I’m an engineer/designer who cranks out some of the best web applications this side of the East River. 

I make ParkWhiz and have worked on PlaceVine, Cleantech i3, and CollegeHumor for a hot minute.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It all starts with the employer. They’re, by far, the ones shelling out obscene amounts of money on ever-increasing health insurance premiums.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 Reasons That The Walking Dead Should Just Kill Carl&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Carl, stay in the house.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seriously, Carl. Stay in the house.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carl, I don’t want to yell but it’s the middle of the zombie apocalypse and we’re going to need you to stay close by.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Okay, buddy. Can you be a good little sheriff and stay put? I don’t know, guard the living room. Yes, okay here’s a special hat and you are officially on duty to protect the couch cushions. Just stay in the house.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carl, I’d ground you but it seems a bit trite what with the hordes of Zombies outside trying to eat our faces.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remember what happened when another little kid wandered off alone? You were here for that. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It’s great you’re keeping your childish rebellion alive but if one of the bad guys gets you, Daddy is going to have to shoot you in the head. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Please, Carl. Just stay here. I’ll be right back. Protect the couch cushions. Make some lunch. Get back to doing that math homework we inexplicably cared about 4 episodes ago.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carl, I’m not fucking around. Please, Carl. Just stay in the house. Do this one fucking thing. Just stay in the house for the next 5 minutes. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HAS ANYONE SEEN CARL?? HE’S NOT IN THE HOUSE. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/19577655679</link><guid>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/19577655679</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:19:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels...."</title><description>“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Laura Vanderkam (via &lt;a href="http://www.swiss-miss.com/2012/03/change-your-language.html"&gt;swissmiss&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/19352826531</link><guid>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/19352826531</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:54:19 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>“Jeremy Lin reminds me so much of Walt Frazier” –...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzhxe0SbHD1qaaxm3o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Jeremy Lin reminds me so much of Walt Frazier” – Knicks’ all-time great Willis Reed&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/17716239470</link><guid>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/17716239470</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:18:00 -0500</pubDate><category>newyorknewyork</category></item><item><title>ParkWhiz got an itty-bitty mention in the Feb 2, 2012 issue of...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5kp6libM1qaaxm3o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;ParkWhiz got an itty-bitty mention in the Feb 2, 2012 issue of Rolling Stone.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/17346974829</link><guid>http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/17346974829</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:12:42 -0500</pubDate><category>ParkWhiz</category></item></channel></rss>
