It was about time for a makeover
I have some changes planned for this site. The first step was to give it a fresh new look. I’d love to hear what you think!
Sometime soon this website is going to become a portal to aggregate content from all of my various blogs. When I’m done this will be the one stop [...]
Plurk. Another Twitter Clone with a really crazy name
The lifestream and micro-blogging trend continues with another entry into the fray. This one with the strangest name yet. “Plurk”

Fixing technology blunders…or not.

The Usability of "Web 2.0"
I would say that I take most shifts in the way web technology operates in stride. The current wave of AJAX and other similar recent additions to the web developers arsenal which are increasingly used in the development of web based applications has caused me to shift slightly toward looking for web based tools [...]
A quick introduction
I really wanted to start this site off with a really great design that I created myself. The problem is, that while I know the mechanics of theme development, the design part gets me every time. When Performancing.com posted their latest theme, which I found to be pleasing, I decided that I’d [...]
