mean, my resume has become bit of an unintentional ego trip. I feel in love with the people, and they had the guts of something I thought was for real.

That’s Voxox.

We’ve re-aligned and I’ve redesigned the experience. It’s coming out soon, and you can request a private invite to the sneak peek. (Hint, using my link below you’ll get in!)

It was hard work to get to what we’re releasing soon, but frankly I’ve gotta say (and I know it’s cliche, but) that’s just the beginning… I’m even more excited about what you can’t see yet. You know what it’s like to be a “talker” and having to keep your mouth shut? Oh, it’s torture!

In any case, sign up for an invite (use this link and you’ll get in to the preview for sure) and share with whoever you want. It’ll release soon, and we’ll be following up fast and hard with updates that continue to roll out my user experience.

Tweet it, Facebook it, just make sure it’s this one: http://bit.ly/dxvPav

Once you get the preview, if you love it tell everyone! And if you don’t, tell me: voxox ux feedback – at – telcentris . com goes to straight to me. There’s lot of work to do, so I hope I’m hearing from you! :)

Cheers!

P.S. Tim’s tweet: Looks like he liked it even before I started designing the experience! :)

   • You can sync only one Google account.
   • When the account name and password you entered are confirmed, the dialog disappears. You can close Address Book preferences now if you want.
5. To do a manual sync, click the Sync menu in the menu bar and choose Sync Now.
   • To add the Sync menu to the menu bar, open iSync, choose iSync > Preferences, and then select “Show status in menu bar.”

If you change your Google account name or password, click the Configure button to use the new account name or password to sync your contact information.

If lots of changes are detected during syncing, an alert is displayed and you can choose to continue or cancel the sync.
