While at my last job, I found myself listening to internet radio an awful lot. This typically came in the form of Pandora and Last.fm. In an effort to keep from closing the window by accident, I started making a dedicated browser window and minimizing it to the dock (I didn’t know about [...]
In an ideal world, Safari would be the dominant browser. There, I said it. It doesn’t have to be the only option, as Firefox certainly has a lot to offer, but recent releases have made it unquestionably the most progressive browser on the market. It is blazing fast, supports a good chunk [...]
While Smashing Magazine is a prolific resource that can be relied on for useful links and great lists, their posts tend to err on the side of “retardedly long.”
I’m subscribed via RSS, and I rarely make it past the halfway point before deciding that I simply don’t have the time to consume all the information.

Day in and day out, I fight against the FAIL that is Internet Explorer. These days, Version 7 pretty much gets the job done with a little cajoling and the occasional punch in the face, but Version 6 is the bane of my existence. On a whim, I bought DestroyIE.com the other day [...]

Have you built anything with the super awesome jQuery javascript library? If you have, you know that it makes doing just about anything with JS significantly easier. I’m particularly drawn to the similarities it shares with CSS, structurally. It also bridges most cross-browser issues without batting an eye.
The only downside I’ve encountered [...]

Let’s get the full disclosure out of the way: I am a huge Apple fan. I’ve catalogued my Cupertino gadget collection more [...]
Today Apple rolled out Safari 3.1, and Matt Mullenwag did an official preview post on WordPress 2.5 (RC 1). Maybe it was the double espresso and two green teas I had between breakfast and lunch, but I’m about as giddy as a school girl (who swoons when presented with sexy new tech stuff). [...]
Do you ever think about what you would change, if you could change anything? Obviously, making yourself the richest person on Earth is a little materialistic, and rippling biceps just gets you into fights, so I tend to focus more on the things that would make my life easier, or holistically more enjoyable.
