    Why re-invent the wheel

    Companies need to check to see if there’s already a solution before solving problems. The new wheel is Tabblo, a slick web based technology for internet users to print blogs, images on flickr, and other web sites. Whoo-hoo now I can print web pages… Hmmm I don’t remember not being able to print web pages…

    HTML 5 – More semantic page elements

    In an effort to continue the advancement of web technology it seems that everyone, a panel of industry giants, got together and started formulating the next version of HTML standards. HTML 5 incorporates into the HTML standarda new set of tags that should bring the standard in line with how developers are currently using CSS…

    Updates..for everything!

    Here it is, my site design is fractured and disjointed. I admit it. I added the blog capability, and started a gallery portion, and then never integrated everything together. Shame on me. So now that I have a lull in the storm of projects that were on my plate I am going to start working…

    setAttribute, a gallery, IE, and hours of my life wasted

    One of my favorite books is Dom Scripting by Jeremy Keith. I’ve used his concepts for a gallery I designed for my dad’s portfolio. Well in the process of making updates to that site I ran into a problem. I wanted to display wider images than normal for one of the pages, to not have…

    When it rains it pours

    I’ve been stacked up lately with contract work. It’s nice to have the extra, but man some nights I would like to just like to kick back. Oh well, no rest for the wicked. Beyond the training development that I am working on at HP as my day job, and the work I just completed…

    Damn the Standards…Full speed ahead!

    I was browsing through some sports coverage and ran across this link. It’s an amazing (read: bad) site that ignores all the standard rules of engagement in web design and development.

  • Click to Activate Flash Still an Issue?

    It’s amazing to me that sites that rely on Flash for their main navigation have not taken the steps to eliminate the “Click to activate and use this control” messages from their sites. If you haven’t seen this message before you must be avoiding flash sites. To recap: Eolas has a patent dispute with Microsoft,…

  • Google Analytics Beta

    I was just visiting Google Analytics and noticed a fresh new interface. The graphs are bolder, and the data seems to be better organized. All good news for everyone using this free Google service. Oh, pay no attention to the dismal traffic that my pitiful excuse for a web site is currently drawing…unless you want…

    Blog Spam

    What is it with all the companies thinking that spamming blogs will get them traffic. Yeah, I’m an idiot and will host your comment with a link to your pharmaceutical, stock market gimmick or pyramid scheme because I don’t moderate my comments at all… Have they not heard of the almighty delete key! I just…

    Is Print Dead?

    I just finished watching a webcast discussing the evolution of printing in the digital age. The discussion really centered around the fact that people seem to be printing less in the age of Web 2.0. People read blogs, watch videos, communicate with each other, check prices, and order products online.
