Last week, popular web development website A List Apart (ALA) released the results of it’s 2007 Web Design Survey. I’ve spent the last few days reading over the 82 page document and found a good amount of the results interesting. Over 80% of the respondents were White Males 48% came from the USA When asked if they were excited by…
Over the summer I did a good amount of web design. I have been developing websites for almost 7 years now and have been inventing and reinventing my process as I’ve gotten older, more mature, and a better developer. This summer I got to evaluate my process to see what I should change about it- how I can make it…
Twitter, a website that allows you to post short (140 characters or less) updates, has been becoming more and more of a productivity tool. I have been a Twitter user since April, but haven’t really started using it until just recently. With integration for Google Calendar, Remember the Milk and GTalk among other things, using Twitter isn’t just a fun…
What’s wrong with this picture? Well besides some poor design decisions I’m seeing, let’s take a look at the main, in your face story. “WiFi: Children at risk from ‘electronic smog’.” What now?

I’ve got to say it has been a nice change of pace from the normal coding sessions I have been doing the past few weeks. Once some of the stuff I have been working on is finalized I will add…

Recently (after I left school for Christmas, but before I got back on Jan. 2nd), all Adelphia customers were switched to Comcast’s service, as Adelphia was bought out by Comcast. From the time I got back, the internet was noticeably slower, but I thought at first it was my router, which has also been functioning incorrectly. However, I got the…
Backing up data (or the lack there of) seems to be a pretty big problem among college students, or just PC users in general. My most recent computer, the Gateway, tanked on me a few weeks ago. After some tinkering, I diagnosed it as a hard drive problem, and prayed I didn’t lose my data. Luckily, it was recoverable. However,…
Last week The Nine, a show about nine people involved in a traumatic bank robbery, premiered on ABC. I don’t really watch too many prime time shows, but I liked the premise and checked it out. This week however, I was at a meeting for the second episode (the show airs Wednesdays at 10pm) and missed it. Luckily, ABC keeps…
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post on the new Facebook stuff. Well it seems they added lots more, and there is outrage. I personally don’t find it too bad, and here is why.
