Knowing those that came before you
by
Watching Star Trek yesterday I was struck with the thought of my grandchildren getting to really know me. In Sub Rosa Dr. Crusher’s grandmother dies and Beverly gets to read her journal. Out of that journal she really gets to see a side of her grandmother that she didn’t know before. Yes a personal journal…
Week in WordPress Episode 0
by
Enjoy my amazing insights and sound issues on the first episode (well it’s called 0 here) of Week in WordPress. You can see what else Matt and Slocum are doing on their blog. I assume that show notes will end up on the post for the episode.
Why I Write
by
Why do I write? What prompts me to sit in front of a screen and put words on a page? What is it that causes me to agonize over word choice or sentence structure? Who am I really? Do people really want to read what I have to write? It’s not like I’m anyone famous.…
Does Trello work to Run Your Business?
by

I say that Trello is not ‘specifically tailored’ because Trello takes a such an open approach to dealing with managing business tasks. You can’t…

Programming and Extending Grace
by
We’ve all heard about the 10,000 hours it takes to get good at something. Maybe it’s 10k blog posts or 10k lines of code for you. The point is that you aren’t great till you’ve been doing it a long time and produced a bunch of terrible work. A great article takes this idea of…
Weekly Pricing for Web Development
by
As I start the transition to weekly pricing I thought it would be a great time to explain why I think weekly pricing is a good idea for both clients and businesses. Less Lock In I know that I’ve been involved in projects that are going south, at some point it’s just going to happen…
