I learned something very valuable at my current gig as a manager at a local convenience store. People learn a certain way to get things accomplished and that is how they will continue to accomplish pretty much everything. They often continuing down the same path even though it leads no where. It begs the question [...]
Web design is almost not even a real industry without Adobe Photoshop. I mean seriously, think about it. You can’t walk into any web designer’s office/workspace without seeing at least a trial of Photoshop. It’s a staple of web design. Well, a staple in any creative field for that matter. After all these years, I’ve [...]
Software developers often have to wear multiple hats in the midst of time constraints, small teams and lack of support manpower. So it’s no secret that software developers naturally aren’t very good at providing support to users. As one who has been on both sides of the fence, it only makes to describe what users [...]
Over the past couple weeks I’ve been trying feverishly to cancel my AT&T account as a result of being outside of their governing coverage/service area. Because of my location I’m within the full scope of their policy and terms to terminate my account without fees. But this is only possible with the introduction of paperwork [...]

Today I went to do some pre-purchase shopping for new mobile phones and plans. Since AT&T support is not available in Kearney, NE, it was high time to actually get out to get some figures and test out some phones. Since Alltel and Viaero are really the only real carriers/providers in Kearney, those were the [...]
Luckily, I have been fortunate enough to experience both worlds in the context of web development. Each environment brings it’s own problems and comforts, but in my earnest opinion, I’d take remote collaboration over on-site any day of the week.
If you haven’t noticed, Twitter has been tits up after removing the ability to see other peoples conversations regardless of whether or not you follow those people’s followers. This sort of eaves-dropping has become the sweet spot for users to discover and connect with new and interesting people. But Twitter ignored the voice of the [...]
Just got home from watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine. If you’re not into the x-men comic or cartoon series, then you should probably ignore this post. Okay, now thats out of the way. This newest installment in the x-men series specifically logs the story and history behind Logan (aka: Wolverine). He’s the guy with the metal [...]
