Get Rid of Your Resume

Over the last few months, I have learned that one of the best people to get career advice from is Seth Godin. I have a few posts in the hopper that I will finish up and get posted within the next few days.
Except I saw a post he did today on how resumes will not [...]

Private RSS Feeds

For quite a while now, I’ve been looking and thinking about how a password protected feed could be accomplished. This seems to be quite a problem. One that does not have a solution yet.
Why would somebody want an authenticated RSS feed? I personally would like one for a private blog that I have. Other reasons [...]

Glen Phillips Concert

Last night I went to the Glen Phillips concert. He is my all-time favorite musician. I first heard his music when he was the lead singer for Toad the Wet Sprocket. He was great then and he is having a good solo career.
Take a look at his MySpace page. He’s got some music and other [...]

Networking Pays Off

Enter the base tag. Never seen it. Never heard of it. Didn’t even know about it. If you are interested, read the official documentation. [...]

SportUltra.com: Great Idea, Missing Key Features

A local Seattle company launched today. I was excited to hear about it. SportsUltra.com promises to deliver sports news to you that you care about. I have been waiting for a site like this for a while now, especially since I moved to the Seattle area. It’s a lot more difficult to follow the Utah [...]

Learning Ruby on Rails

For a while now, I have wanted to learn Ruby on Rails to build some web apps. I have heard so much about it. So, as a web developer, I thought I had better just do it if I were to ever learn it.
I finally got started last night. I decided to get first get [...]

Email Cleanup

It’s been a while since I last posted anything. Sometimes I need a break from blogging. I have lots of stuff that I want to blog about after some time away.
The other day I was cleaning up my email inbox. Last week I heard a wonderful talk while I was working and listening to some [...]
