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…

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…

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…

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

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…

I’d like to see what the code looks like from this editor after posting…so just ignore any wacky formatting I may have included in this…

Let’s start with the Analogy. We’ve heard speculation about a Verizon iPhone for 2-3 years at this point. In the cell phone/tech/gadget world, that’s a lifetime. The Chicago Cubs have been trying to win the World Series for the first time since 1908, and yes, that too is a lifetime. My analogy? The Verizon iPhone…

Okay, let’s just say you’re a web guy who has a few extra hours of time on your hands cause you’ve injured your ankle. What would you do with that time? Of course, I’m talking about myself, and my recent trials and tribulations on the basketball court. As a result, I am forced to stay…

Do any of you know who Cassandra is? You probably use or see her every day and you don’t even know her. No, seriously, have any of you web folks ever heard of Cassandra? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say…no. Until recently, I hadn’t either. Who/what is Cassandra? The Apache…
