As a web guy, I’ve experimented with and used all sorts of cool technology over the years. Recently, I’ve taken a delight in jQuery. I have been working through my “Learning jQuery 1.3” book written by Chaffer and Swedberg. Although I have only spent a few days working through the book (I am only into…

Google has really been on a roll lately. Nexus One, Chrome, Wave, Voice, Buzz, and the list goes on. I’ve joked with people for years that Google will rule the world; it’s only a matter of time. Google was acquiring every sort of “good” technology (blogger, feedburner, Picasa, YouTube, etc) or service at every possible…

Alright, so if you’ve been to the site at all in the past few months, you’ll notice right away that you’re looking a new theme. If you haven’t been to the site…well, you’ll just have to trust me. Well, bear with me as I work out a few kinks with the new theme. Obviously, best…

Yeah, yeah, I’m sure by now you’re all tired of talking about the stinking iPad. Honestly, I am too. However, I haven’t really posted anything of significance other than a few tweets to get my initial reactions down somewhere. Okay, I’m going to repost my initial comments and then I’ll follow up with a more…

I’m experimenting with a few themes so bear with me.  I’ll be creating my own custom one soon, because no matter how many themes I look at; none exactly fit what I want.  They all have some weird quirk or problem that I just don’t like.  That said, I appreciate the ability to be able…

Ever wonder why services like Facebook and Twitter exist? Well, I’ve seen research and articles that cite how people interact with one another (many small short communications versus fewer longer communications), etc, etc. I think that is definitely a big reason why those services have exploded after the past few years. The communication via those…

This post is going to attempt to tie into my last post just a little bit. Why do I have my own website?  Well, for one, I work on the internet everyday.  I build websites, etc, etc.  Two, I need one central place where I can keep all my online “activity”.  Websites like Facebook, MySpace,…

Well, this might seem like an obvious post, but I’m going to post it anyway. This site is going to be the central home for all my online socialization.  Sure, I have facebook and twitter accounts, but those are different animals.  I’ve got my twitter and ping.fm updates posting in the sidebar so this site…

Yep, went through and finally updated my Drupal install tonight. I know, an exciting Friday night! Seriously, I’ve been putting it off for a long time. I also need to do the same thing on a client site too. Too bad Drupal isn’t as easy to update as WordPress… I’ve also been putting off creating…

I’ve been using Windows 7 Enterprise since Sunday. Not a release candidate or beta version…the real thing. I know you’re probably thinking, “hey that hasn’t been released yet”. Well, I work at a University and our group is special I guess. Special in the sense that I’m sure other Universities get the same cool and…
