Should your small business have a blog?

As some of you know I do graphic and web design freelancing (which actually is why I have this blog). One thing I hear from a lot of clients and potential clients is that they’d like to have a blog. When pressed on the issue, however, they don’t always have clear reasons for wanting a blog. [...]

Google Wave Basic Overview

I got my Google Wave invite from a friend about a week ago. There’s a lot of buzz about it on Twitter and the tech sites. Most people I’ve talked to, though, have no idea what it is. I think that’s mostly because Google released a one hour and twenty minute long video trying to describe [...]

IE6 – My Solution

So my current solution for IE6 is to drop support for it, but not entirely. If I can get something to work in IE6 I will, but I’m not going to avoid using transparent PNG’s or valid CSS. I refuse to let IE6 hold back the internet anymore (as much as I can help it). I’m [...]

No Visitors to Your Wordpress Blog?

About a month after I started this Blog (maybe less) my Wordpress stats stopped working. I was too stupid at the time to notice that I had just coded my own theme from scratch. I figured it was because of one of my plugins, and just ignored it… until today. I got tired of having [...]

The OS is going to utilize the Linux kernel, feature a brand new windowing system, and “just work”. The OS is designed for netbooks so most of the application support [...]

Gmail (and more) Out Of Beta!

I never thought this day would come. Google has taken Gmail, calendar, documents, and talk out of beta. I’m not really sure what that means. I guess it means they’re finally stable? They were pretty stable to me. Anyway, I always thought it was odd that Gmail had ‘beta’ next to it when it’s been [...]

Facebook’s the New Facebook

Whenever I show someone twitter, they tend to tell me that it’s just a copy of Facebook without all the features. While that’s partially true, the key difference between Twitter and Facebook status updates is that ‘tweets’ are sent to everyone, while Facebook updates are sent only to friends.
