For the past 6 months I’ve had this interesting mac issue - once or twice a month my internal drive which generally has about 90GB free on it would drop to 25GB free or less, I originally thought perhaps the drive was dying because rebooting off a system dvd and repairing the drive generally fixed […]

Every good story need some pictures, this story was about a whirlwind service experience with America’s largest cable company…the girl?, we don’t know for sure, we call her ‘Julie’, say hello to Julie… because I couldn’t figure out how to sell the shirts at cost, I will be donated proceeds to ‘Hope for the Animals’ […]

So courtesy of the auto update plugin - I have a brand new wordpress (really it feel’s like that) - I must say that aside from a few things (most notably the location of the categories list in Publish) I like it, and that the boys and girls at Happy Cog did an admirable job […]

I’ve posted before about how my original 40GB ipod died, and lived, and died - and how I eventually excepted it’s death and moved on. Well I couldn’t just throw it out, ‘T’ had it engraved and gave it to me for our anniversary - and even non-functional that means something to me. So it […]

In case you missed it Endeavour launches at 2:28am this morning. Something about a shuttle launch that makes me feel all giddy - not quite as awe inspiring as the original NASA Apollo launches (which where true media events) watching the shuttle depart is still an awesome thing.
Space shuttle Endeavour thundered into orbit early […]

I don’t hide the fact that I’m a geek, for a designer, I think I hold my own with most webdev programmers - In most regards I know my shit, but until recently I haven’t spent anytime learning regex (regular-expressions) and let me tell you, if you don’t know regex - simply put, you’re working […]

I recently just finished a project that included a day-by-day itinerary, and an hour-by-hour speakers schedule, I really wanted to highlight the current days events, and emphasis the current speakers bio - not a daunting task by any means - but always looking to skin the cat differently, I used a single line of php, […]

I like Math, I like Broccoli and I like Cauliflower - I think the odds are high that I’d like Romanesco broccoli aka fractal broccoli, although I do realize that the mathematical appearance has little to do with it’s taste.

I read about Definr yesterday on DownloadSquad.com, Definr is a web 2.0 online dictionary - it’s fast, it’s minimal, it has autocomplete — and it works - took me about 30 seconds to determine that I can get a definition equally as fast from definr, as I can from the mac dictionary (since I […]
