Web 3.0?
It seems the rage these days is what many are calling ‘Web 2.0′. Well what exactly is Web 2.0? Some define it as a more interactive web experience. Others define it by the core programming that drives a web application. And then there are those that say all you need to be ‘Web 2.0′ is [...]
New Theme Selection
For the 3 of you subscribed to my RSS feed and the other 2 who visit my site occasionally it may be obvious that I changed my theme of choice. I was previously using Simplicity which was doing just fine. The purpose for using it was to have a simple design while I cooked up a [...]
3G iPhone Letdown
Today Apple announced the new 3G iPhone for release on July 11th. I’m sure there are many Apple fans who are thrilled about getting their hands on the new updated piece of handheld goodness. I, on the other hand, am highly unmoved by this new release. The main new features include 3G data speeds and [...]
Robots Standards Reference
One very useful tool for Web Administrators lies in the Robots Exclusion Protocol. It’s a handy way to tell search engines certain actions you want them to take when crawling your site(s). This is typically done via a robots.txt file or various META tags within the (x)html. I knew about these tools and have been [...]
Form Processor Updated
Well it’s been a month since I released my Catch-All PHP Form Processor and I must say I’ve been very pleased with the results. There have been about 300 downloads and I keep seeing this script pop up in places around the web. I started getting user comments and suggesting and a few bugs were [...]

Excellent Free Icons
The guys over at Smashing Magazine never fail to produce some outstanding resources. Today they posted another addition to some quite wonderful icons for use in web or other graphical elements. They aren’t all licensed the same so be sure to look into that when you find some you would like to use. Near the top [...]
It’s a Girl!
Nikkie and I had an ultrasound yesterday and found out that we’re having a girl! We’re so excited. Her name is Brady Nikkole Reagan and her due date is October 4th. I’m sure it will sneak up on us! I have a few pictures of the ultrasound below and a couple more are on the [...]
CBS buys CNet Networks
CBS purchased CNet Networks Inc today for $1.8 billon. You can add this to the list of large purchases by big businesses out there. It seems many companies are making ’strategic acquisitions’ of online services or businesses in order to boost their overall revenue. News Corp bought Myspace for $580 million a few years back and [...]
Take That Myspace Spammers!
As though Myspace didn’t have enough revenue they recently won a judgement against notorious spammers in the amount of $230 million. Personally I’m quite happy about this for a few reasons. The main reason is that this (hopefully) will make other spammers shy away from this type of behavior. I’m guessing that the spammers who [...]
