    Google doesn’t like IE6, either!

    Google released a nice little script that warns users that IE6 is way out of date. Just include a chunk of javascript, and Google takes care of the rest. If we all adopted this route, then the Google’s warning screen would become standard, more trusted, and would probably do much better than all of us [...]

    Coming soon, a free beer-related WordPress theme

    I’m working on my beer website, beerismypoison.com. The current site isn’t even close to what I want the site to be. It’s not going to be an expert’s resource, nor will it be a directory of all things beer. Rather, it’ll focus more on my experience with home brewing, enjoying beer, and visiting as many [...]

    Locomotivity, a great concept and best wishes

    A building in Downtown Asheville is being converted into a workspace for those who generally work at home or in coffee shops. The company, Locomotivity, opens its doors today, and it offers several member tiers: partner, full-time, part-time, and daily. One of the most beneficial points of this company, that I see, is that it [...]
