Brad's Self-Reflection | Part 1
Lately, I’ve been doing some self-reflection on things (highly motivated by the birth of our baby girl, I’m sure) with life, work, family, the whole gambit. During this self-reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that there a few things that I need to change in my life to be more productive, more streamlined, and more available to enjoy the things I love. I’ll be posting...

We have a winner.
After my initial dilemma, it’s official, I bought a the 8125 last weekend. I got to play with the Moto Q in a Best Buy and just didn’t like it all that much. There is, indeed, no touch screen and the thumb scroll doesn’t work well for me. Hell, I couldn’t even figure out how to click the Start button. That and the buttons were pretty small for these claws of mine. ...

XHTML, CSS, & Ruby/Rails Update
So after my last rant of being overwhelmed about where I should start learning, I decided to just go and do. And as things come up, learn.

Sport Greatness Begins
Tomorrow marks the beginning of one of the greatest months of sports that I’ve had in a while. I fear losing my job, wife, and the arrival of my first child due to the greatness that is coming over the next month. For those that don’t know, I’m from Dallas, and yes, I have been a Cowboys fan for years (I’m not even going to get into T.O. right now, maybe closer to training...

RightCart.com Test Drive
At work, we are trying to figure out an effective way to easily manage the credit card payment processing for our web project. We are currently “trying” to use Paypal but they require the paying customer to have an account and it seems to be a pain to a lot of people.

Motorola Q vs. Cingular 8125 | The Battle
