My Week With Ford: 2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost
I have to admit, this vehicle constantly surprised me. From the outside, especially compared to other 7-seater vehicles, it looks quite compact – but when you get in, you definitely notice the expansive amount of space that Ford has given you. There definitely is a sense of ownership over the road when you’re driving it [...]
My Week With Ford: 2012 Ford Focus Titanium
Well, I had the privilege of driving a brand new 2012 Ford Focus (5-door hatchback) for a week. Having never driven a Ford that wasn’t out of the 1990’s, this was actually a pretty exciting experience. Now, I don’t attempt to pretend that I’m a car genius, or that I know the inner-workings of a combustion engine, [...]
Domains – Protecting Your Investment
I always say that the purchase and setup of a domain and hosting should be left to the professionals; diving into something that you don’t completely understand, you’re bound to make a mistake. However, even when using a professional, you should always make sure that you protect yourself and the investment you’re making [...]
Leave It To The Professionals
Imagine this: You’re a general contractor and you’re about to start building a custom home.

But, upon closer inspection you notice that [...]
Privacy Review: Google Chrome
Ever since its initial release in 2008, Google Chrome has come under a lot of scrutiny due to its sometimes misleading privacy policy. Right after the beta release on September 2, 2008, CNET news brought to the public’s attention a passage from the Terms & Conditions “which seemed to grant to Google a license to all [...]
No More Free!
I was going to try and be clever with my title for this posting, but I felt like this maybe warranted a bit of a direct approach. I think the topic is fairly self-explanatory, so I’ll just get into it. You see it everywhere now – free this, free that, “don’t pay when you get it for free” – this needs [...]
Why Work Doesn’t Happen At Work
Somehow he found a way to verbalize exactly what I’ve been thinking for a long time. I also happen to worship his company philosophy, so that probably makes me biased. Just watch and you’ll understand.
Rules of Programming
Learn. Learn. Learn. Everyone always questions me on why I like to build a custom CMS rather than use something packaged like WordPress or Joomla. The answer is actually quite simple; I like to learn. I strongly believe that if you’re not willing to learn how to do it on your own, then you shouldn’t be doing it in the first [...]
10 Reason To Stop Supporting IE6
I recently read an article that was talking about how as you move into the future you shouldn’t forget the past. What they were referring to was the need to always be backwards compatible and that your website should be developed for and accessible through Internet Explorer 6, just as much as any modern browser. It raised the [...]
