I am sort of a junky for organizing work. I think a lot of people are. Blogs like Lifehacker and others have made a market out of people who are looking for a magic system for organizing their tasks and schedules. Now, you can buy a tonne of apps for this sort of stuff, there is Omnifocus, Things, Basecamp, and about a million others, with more coming every day. But after searching for a LONG...

Extremes
Imagine the best cake you’ve ever had, or could ever hope to have. I am talking about a really nice, moist, chocolate cake. How could you describe this cake? I don’t mean words that express opinion, like “delicious”, I mean, words that express fact. Could we say “brown”, for instance. That would be factually correct. We could say sweet, I am sure everyone would...

The Web Sucks?
I kept seeing this link being passed around on twitter attached to phrases like “the death of the web” and “why web browsers suck”. I took the bait and read the post, and what I read was amazing, I’m just speechless.  After posting a comment or 2 on the site, and even getting a rebuttal that only further confused me, I decided I have to write a proper response.  ...

Don't Click Banner Ads
I am sure, like me, you think of yourself as “smarter than average”. You would never fall for a phishing scam or give your bank account number to Nigerian royalty. But the fact is, everyone has their weakness, and someone has found a way to exploit you. Perhaps you’ve been called and told you’ve won a prize and that got you excited. Or maybe you were told about a club...

"Wow, what's advertising like?"
Well, TV has led you to belive that working at an agency or in the field of marketing is AWESOME. I encourage you to quickly look through these two graphic blogs and see if you still think it’s awesome. It’s all too true. Things Marketing People Love Business Guys on Business Trips

Stress? What stress?
Now that I am self-employeed, or “funemployed” as I like to say, the number one question I get asked is “Man, I could never do what you are doing. Aren’t you stressed out about money?”. The answer is, yes, money is my stress. I have to pay my bills and I need money to do it. Nothing is guaranteed in self-employment so I am on the hook for everything. But I would say...

My "Pay to Watch" Team
It was the All-Star Game yesterday and that got me thinking about my favorite players of all time, not necessarily those with the best numbers or the most all-star selections or hall of fame careers. These are the players I loved watching. Pitchers: David Cone Barry Zito Jimmy Key Mike Mussina Curt Schilling Bullpen: Dennis Eckersley Mariano Rivera Catchers: Tony Pena Mike Piazza 1B: Frank...

I Found A Use For Twitter
For a long time now, my friends and I have struggled with the question “What is Twitter?”. It’s been hard to answer, and not just for us, but it seems for everyone out there. Is Twitter a blog? Not really. Is it an instant messenger? No, and especially not since SMS was removed for us here in Canada. But after doing a lot of thinking and using it for a while, I’ve found the...

Tools of the Trade
After nearly 10 years in web development, I have tried every tried many tools and many techniques. I thought I would just quickly compile a list of my favorite tools. If I was on a desert island, with only the items in this list, my laptop and an internet connection, I wouldn’t even miss a beat. Mac OS X I am not a fanboy (as all fanboys say), but Mac OS X is the perfect mix of a nice clean...
