Side Projects and Distractions

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

I know I’ve made this into more a link dump as late - but I try to add a little flavor to my collections, and perhaps it’s time to reveal what’s been taking up my time.
I recently returned from my brother’s wedding in Denver (Congratulations, bro!), was able to enjoy Wynkoop’s
, check out the Denver [...]

Conversation, Obama, politics, and talk radio.

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

What follows is a conversation I found waiting in my IM when I got home the other night. This is my friend *speaking* - it’s not me, it’s not my replies, and I dropped his IM name for the sake of everyone involved ;).
so today I’m talking to my dad on the phone and he [...]

Signing your code.

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

A novice still has room to learn
An intermediate knows his stuff, but can still grow.
An expert can teach others.
A professional gets paid to do it.
Don’t fall in th e”professional” trap.

I bring this up because, as you may or may not realize, I code for Resource Interactive.
Now I’ve coded “professionally”
for a few years - meaning I’ve [...]

Some recent inspiration

Monday, April 28th, 2008

This is a tweet of a post - something that may not hit the record mark in length, but something I feel is noteworthy.
I’ve added a new link to my side bar.
That would be Genuine Chris. Every time I talk to Chris I get a little more excited and a little more envious.
What he’s doing [...]

Suffering from Duplicity

Monday, April 28th, 2008

In my efforts to play with wordpress and blogging at large, I’ve suffered from the dreaded duplicate content. Not posting twice, not posting two versions of the same thing - but the tweet posts (and twitter sidebar). Watching it from my side has been interesting, and I get the dreaded sense of overkill that comes [...]

You Can Do It Yourself

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I signed up for email alerts for The Personal MBA. I did so because they present this list of 69 business books (called - surprise! - the Personal MBA reading list) - and a few of the books I happened to all ready be reading. The emails aren’t exactly gold-star material, but they essentially spark [...]

Weird week, baby drama, PHP code.

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

I am bloody exhausted.
This week, I’ve dealt with some rough issues, some weird projects, weird code, and a lack of sleep. My eating’s been better, though, except a couple iced coffee drinks and a “50 cent no-joke” McD’s ice cream cone.
My son was sick, so I skipped class that night as it was one of [...]

I was told to learn this before my next New York trip.

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Can’t rock out without a good song to jam to, y’know? Of course, the more I listen to QotSA the more I want to jam…

Writing and the miracle of walking away.

Monday, April 7th, 2008

It’s awesome when you’re given a task of writing something you’ve looked into and think not enough has been said on the topic.
As well, it’s awesome to expand another’s work to see if you can - even better when you walk away with a better understanding.
More on those things later - except for my own [...]

A new requirement for blogs?

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Thanks to a blog post I’ve ran across - totally by accident, through the route of “six degrees” - I read about Issac Kelly’s thoughts on blog commenting, and he mentions Disqus which utilizes OpenID.
I’d like to pause, for a moment, and thank the developers of mozilla firefox for their creation of tabs (or, I [...]
