The Weiner Scandal

Saying that will never get old to me Ugh. I cannot figure out why this story blew up like it did. I want it to stop, and I’m bummed that a great politician’s career is over. He got a little horny and did something stupid while in office. That’s all. It’s not anything to freak …

The Cross of Iron

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a …

Domain companies are a scam

I started my business a little over a year ago now. After I spent a weekend building my site, I went to buy my domain. Turns out bootstrapdesign.com belonged to an old blog that hasn’t been updated since 2007. Their domain was going to expire. I found this out because 2 separate companies, Sunergy Domains …

Woz and Net Neutrality

First, let me just say that I’m cautiously optimistic about this new legislation. Yes, I am nervous that wireless data—like 3g bandwidth—is exempted. Yes, I am worried that the telco lobby was able to influence the drafting of the regulation. Still, it’s better than nothing, right? It’s at least a jumping-off point that might pave …

Nicholas Was

Nicholas Was… Older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die. The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories. Once very year they forced him, sobbing & …

Whew

So after that last post, I’m beat. I’m currently working on a proposal for a potential big client and fiddling around with Sencha Animator, which is a GUI front-end for putting together CSS3 animations. I’m pretty stoked on the idea of it, I might do another tutorial post soon-ish for it. In the meantime though, …
