• Save the World?

  Aug 03 17

  I went to Starbucks this morning. Now, their coffee jackets have ads on them. I pretty much read whats all over the cups every time, including the “The Way I See It.” However, this time an ad for Arctic Tale caught my eye. It’s tag line was “The change in their [...]

• How I’m Feeling Today:

  Jul 24 7

  Sorry I haven’t written much lately. I do have some tutorials on the way and some jQuery plugins that I have written to give to you all. But until then, ponder the wisdom of the sages:
  “If Internet Explorer was human, I’d drop kick it in the go-nads.” – Me

  Peace out.

• Web Development Tips #2

  Jun 07 42

  I’ve been extremely busy lately, but I ran across this gem in my earlier posts. I think that it deserves it’s own spotlight, so I’ve decided post it here. As we all know, IE6 has broken support for the CSS :hover pseudo class on any element but the a tag, which is [...]

• The key to Wasabi

  Mar 22 8

  I’ve come across a very interesting technique for dealing with Wasabi. I know you’ve seen those hot-shot guys out there that can down a Habanero shake (I’m one of those guys) and follow that by running a mile in 110 degree heat (not so sure I can do this). But, for most of you out there, spicy food is hard to deal with. I’ve seen it, I’ve witnessed it in my family and I feel for you.

• Who’s your favorite?

  Jan 30 13

  Whenever I redesign, I take inventory of all of the sites that I have ran across in the past couple of months that have “WOW”ed me. I ask myself, “why do I love these designs?.” I typically write down the strong elements from each design. From there, I try to incorporate each [...]

• Where would you go?

  Jan 19 10

  I have a very simple question for all of you that come across this blog. If you were to vacation to any spot on earth, where would you go and what would you do?
  I grow tired of advertising websites telling me what to do and where to go. I would much rather hear [...]

• Web Developers

  Dec 10 12

  While talking to a certain fellow at an untold location, I heard a statement that semi-floored me. He mentioned that web programmers don’t really create systems. They do not program and design systems. They merely assemble things. My thought was that he was comparing web developers to a lego model building, direction following individual. This seems to really undercut what some, might I say phenomenal web developers do.

  While web developing can at time be mere assembly of modules, often it is developing processes and dealing with some complex logic. I am not attempting to say that we are genius C++ video game programmers, however, I think we deserve some credit. We are not lego-assembling, direction following idiots.

  What are your thoughts?

• CSS Trickery Part 5: Inheritance

  Oct 02 17

  Consistent fonts for form items
  This article is written partly inspired by Nathan Smith’s article from Sonspring. The idea with his article is that most browsers by default display form items with a different style than that of the document. This is because by default, form items do not inherit the CSS rules for font-weight, [...]

• I hate Illustrator

  Sep 27 16

  Ok, so I’m a Macromedia (now Adobe) Fireworks junkie. But…slowly I’ve been leaning towards Illustrator. I’ve seen some of the stuff done with Illustrator and I think its pretty durn sweet. So, I have ventured into the land of Illustrator and I am not happy. I know I need to pickup [...]
