WordPress: How to Build And Publish A Tag Cloud
It may seem a bit outdated, but I still appreciate the usefulness of tag clouds.

WordPress: Post WordPress Releases Automatically
Quite a few of the blogs that I read post whenever a WordPress upgrade is released. It’s actually a little annoying but I like the fact that so many folks are concerned and want to get the word out quickly.

The 10 Commandments of Modern Web Development
Communication is key as a Product Manager with a software company. Recently, I worked on and published the following “commandments” of modern web development to be distributed to our teams.

Is it? Can it be? The first APUI IS here…
The APUI (Application Programming User Interface) may be here. I’ve got my eye on Yahoo! Pipes, an engine where users can filter and manipulate RSS feeds. This is just the start, though, and will be exciting to watch. I spoke about the need for this technology late last year and predicted that 2007 would be the year of GUI integration…

Hello, I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC.
We all love Apple’s commercials that poke fun at PCs. While I’m an Apple household, I think that sometimes Mac users are a bit over the top of how great their platform is, so I decided to poke a little fun at the campaign. Hello, I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC. PC: I have RAM, a Motherboard, a Processor,…
