CSS Naked Day #3
Once again it’s CSS Naked Day, a time to strip your site bare and see how good it looks without all that CSS. If you’re using Wordpress, you can grab the CSS Naked Day Plugin and not have to worry about disturbing your layouts once the day is through. So far I’ve been extremely happy [...]
BarCampOrlando After Party
Izea put on a great (open bar) after party dubbed Geek Out ‘08 that bogged down their office with wet geeks. I was completely soaked from the knees down, but enjoyed geeking out in both games and tech talk. They had 2 entire rooms devoted to Rock Band, and others for Wii Sports, Smash Brothers [...]
@BarCampOrlando Rundown!
No one is going to debate the fact that BarCampOrlando lived up to it’s namesake this time around (ok, so there wasn’t much Foo there, but details deails). Both venues for the event, Slingapours and One Eyed Jacks, had plenty of room for the events with room to spare. Power via extension cords and squid [...]
@BarCampOrlando
I’m downtown in Orlando at BarCamp and so far overwhelmed at both the quality of the venues and the community! As someone who doesn’t trek downtown all that often, the area on Wall Street between Slingapours and One Eyed Jacks is an excellent social atmosphere. Kudos to the organizers for keeping things going.
If you’re wondering [...]

New Admin Menu that’s easier to manage
More reliable widget management. Instead of having all widgets on the page now you setup individual sidebars as [...]
Sharing Links the Easy Way With Del.icio.us
Chances are you’ve been to some social bookmarking site in the previous two or three years. The idea seemed to come out of nowhere and change the way many of us interact with the web. Before sites like Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit or DZone I honestly can’t remember how I found half the stuff out there. [...]
Bar Camp Orlando Coming Up!
For those of you in Orlando next month, April 5th-6th marks the second Bar Camp Orlando. The first one went great, and this one looks even more organized. Instead of just one day with anything goes topics, it’ll be split into two days — one for developers, and one for media. With the growth in [...]

Simeon Bateman will be giving a talk on Using Flex with RESTful WebServices with Ruby on Rails. Daniel Roop will also be giving a talk on FlexUnit Basics [...]
In Defense of Orlando
I have to admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of Orlando. Like the majority of people in Orlando, I came here for school and ended up staying after graduation. Locals around my age are extremely rare. With a thriving economy, a huge University and loads to do it’s no wonder it draws people from [...]
