Nerd Post: the joys of xml
That title is a lie, I actually kind of hate working with XML, or at least I used to. Before I understood objects and the basics of OO programming I would get lost in traversing what could sometimes be a huge tangle of children and attributes. I am working on a new personal project in my off time. It’s partially for the Design for America link I posted yesterday, but basically I am working...

Healthcare Reform
Healthcare Reform passed the house and I wore a purple tie to work today. I’d take photographic proof since I know most people wouldn’t believe that I wear ties on occassion, but my camera phone wouldn’t turn out a good one if I buried three magic seeds, did a good picture dance, and sacrificed a goat to the good picture gods, so just take my word for it.
What do the two things...

Nerd Post: Things I'm tired of...
For whatever reason, Drupal is all the rage right now. I know people that make their living off of building within drupal, and this post is not aimed at them, although I’m sure you could replace Drupal with Rails, Spring or any number of frameworks and some of this would apply, but mainly I want to address the following.
Writing code in drupal because that way when you hire someone new,...

Mix CD for your soul
The lady and I have had some times lately, nothing life threatening, so all those that lurk on my facebook, please, do not be alarmed, but regardless, I thought I’d cheer her up, so I wrote her an email and made her a mix CD that tries to be above all else positive, while some of the lyrical content may not be, musicians are miserable people, the best you can hope for is a positive sounding...

Yes...another nerd post
I’m working on a project at work that is trying to mirror a desktop application as much as possible. Enter HTML5, CSS2, and a whole heaping helping of jQuery (a personal fave). I won’t lie, I’m not a hardcore javascript guy, some of this may come off as basic to some, but I extremely enjoy jQuery’s method of object input and tracking because it makes a very CSS familiar guy...

HTML5 for the lazy
Are you building in HTML5? Are you lazy? Here let me help you with something:
header, section, aside, footer { display: block; }
Your welcome, it annoyed me for about 15 min today before I realized that none of the new elements are turned on as block level elements in most (if not all, again I’m lazy, didn’t really look) browsers.
Supposedly this will be changed soon, but until it...

I like whiskey
And not in some, I just turned 21 and discovered Jack Daniels way. I truly, completely enjoy relaxing with a glass of nice whiskey. Melissa does too, which is convenient. Currently we probably have a top 5 of whiskeys that we will drink, I will list them and explain why…and also to encourage you to try them. Whiskey can be like a good wine, a whole lot of flavor with hints of anything from...

Storytime with Jaret Ferratusco →
I would write a description but Jeremy says it best in his blog. Jaret is an amazing talent and someone when I talked to him, would make me feel like he was seeing the world completely differently then I ever could.

PS this is the best quote ever:
“Think of it as like Mayberry,” state Rep. Stephen Precourt, R-Orlando, said, referring to The Andy Griffith Show. “That’s when I grew up — the ’60s. That’s what life was like. I want Florida to be known for making those kinds of movies: Disney movies for kids and all that stuff. Like it used to be, you know?”
