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 […]
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? […]
If you’re looking for a perfect example of an ideavirus, and of the extreme weirdness that happens on the internet, look no further!

The title of the class is Management of Technology, and it sounds like it will be very interesting (in a business […]
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 […]
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 […]
