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 [...]

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 [...]

Why do you blog?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

This becomes the paradigm of blogging in general - and I’ve pondered this thanks to a comment Andrea Hill left me the other day.
Why do you blog?

I maintain a few (I have a Livejournal, too!) and I determine what I want to put where, and why that blog exists. I determine what vibe I want [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hello world!

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I’ve written online for many years, ever since the days of dial-up and a few old BBSes. Recently, I started thinking about the kind of impression one leaves on the internet - often anonymous, often random. This is my attempt to create my digital impression on the web on who I am - as a [...]
