  • 2010 NFL

    Is it just me, or is this years NFL season one of the weirdest in recent memory? Each year we have some teams who surprise and some teams who are the favorites.  However, this year, it’s almost as if everything has been flip-flopped.  Enter the evidence… First, let’s start with the last two unbeaten teams:…

  • Relative Expectations

    Funny thing, I get on Facebook tonight only to see nearly EVERY Cub fan I know ecstatic about their sweep of the Cardinals.  Sure, I’d love the shoe to be on the other foot.  However, the Cardinals have been AWFUL for a month straight; playing sub-400 baseball since taking first place in mid-August.  Now, we’re…

  • Ego Maniacs and Nice Guys

    Well, the title of this post is pretty open ended.  Let me be more specific…I’m talking about Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.  I’ll let you figure out which one gets which title.  First, let me state that I’m a 49ers fan and I have the greatest respect for Brett Favre.  I actually LIKE Brett Favre…

  • Sitepoint Rocks!

    Before I get too far along with this post, let me say this, I am NOT a paid spokesperson.  Now, on with the blogging… Over the past month or so, I’ve been very fortunate.  Sitepoint, one of my favorite web developer resources has been offering a ton of outstanding training materials at amazing prices.  Here’s…

  • WWDC 2010: Fallout

    Nope, no Apple fan boy here. But, as a tech guy, I did want to post what I thought were the most interesting bits of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). First, and foremost, I thought the top news of the day was the AT&T upgrade offer. Second, would be that they’re offering an 8GB iPhone…

  • Places You Should Eat: Spring 2010

    I’ve been eating out a lot lately.  I normally don’t like to eat out a bunch, but recently, I’ve had really good reason.  My reason for going out so much recently was because I thought I was going to be switching places of employment.  As a result, I was having lunch with various peeps from…

  • Everyday Evolution

    Recently, I’ve seen some articles asking interesting questions to those of us who create for the web. One such question, “What do you consider yourself”, is especially interesting to me.  All of us who create for the web have probably worn multiple “hats” at some point throughout our career.  Initially, you HAD to wear different…

  • Another Trial Run

    Yep, testing another tool for the site.  Again, please disregard any weirdness.

  • The Upgrade

    When did the upgrade of your cell phone become such a critical life decision?  I’ve had a cell phone for a decade, or longer, so I’ve been through my share of upgrades over the years.  However, each time, I find myself spending more time and effort analyzing and breaking down every possible aspect of this…

  • Cool Site Award

    I attended the 2010 Webmaster Forum at the University of Illinois today.  This year marked my second time attending the event.  I love this event and it is a great learning and networking opportunity for web professionals in our web community.  Each year, the webmaster committee does an awards segment where they honor the top…
