I’ve been running this current theme for far too long. It’s crappy, old, and most likely consistently broken. But my brother threw together a fantastic wrapper for me, so I’ve been fleshing out the mockups like mad crazy. It shouldn’t be more than a week or two until I get it tested in prototype, then [...]

Paul Boag has published a great article over at Smashing Magazine pointing out 10 harsh truths on corporate websites. This is a good read, 100% accurate, and it’s a must-read for any corporation having or in need of a web presence.

Heard of this Twestival thing yet? Well, it’s a charity fundraiser to help supply some clean water for those who can’t get clean water. Remember Marty McFly’s glass of water from Back to the Future 3? Yeah, there are still plenty of people in this world drinking from Marty’s glass. More info is available over [...]

Don’t you love when all your IE6 preventative measures actually come to fruition? You know, after you’ve spent days and days tweaking CSS and HTML, and you finally decide to risk looking at in IE6.

Enter Nannerpuss, an eight-legged banana octopus on my pancakes. What a beautiful thing this is. Watch it on Spike.com! Follow Nannerpuss on Twitter!

Drupal provides some great functionality, but its learning curve is pretty steep. Most developers can grasp it pretty quickly, but the end administrators don’t have that luxury. And this can be a real problem. More arguments of using WordPress as a CMS continue to abound, some claiming that it works wonderfully as a CMS and [...]

Was just browsing over foxy cart again, and I came across a bit of info on integration with ModX. Now, this sounds pretty promising. If this actually works, then we may have finally found a slick ecommerce system that gives the developer actual control… imagine that craziness. I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity [...]

I came across (yet another!) open source CMS, SilverStripe. After a run through the CMS features I though I’d give the tutorials a quick shot. Turns out, this CMS is actually really nice! It’s bare bones, but in a way different than most bare bones or lite CMSs. It runs on their own PHP OOP [...]
