  • Man from Plains

    All this talk of politics has affected my netflix lineup. Last night we watched the documentary “Man from Plains“2 about Jimmy Carter3 and his most recent book. I’ve got to say that Jonathan Demme4 is one of the better filmmakers of our time. Ever since Stop Making Sense5, a video concert of the Talking Heads was released I’ve been a…

  • Social Programming

    While the supposed grand ole days of helpful and responsive use net forums went by before i even opened a script on a computer.. what’s evolved of so called social networking is seemingly working it’s way with dynamic apps into programming circles which makes sense considering it really began there in the first place. Being…

  • Siddhartha

    I took the afternoon off this afternoon as i was a bit worn out hunching over a bunch of sites, code, and monitors today. I put a chair outside to enjoy the sun and get rid of some of my programmer’s tan… and I managed to read Hermann Hesse’ novel – Siddhartha in one sitting.…

  • Benchmarking Beta

    (this site over the last 30 days) Google Analytics released a beta version of something they call benchmarking… it’s good.

  • Turbo Tax

    I think i can endorse it…i’m certainly not an accountant or tax expert, but i like knowing exactly how it works vs. paying someone so i don’t have to think about it. i have very little expenses and most of my work is freelance (services) with only some depreciation on computers and cameras.. i drive…

  • Advertising and the Idiot Box

    let’s face it.. that computer screen you watching as you read this post and it’s parent network of millions of servers are full of junk and in many ways not to different than our old idiot tube. It’s all in how you use it that makes it different… and the primary difference is dynamic data.…

  • Harbourtowne – 30th Anniversary

    Correction: 44th Anniversary Update: 22/01/25 – I reworked these websites this week. I’ve always promise that I’ll take care of anything that I build for the life of it. These sites were originally built in 2006 so they’re almost twenty years old now. I scaled up the images from the originals I had taken and…

  • Facebook

    gotta love it.. i was dragging this morning.. opened my email at 6:30am and sure enough there was my high school prom picture (thats me in on the far left with the strange expression) staring me in the face some 15 years later. (how about this one – with some sort of blasé 80’s attitiude)…

    i’m doing this logo for a contest because i believe in the cause and there’s a free iphone to boot..
