• Wild Cow Milkin’ , July 4th

  Jul 13 10

  This last Independence Day was just a little different than my previous. Usually, I goto my brother’s house and hang out, watch his amazing fireworks display, talk with family and sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at the top of my lungs.
  This time, we decided to go to the Choteau Rodeo. It was purty [...]

• CSS Trickery Part 3: Using :hover to affect more than a link

  Jul 13 16

  As all CSS users should know, the :hover pseudo state is sweet, but has its limitations. :hover pretty much works on all elements, and in the future, it should work on all elements in all browsers. However, right now, we still have to deal with Internet Explorer 6 and the fact that :hover [...]

• CSS Trickery Part 2: Horizontally Centering

  Jul 09 6

  Horizontally centering text or images should be an extremely easy task in the XHTML/CSS world. I remember the good old day when you wanted something centered, you would just wrap the thing you wanted centered with the <center> tag and all was dandy. Your job was done.
  However, there is one small problem with [...]

• CSS Trickery Part 1: Defaulting

  Jul 08 9

  I am introducing a series of CSS tricks that I have learned over the past couple of years. Many of these techniques, in fact most, were not created by me, however I use them almost every day. Hopefully, every couple of days, I will share another CSS rule or set of rules that [...]

• Relearning Life

  Jun 17 13

  There is a spirit of change moving within me. I can feel it and I can see it moving me. Every time I feel that I am done changing for the moment, that I can take a rest, I feel it push me further. This change has been brought on much by [...]

• Songs I wish I never loved…and hate to love

  Jun 08 9

  Weve all done it. Weve fallen in love with songs that now seem ridiculous. I can’t believe what sort of crap I’ve listened to in my day. And what better to do than share those lovely, yet humiliating chunks of musical and lyrical bull than right here in front of hundreds, no [...]

• Today my life changes…

  Jun 05 9

  Today my life changes. Today I am going to make a difference. Today I am going to do things that I tell myself that I will always do and I will refrain from those I shouldn’t do. Today, I will:

  NOT drink coffee
  Work out
  Say hi to anyone I pass, regardless of whether I [...]

• Avast ye Lurkers! De-lurk!

  May 31 23

  In the spirit of writing with absolutely no idea what to write about, I would like you to write. It says here that I have 211 people that are subscribed to my blog. That tells me that I have a whole handful of people out there that don’t say a dang thing [...]

• On Freelancing

  May 23 13

  A friend of mine did a smart thing today. He quit freelancing above his full-time job. He just quit. I think he may have learned a lesson from me. Seeing me burying myself with work possibly made him realize that making this extra money above and beyond really doesn’t do a [...]

• Burning out

  May 19 13

  Sometimes I get so incredibly motivated that all I can think about is coding, designing and pushing a project out. It consumes my days and nights. It consumes my work time. It consumes my free time.
  Motivation is a great thing, but sometimes it gets to a dangerous level with me. [...]
