So, I’ve been easing back into the whole blogging world. My primary goals are to write about being a new dad/stepdad/husband, an internet professional, musician, and budding lifestyle coach/advice type of person. All of that will come as I have a lot to say and, hopefully, some words of wisdom that someone will find helpful. [...]

I’m one of those few folks that actually enjoys short, fly in/out meetings. Missing my wife and kids is certainly a driving factor, but, I honestly enjoy meeting with people and the rush of the fly-in vacuum compounds it. Technology plays a major role in this, obviously, however, technology is useless without the human element [...]

Facebook; you, like me and 120+ million others, are using it. It’s a great way to re-connect with people and to keep up with existing real-world friends at a glance. For better or worse, you can get all of the info you want on your “friends.” For better- those friends that you don’t have [...]

Is there anything worse in life than a trip to the MVA? Tooth extraction? Trephination? Taxes? They all pale in comparison to the inefficiency that governs the vehicles clogging our roads and idiots piloting them. How is it that we can create (and celebrate!) razors with more than one blade (with aloe!),yet we can’t find [...]

One thing that attracted me to technology those many years ago was the promise of a paperless world. I was drawn in after my first BB session ‘85/’86…hooked like a digital crackhead. To my young mind, I was simply amazed @ people sharing ideas in some distant magical world! Of course, the magical world is [...]

I really need to understand what people mean when they say “productive member of society.” Where are the units of measurement for this sentiment located so that I can firmly grasp where folks that spew this phrase are coming from?

You probably heard on the talky box or ear-hole unit about the 16 year old Baltimore-area [...]

Nothing drives me crazy more than web sites with poor user experience/interface. Typically, these sites are not professional in caliber and don’t last long if they are in any way used as revenue stream. With user experience design, you get what you pay for. Poor user experience = no repeat users. What boils my blood, [...]

The interface is nice… does the job, and, it IS free! Why post from my phone? For me, my laptop is more of a hub to develop on, edit pics, etc…the phone is about digital communication- taking what you need with you and doing what you want where & when you want. Freedom…what can’t Apple [...]

One of the unique challenges with the web is that it is a portable, scalable medium. Ideas that work in X pixel ratio don’t always translate in larger or smaller spaces. We (and the industry on a whole) are striving to make our site(s)  snap to mobile - or any other “space” where users access [...]

Today we had to re-assign the Colonel (our cat Deaner) to a new post on the Eastern Shore. We call him the Col. because he thinks he’s a military security cat and he meows with a Southern drawl…oh, and he has OCD. I never thought I have a pet with human issue, but, the vet [...]
