Who I am

Tag/Tag is the technology consulting firm led by
Jacob Redding. I provide consulting services, training, software development and system administration. Utilizing a network of skilled partners I also provide site and graphic design as well as website copywriting, proofing and editing. I am currently working around Asia particularly focused on Beijing & Shanghai China.


What I do

I specialize in the technologies that make the web work in hardware, software and personal form. As a hardware geek I specialize in Apache, MySql/Postgres on Linux. As a developer I use PHP on the Drupal platform for custom site and module development. The web is made up of people and I never stop extending my network to match skilled people with the right companies or projects.

Chinesepod, Twitter, and Social Networking

These days I rarely write blog entries that express an opinion about a subject or that are of the typical "blog" type. My blog entries have been directed towards my family and friends and are rarely directed towards the "Internet" (although I fully understand they are on the Internet). Today is a bit different.

O'Reilly, Harvard, Twitter and Vegas baby!

Submitted by Jacob Redding on Tue, 2007-04-17 02:11.

Check it out I was mentioned on an O'Reilly blog. I spoke briefly on using video w/ Drupal during DrupalCon (OS-CMS sunnyvale, Ca) and I get a one-liner on O'Reily. Man I should speak more..

Oh wait. I am. At Harvard.

The Beyond Broadcast Conference is occuring in Cambridge, Mass next week and I am on a panel speaking about "Participatory Media" and "Open Media publishing Tools". Basically it is geek talk for an entire day. I'm excited. I love this stuff. Check it out on Wikipedia

In other news I have fallen in love with twitter. Twitter is a stupidly basic service that allows someone to send message to the twitter service via the web, IM or SMS. So even when I'm not near a computer I can send simple messages to my blog to update my status/whereabouts with everyone. You can either read it on my webpage (the block on the Right), subscribe to an RSS feed, get the updates on your phone, or see them on twitter.

If you read my twitter messages from this week you would have noticed that I went to Las Vegas. I flew in for the NAB conference, which is a massive conference for television stations around the world. Tens of thousands of people attend and thousands of vendors show off their products. People arrive from around the world, hang around for the week and talk "shop" with other television heads. I'm not fond of Vegas but the conference is actually quite interesting and fun at times.
