Tim Bray of Sun Microsystems delivered an awesome keynote speech at the Future of Web Apps Expo 2008. Unlike many keynotes (which generally tend to be upbeat), Tim spoke about the economic tough times ahead, and what you can do to get though them. There’s some very solid advice in this presentation.

Yahoo Email Vulnerability
This is yet another reason why premium email solutions, like those offered by Pleth Networks, are a wise investment even for personal usage over free hosted email solutions. I ran across this security notice this evening on Pleth Networks, LLC, who sells a premium email solution for individual and enterprise level accounts. If you are […]
Acxiom Reports Earnings
I thought that it was interesting that even during an economic downswing that Acxiom was able to post a 20% Increase in earnings this quarter. They released their earnings today, and ACXM Shares closed today slightly higher, this will definitely make the shareholders happy given that just about everything in their portfolio has taken a […]
Projects: Church Alive Redesign
I have been in the process of updating my church’s website over the past few weeks to incorporate some new features and plugins that we were needing.

Mojo the Hog-Dawg!
I just thought that this was too funny not to post. This is our Chihuaha Mojo, that stays with my parents. He is absolutely spoiled rotten too and probably has one of the worst dispositions known to man. He can go from adorable to insane in a matter of seconds. This is one of his […]

One of the funner projects that I have been working on as of late is a WordPress driven website for Celebration Church in Fresno, California. I have been working closely with Tim Langley, who is on staff at the church and we have basically built this website from the ground up with Tim supplying the […]
Visual Design Tweaks in WP 2.7
Automattic has posted some screenshots of what the revised Dashboard and Post Page is going to look like in the WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate. A while back you might remember a survey that Automattic put out asking for input on what changes developers and bloggers would like to see in the next release candidate. Like […]
Retainer Agreements
My business partner, Greg Smart, was recently asked to explain our retainer agreement to one of our new clients, he posted this description on his blog. Retainers are a real value that we offer our clients. I thought that this was a dead on description so decided to repost that description here: Our retainer agreements […]
Exploit Alerts from Google
Today I was waiting around for a meeting to get started and pulled up Google’s blog to read about their earnings report that was posted yesterday and saw where they had expanded their Webmaster Tools to include XSS Exploit notifications. This is a great idea in my opinion! My business partners and I were in […]
