"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.
We launched a refreshed version of http://www.mathewsinc.com last week. While the majority of the site remained the same, we updated the site homepage to a more “open” concept and added a few new features to the site. Most notably, Mathews now has a powerful new video gallery where they can host and server their own [...]
Sometime during the month of October, 1999 I published the first version of CLEARANCE. I had published a couple of free websites before that (GeoCities, anyone?), but during my first semester of college, I managed to get a visual together and a few bits of content written and posted to a static, barely CSS-ified website [...]
Launched a new website last night. Dane Kane is an independent recording artist who I’ve known personally for quite a few years. His old website hadn’t really been updated much in all the years I’ve known him. I was blessed to be able to rebuild the site for him in anticipation of his new EP [...]
Over the past several weeks I’ve noticed that my trusty Dell TrueMobile 1184 wireless router would unintentionally drop wireless connections and was incapable of more than about 5MB/s of throughput. Then yesterday, it started dropping my wired Ethernet connection. Okay, I guess it’s time to retire the old girl and finally upgrade to that newfangled [...]
I was doing a bit of research on baseball pitches and happened across this article pointing one of the wonders of buying tickets for professional baseball games. Of course, the fundamentals could really be applied to any event ticket you buy, not just baseball. Being a Twins fan, it’s difficult to say anything kind to [...]
I just found out that Remote Desktop (RDP) isn’t a standard feature for Windows Vista Home Premium, the version of Vista we have on the new laptop. Bummer. I use RDP almost daily and can’t imagine life without it. No worries though. A quick Google for a solution lead me to a post explaining how [...]
With my wife lugging a computer to law school and back every day and both of our laptops being better than four years old, we decided it was time to get something new and actually portable while still allowing me the freedom to “develop” on-the-go. The latter requirement means a fairly high set of specs: [...]
If you are at all in the web design field, then the A List Apart annual Web Design survey is a responsibility for you. The only survey of its kind, the Web Design Survey is focus specifically on the web industry. Last year more than 33,000 people completed it. This year, let’s see many more!
My uncle has long been collecting and collating a wealth of information about my family history and has put together a fairly comprehensive family tree going back about five generations. I’ve recently become interested in what he has compiled and actually posted an outline of it online at Geni a free family tree website. (If [...]
After my previous post, I found another local coffee shop worth noting. Columbia Grounds, located on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and 33rd Avenue in northeast Minneapolis, is another great spot to kick back and enjoy your favorite coffee creation or even lunch. They offer coffee, a small but full menu of soups, sandwiches, [...]
