From the beginning, the relationship with my darling black macbook has been “love/hate.” I bought it days after the release and thanked the gods above when error reports started rolling in that didn’t manifest themselves on “Krycek.” Being a seasoned apple buyer, I assumed that the staggered release of macbook pro and macbook [...]

PHEW!!! At long last, I am back at the helm of my site. This isn’t the much anticipated and belabored “fleur” theme, but it’s new and that has to count for something.
Inspired primarily by Derek’s site and the crew at Pink for October, this theme is in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness [...]

You may have noticed that things have been very quiet on EliHorne.com, but don’t think I’ve abandoned my post (no pun intended).
Page 1 of the redesign is finished, and page 2 is about 50 percent done. With the new site accomodating my material and digital blather, I also intend on releasing at least one [...]

Like Derek, I am a statistics addict. I log in to Google Analytics and my ShortStat page at least 10 times a day.
While this site has only been a full fledged blog for a little under a month, a couple numbers have stayed pretty true. Some of this may surprise you, other areas [...]

The frenzy is over. Servers are back up. First let’s talk about what rumor sites were expecting:

widescreen touch-sensitive “true video” ipod FALSE
iPhone, somewhere between a nano and the newton FALSE
Airport Express for streaming video SORT OF FALSE
revamped computer line-up FALSE
renamed iTunes store to accomodate movies SORT OF FALSE

At first I was really dissapointed. [...]

MacRumors.com’s live feed (automatically updating)
Gizmodo’s picture updates. EDIT: gizmodo seems to be experiencing technical difficulties. check out engadget for pictures.
if you are lucky (unlike me) you can [...]

Slightly redudant title, but whatever.
I’m not sure exactly when I became aware of the wonderful world of CSS/XHTML websites, but I’m pretty sure it coincided with my first visit to CSS Zen Garden. Created by Dave Shea, the garden “aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation” in the world of CSS designs that allow [...]

With chaz’s helpful comments guiding me along, I finished coverting page 1 of the “fleur” redesign into html. At around 2:30 in the morning, my “recent comments” and “recent posts” were almost 100% functional in wordpress.
Today I plan to tackle:

livesearch
page 2’s custom comments
digg rss feed

I’m realzing as I go through this process that there [...]

As a designer, I often find myself looking for inspiration to get over a block. I visit my favorite design sites, browse a couple CSS galleries, but sometimes thats not enough to jump start the creative flow. The problem is that you see these great samples, but you don’t want to bite off [...]

OUCH!

This is what happens when your internet goes out while you were in the middle of building a readership. Important areas of note: Monday the 4th was the day my “Why the Macbooks is a bargain” appeared on digg. Tuesday the 5th is when my net connection dissapeared. The rest is [...]
