Flash vs. HTML5: THE RECKONATING

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

So Adobe and Apple are in a sissy slapfight about Apple hating on Flash. Steve Jobs seems to think Flash is slow and bloated and buggy and just generally skanky and awful. Well, yes, it is. Sorry Adobe, but Jobs has a point here. Admittedly the lion’s share of Flash’s problem is the people using […]

Twitter’s for quitters

Monday, April 12th, 2010

This WordPress for Blackberry app is pretty neat. Now I can update with whatever stupid crap pops into my head. And crap pops into my head a LOT. “Crappopperhead,” they used to call me at finishing school. So here begins another era, an era of stupidity the likes of which has rarely been seen by […]

Once you go Blackberry, you never go back, Barry

Hey campers! Guess who just downloaded the WordPress app for his Blackberry! Besides Cory Doctorow, I mean. Yep! So let’s see how this inaugural phone post goes. Whee doggies!

I, Webguy

Friday, March 26th, 2010

WARNING: This update is actually somewhat serious despite my usual impish tone. Recently it’s come to my attention that you, every person reading this, are desperate to know my philosophy of what I do: Web design and development. Well, settle in, Chuckles, because I’m about to drop a screed. 1. I am an experienced corporate […]

Would you still need me? Would you still feed me?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I’m 44 now. Yes, I know, congratulations for another year of not accidentally inhaling something bigger around than my trachea, well done. I’m also halfway in my working career toward retirement age. This freaks me out a bit, since I haven’t been very careful with my finances so far and I’d much prefer not to […]

15 more things to do with an Apple iPad

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Apple is famous for breaking paradigms and strategizing changes to the social structure of the Universe. But with their newest pile of secrets, the iPad, Apple has blown the doors off even their own hubris and sent the blogosphere into conniptions of joy and despair with an almost Proustian display of modern existentialist computing. So […]

From the ridiculous to the ridiculous

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I’m posting this link in hopes it gets a video some hits/increased rankings for work. I don’t endorse it exactly, I just work here. I suppose you may like to look at it if you ever thought about wrapping your car or you want to advertise something locally. Wraps are very good for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dOAQT0qQAk […]

Merry freakin’ Christmas

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Hey guys, what’s new these days? I’m just being my usual huggable self, living life chained to a mortgage and car payments. I don’t have much of a retirement plan, which is starting to weigh heavily on my mind especially since my beautiful wife will get to retire in a few years with a teacher’s […]

DING! Novel’s done!

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Because I was writing furiously for a month, I didn’t get to post here much. Which is okay, because it spurred me to finish NaNoWriMo. Yes! My book Revenant is “done” at 51,455 words. What’s more, it has spurred me to continue writing. So off we go to a new book. Then another, and another, […]

NaNoWriMo Trip Report

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I hit 9,511 last night. I hit it like the FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD. Edit: I’m a-testin’ something which may be cool. [wave id=”googlewave.com!w+gIAyi8qBA”] Edit edit: It would be cooler if it worked. Ah well. Edit edit edit: Aaaand it works! You have to have a Wave account and be using a worthwhile browser, […]
