The BP Oil Situation
So there’s those movies like “Independence Day” where the world unites and fights off evil aliens to help save mankind. It’s when all else fails people realize - “hey, we’d better do something about this or we’re all screwed…”
That’s the situation in the Gulf of Mexico right now. It’s not the time to be formulating special...
Great Response
From a forum on Sitepoint.com
Question: hey folks, wanted to know how to sketch/wireframe while your sitting in conference and a client/boss is telling u how’s what and what goes where. its very scary for me coz i might miss something or misplace something which wasn’t there. so what’s the smart way?

Leaving Microsoft
An excerpt from a company email by J. Allard of Microsoft on leaving the company and moving forward.
Please, put my headcount and that cardkey “invitation” to good use. Find a college student that claims we don’t get it and blogs tirelessly about our lack of agility. Track down an EE that has been focusing on fuel cells and has radical thoughts about power management. Or a social networking whiz...

The Beer
When I lived in Victoria, I used to spend (a lot of) time brewing beer at a place called Bedford Brewing. This was after I got the “bug” for micro-brewed beer after having a tour of Vancouver Island Brewery’s new facility. After brewing some of Dave Harvey’s beers at Bedford such as the IPA and the Scottish Peated Ale (which I hope he gives me his mash recipe for…) I...
The iPhone Killer [LOL]
The iPhone Killer:
The iPhonekiller is a statement about current tech products and personalities status , worshiped by the media and public, along with my possibilities to react and criticize that in a humorous way, with an Open Design. Price upon request.

The Power of Music
I am a drummer. I’ve been playing in bands on and off for over 20 years. I got out of it to go back to school and become a programmer. Now I sit at a desk most days and build websites. I love that - I’m good at it and I work with some of the coolest folks on the planet; and some of the best in the business. But it’s not enough.
It’s a rush to see your work on the internet...

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…
