  • Nutty
    March 14, 2008

    So Its been a whirlwind of a week. SXSW was a great experience and know then next time down there how better to prepare myself. SXSW is not about the conference –it's totally about the people and connecting. If you...

  • Things I hate about the internet
    July 19, 2007

    Hate is a really strong word, that's why I'm using it here. There are several things that I _hate_ about the internet and computers, not so much the internet but companies whom develop things on/for the internet and what they...

  • Gone Naked!
    April 04, 2007

    I have gone naked for CSS Naked Day once again. The purpose of this is to spread the ideals of semantic markup (that is HTML with meaning) and web standards. Even though I have disabled the "style" of this website,...

  • Super Popup, the last popup script you will ever need
    March 26, 2007

    Every site has popups. Period. We all hate them but they will never completely go away and if you write XHTML Strict the [ target="" ] tag is depreciated, because of this Javascript needs to step in and fill this...

  • Gallery updated, moved.
    March 12, 2007

    So I finally got around to posting the few pictures I took on my Caribbean Cruise, but I’m finally drinking the Flickr cool aid so I have opened up an account and uploaded all my images there. Flicker is pretty...

  • Myspace bots think I am Sexy
    March 07, 2007

    While at work the other day I received an alert from my myspace page (don’t laugh) that I received an message from someone named “Kristal” I don’t know anyone named “Kristal” so I instantly know something is up. But then...

  • Tagged: Why Do I Blog?
    February 19, 2007

    So, I have been tagged by J-Eck (over at Reinspire) with one of the latest meme’s to be floating around the interweb’s cesspool – “Why do I blog?” First I hate that term, always have always will. I have had...

  • Warning: Falling Pixels
    May 23, 2006

    Hey Guys, Just a quick note. I am in the process of switching web-servers, hopefully this is seamless. If you see something strange please contact me and let me know so I can fix it. (foo)...

  • Simple Rounded CSS Corners
    April 14, 2006

    Update: I have updated the demo page and added an "advanced" version which will allow you to add style to the whole box, not just the corners -- so really this is no longer just for creating "Simple Rounded Corners"...

  • Some Firefox Extensions which rival sliced bread
    April 11, 2006

    I'll spare you the awful joke about Firefox and its new hair extentions and get right to it. Over the past few months I have been a collector of useful Firefox extensions – mostly in the vein of Web...

  • We're going streaking....
    April 05, 2006

    Not in the literal “Old School” sense, but today is the first annual “Naked Day” where XHTML developers all over the internet will be disabling the style sheets and showing their raw semantic markup. Nothing is broken. I'm just...

  • Content Injection in Flash with XHTML and sIFR
    February 23, 2006

    Since we (my team at Digitas) have launched the new Pontiac website using web standards, I have had the opportunity to lift up the hood and explain some of the inner workings to some of the other teams at Digitas....

  • Finally Launched
    September 17, 2005

    Yes, I am still alive. Barely. After 70 hour weeks at work it’s finally over and the new Pontiac site that I have been slaving on for a few months has finally shipped on time. I could not have done...

  • The Musical Baton
    May 17, 2005

    As many others have before me, I have recieved the musical baton (from Nicole -- Thanks) Even with the sparseness of postings over the past week or so due to unbelievable workloads and that darn “Da Vinci Code”! I decided...

  • Beantown Geek Out
    April 28, 2005

    A little late on the notice but just wanted to post yet another reminder about the Beantown Geek Out tonight at Boston Beer Works on Canal st. @ 7:30 in Boston. These meetings are always a good time to talk...

  • More annoying than Mosquito bites on your ass
    April 22, 2005

    This may be a shock to you, but I think I have spent a good 25% of my life on a computer and exploring the bowels of the internet. During that time I have seen some shit which normal people...

  • Misguided
    December 06, 2004

    Recently there has been a exercise in corporate power and free speech inside of the blogging community. A fellow blogger, Jason Kottke whom operates a very popular NYC blog, posted an audio clip of Ken Jennings final Jeopardy episode on...

  • Spamless, for now
    November 24, 2004

    As you probably don’t care (and shouldn’t) I have made a few modifications to the commenting system on this site. I’ve enacted a policy whereas you have to “preview” your comment before you submit it. I didn’t do this to...

  • Getting IE to play fair
    August 17, 2004

    I always assumed that you had to “guess” when a browser was rendering in quirks mode. Guessing if a browser is running in quirks mode is like trying to staple jello to a wall, its freaking impossible.

  • Technical Difficulties
    May 13, 2004

    I'm sorry to all whom tried to post comments the past few days and couldn't. Somewhere between the cracks a gremlin has fiddled with the site causing MT-Blacklist to pretty much reject everybody's comments with a nasty error. Does Wayne...

  • Cmon 7's - Momma needs a new website. (site credits)
    September 15, 2003

    Well if you’re a frequenter of this lovely website, you have noticed by now that a few things have changed over the weekend. But the most exciting changes of this website, you cannot see. [ please allow me to “geek...
