That Whole AJAX Thing

After getting my mail today, I was happy to see two of my favorite groups of people together at last: InfoWorld and 37Signals. In the current issue, Infoworld has a really good article titled The Browser Reloaded, which is all about the newest Big Thing in web development: AJAX. In it, they interview several of […]

Web Development at Work

I just realized that it’s been a very long time since I last mentioned what I’ve been doing at work for the several months. In a word: lots. I’ve added PHP programming to my list of web development skills, which previously focused mostly on HTML and CSS. What does all of that mean to you? […]

Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow.

If you’re looking for a perfect example of an ideavirus, and of the extreme weirdness that happens on the internet, look no further! Via Ann Althouse and Boing Boing, I present to you: Crying, while eating. The funniest part, in my opinion, is “what he’s eating” and “what he’s crying about”. “Babe, pig in the […]

Live Blogging – Megaconference Jr.

Doofus? Yo.

Well, I’m officially a bonehead. It was just yesterday afternoon when I turned my research paper for Intermediate Accounting II – the last thing I had to turn in this semester. More than that, it marked the end of my last semester of MBA classes. Or so I thought. Late this afternoon I went to […]

Vader Meets the Office

The other week I found one of the funniest blogs I have ever seen (via Slashdot). It’s a blog from Darth Vader’s point-of-view called The Darth Side, and is apparently written by a Canadian named Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming. This guy is a comic genius. But don’t take my word for it – check it […]

Junk Food Bonds?

I was listening to Monday’s edition of Marketplace, and found one story so amusing that I couldn’t not write about it – “Cheeto Currency“. You can listen to it yourself if you have the free RealPlayer installed Anyway, they talk about how Frito-Lay’s new Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are apparently the new currency among elementary and […]
