How do you filter out what’s important to you? For knowledge that flows towards you, you have a lot more control over this. Through our feed readers we have precise control over what we follow, and through email we can filter out spam and label all mail automatically. When we go out searching for something [...]
9 Rules Accepting Submissions Today Only
If you’ve ever noticed that little leaf on my sidebar, you’re probably familiar with 9 Rules. 9 Rules is a community of bloggers focused on, you guessed it, 9 Rules. These are available in their about page, but the focus is to Love what you do and Never stop learning. If you’re even reading this [...]
Design Books for Developers
Designing the Obvious is a book I ran into at Books a Million a few months ago. Usually when I head out to bookstores I grab a handful of books and end up scanning over them for tips, maybe reading a few relevant chapters, then putting it back. Very rarely do I end up reading [...]
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
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 [...]
Wordpress 2.5 Worth the Upgrade?
Absolutely. Wordpress hasn’t undergone a major release in a while, and this one certainly fits the description. What do you have to look forward to in this upgrade? Here’s a few examples:
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 [...]
Tools Make the Difference
How much difference do the tools you use affect your productivity? That’s nearly an impossible question to answer. Books like Joel on Software or his bible Peopleware are more about how to be productive than how to write good code (for that try Code Complete). Although some of these tips can’t translate to a [...]
A Question for Apple Users
A talk with a co-worker of mine left me wondering just what it is about Apple Computers that drives people to love them so much. I’ve always wondered this actually, and since the usual response isn’t too helpful for someone as clueless with macs as me, I’m wondering if anyone can help me figure this [...]
New Year and a New Look
I’ve been neglecting this blog for quite a while. The main reason was that I wasn’t satisfied with how it looked, which was more of a deterrent than I would’ve guessed towards posting. Whenever I started writing something up I ended up tweaking the design instead. Instead of trying to fix a broken layout, I [...]
Old PC Cleanup
I admit it, I’m a packrat. Part of that is due to circumstance, but the majority is that I always tend to think “maybe I’ll need that!”. In nothing is this more obvious than my slew of old PC parts, cables, power adapters and whatever else. I’m in the process of building a new office [...]
