"Talk is Cheap" the saying goes. With the Web and simple journaling applications talk has become more than cheap, it has become free for anyone who wishes to say something. EXPRESSION is my two cents worth.
One of my favorite pastimes is to find a local coffee shop and frequent it as often as I possibly can. I’m not talking about the chain-gang Starbucks & Caribou-type places, I’m talking about genuine, locally owned & operated establishments with real character. Much of the character being owed entirly to the characters that patronize [...]
At work, we’re beginning to develop the next version of our proprietary content management system (CMS) called ACTIVEA. In its current rendition, the CMS has been around for roughly 3 or 4 years. It desparately needs to be updated. Just think about how far web design in general has come in that same period. Yup, [...]
A little email conversation I received recently: Individual A: “You brought me my computer last Monday. I went to use the external mouse and I have a connection with a round end but my computer needs a connection with a flat end. Can you get me the correct mouse or direct me as to where [...]
So several people in my family have asked what I want for Christmas this year. I figure what easier way to share the news than posting it right on the front of my website. It’s not at all boastful or over the top in any way to post one’s desires on one’s own website, is [...]
We purchased a 2001 Jetta GLX VR6 last Monday and I finally had the time to post some photos. The car has 103,700 miles, every imaginable option and it runs great. It needs a few minor fixes (tie rods & alignment, new e-brake cables, new serpentine belt) some of which I’m hoping to get done [...]

Her job is not to whine about emerging commonalities but to use them to create pages that are distinctive, natural, brand-appropriate, subtly memorable, and quietly but unmistakably engaging.” ‘Nuf said. A [...]
So I did it. Today I broke down and signed up for Facebook. Against my better judgment and all the while feeling like I was doing something very, very wrong, it’s official. My wife has been begging me to join so her status can be married to someone and not just “married.” If you care [...]
In a previous post, I mentioned that I was hoping to find a way to open and close the CD tray on my Mac Pro (running Windows XP under Boot Camp without the Apple Keyboard and its eject key) without having to open My Computer, right-click on the drive icon and select Eject. So far, [...]
My world has changed. My internet rock, the one I knew would never change has changed today. Jeffery Zeldman got Facebook. I’m not sure what I am to do. I don’t really feel that I need another place to go online and waste time. I spend enough time staring off into the deep white digital [...]
Just what we’ve all been waiting for: Photoshop CS3 Extended for the iPhone! (Thanks SimpleBits).
