Officially testing the new wordpress iPhone app. If you are reading this, all is well on the mobile front.
The interface is clean, and account creation was painless. But seriously, what is up with none of these apps supporting landscape-mode typing. Maybe I just have big fingers, but this thing has an accelerometer for a [...]

A couple days ago I was giving Gonzo a sneak peek of the redesign that is about to go live here, and in the process, earned myself an information architecture critique of the current design, titled “IKEA.”
He explained that, while he really likes the current design, the tagging system located on the left of each [...]

This is a quickie, but is dedicated to any budding WordPress theme and plugin developers who are just getting familiar with PHP.
If you make a call to a plugin function like, oh say, <?php wp_beta_test(); ?>, and that plugin is not currently activated in the WP backend, nothing below that line of code [...]

Amidst the chaos that will be next week as I try to attend every event at WWDC, I’m also going to be working on some personal development projects as it will be my first “vacation time” since January.
I try to simulate diverse environments in my dev area, but I know that there are some unpredictables [...]

Although I generally keep a pretty strict rule about working for friends (I personally find that mixing friends and family with money stresses relationships), I get an almost zen-like happiness out of building WordPress themes. Equipped with my soon-to-be forthcoming WordPress framework “Skeletor,” the process of taking a comp from a static image to [...]

Since Scripps has a ton of brands (Food Network, HGTV, Fine Living, etc…), we tend to get a ton of schwag floating around the office. I’ve got a super sweet HGTV visor on my monitor which will never see the light of day, and assorted random magnets on my fridge. But today, I [...]

This past week was a nightmare. I had a tough time convincing myself that the day was worth getting out of bed for. Some stuff had gone down at work involving a colleague leaving, and it had changed the atmosphere of the team. And that sucks because I normally enjoy my job, [...]

A blog entirely devoted to spotting and cataloging bizarre Photoshop accidents in the wild.
PhotoShopped (or “Photoshopd”) is run by someone obviously in the industry with a superior knowledge of the mega-bucks image editing app we all love to hate.
Some of my favorite include:

Mutant 3rd hands
Missing heads
Ann Coulter (need I say more?)
Issues with the “time-space continuum”
Everyone’s [...]

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). [...]

Apart from a brief outing on Saturday with Glen and Wendy, I managed to get a lot of work done. On Friday I completed the environment for my twitter experiment, as noted with the CakePHP install post, on Saturday I logged several hours into studying twitter’s API and Cake’s “bakery,” and Sunday I ran [...]
