Prototype vs jQuery
So, several days ago Ash White and I had an exchange on Twitter about jQuery vs Prototype as far as JavaScript Frameworks. Ash has been using both for awhile, and I used to be a Prototype user – but over the course of the last year I’ve switched camps over to jQuery. At Ash’s suggestion, [...]
Lessons Learned in the Last Year
Most years I allow my birthday to pass fairly uneventfully. I will usually end up having dinner with friends or family, but I’ve never really enjoyed anything that put me on the spot (i.e. a full blown party). While thinking on this I decided to diverge from the normal mandate of this blog a little [...]
Making Apache Smarter: Because Configuring VHosts Sucks
Hello again my friends. It’s been almost a month since my last post, so it’s time to post again, right? At some point I’m going to develop a healthy balance between work and this blog / my side projects. It hasn’t happened yet. But hey, it happens. As promised previously, this article is going to [...]
Making DNS Smarter on OS X

A little thing I Photoshopped together inspired by the recent mess with the Playstation Network. Cheers!
Hard Truths: Politicians don’t care what you think
From time to time I become influenced by the idealistic notion that I live in a country where the elected politicians take emails from their constituants seriously. On these occasions when I find myself in that mood, and I find an issue particularly offensive, I’ll take the time to type out a nicely worded email [...]
Sony’s PSN Hacked, Users’ Information Compromised
Greetings friends! So, this isn’t going to be much of a blog post, but I know a number of people who use Sony’s PlayStation Network – and I want to use my blog to get the word out about the recent hack into their network. I’m not going to go too much into detail, but [...]
Launch of Portfolio Site
Yeah, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon. I’m happy to officially announce the premiere of the perpetual beta of my Portfolio Site. Five points to anyone who names the company that I’m poking fun at! Anyways, yes – this is my new portfolio site, in all it’s glory. One of the things that I’ve learned throughout [...]
