My Media Consumption
So I thought I’d play apart in the latest tech meme about how us web junkies consume our media. I originally read the post from Jeremiah on his blog so I thought I’d join the party. My Media Consumption Diet (most used at top, least used at bottom): Web: I get easily 95% of my news from the Web. I use Newsfire to get through all my feeds. News, Work-related, Sports, Fun stuff,...

Three weeks out from Gastric Bypass surgery

Playing around with Virb.com
For those of you that haven’t heard of Virb it is best described as a MySpace-like site that doesn’t suck on style or design. I originally saw Ryan Sims designing some of its pages while at the Future of Web Apps conference in San Francisco but never asked him about it and never could get in for the beta. Its currently still in private beta and I just happened across an invite...

The problem was noticed recently due to me upgrading to...

So, yet again, I thought I’d answer some questions to those that are curious. So how’d it go? All in all, I thought it went pretty well. I was hurting pretty badly the first two days but after that, it...

Big Day Tomorrow
Well tomorrow is my surgery day. I had to go in today to do some blood work today and had a bit of a fiasco. I should preface this story with two things: 1) It’s about needles, so you don’t like ‘em, don’t read this. 2) I have only been poked about 150 times in my life and totally don’t have a problem with needles. With that said: I totally passed out for the 1st...

Major Revision of the new theme.
In what’s easily the most work I’ve done on a website, I have officially uploaded the revision to the template I’d start with a couple of weeks ago. It’s been fun, I’ve learned more about PHP, CSS, Photoshop, and Wordpress than I probably cared to but glad I did it. I am finally able to call this theme my own. Yes, I did start with the foundational theme of...
