For outsourcing html/css, I don't dare do a web search on it and just pick -- and I sure as hell don't want to pick from the ones that spam me. Who are you using? I get pages in Illustrator that were put together from a "designer" (who just can't seem to understand that this is NOT a good design too...

My geek radar is pinging.  I read about this new app on the elevator this morning and ran to my desk to check it out. Go.    I’ve got it already.   Still nothing on the MacBook, but I took a chance and plugged the power cable in.  Got a faint glimmer of light from it.  I think that’...

The last couple of days have seen definite Yin-Yang going on in  my life.   Good:   I finished the first sleeve for Mr. Not-So-Greenjeans on the way home Friday night.  I just need to get going on the second sleeve. Even Better: How far would you drive for a spin in?  Here’s my answer (ro...

Multe din taskurile unui sysadmin nu se fac de pe tastatura conectata la masina respectiva. Deci administrarea de la distanta a sistemelor este un skill important. Am sa trec in revista cateva tool-uri pe care eu le folosesc. Primul protocol la care ma gandesc cand vine vorba de subiectul acesta, es...

I’m very quickly becoming a fan of Chris Hardwick. First, I read an article written by him in Wired where he attempted to use a number of different self-help books to get his shit in order. The article is fantastic; entertaining and informative. I’ve read a few of the books he references...

Sound the geek alarm! Actually don’t. The alarm costs money to operate, and this recession is killing us as it is. What were you thinking? But there’s official word coming from the mouth of Iron Man himself that Mickey Rourke is not going to play Crimson Dynamo. Does that mean he wonR...

The press has been jabbering on for days about how President Barak Obama will keep his beloved Blackberry. It's not true.
