Web Design
Dude I Got A………Mac
This weekend we drove up to Raleigh for the simple pleasure of giving Apple, Inc. a handful of money. I’ve wanted one for over a year, but the timing or the budget just didn’t line up until now. We purchased an iMac last year as a “Shared Family” computer. Wrong. After [...]
_Why All The Tears?
Last month when _Whytheluckystiff (_why) “went missing” I was not sure how to respond. I needed time to process what was happening. A lot of people, including some big names in web development were quick to step in and give a heartfelt thanks and goodbye to a man that had done so much for the [...]

Trying Out the Safari Beta for Windows
As I write this post, I’m using the Safari Beta for Windows. My initial impressions are:
1. Is kinda like FireFox with Mac bling (gel UI elements).
