Intuit TurboTax Makes the IRS Look Good
Strike One… today was tax day. I wasn’t really looking forward to doing my taxes, but I want to get them completed with plenty of time left. Having a part-time business (that currently loses money) makes keeping records absolutely necessary and I hate records. So I basically have a file cabinet that I shove notes, receipts, and mileage logs into.…
So I Says…
Bill’s friend, Mike, drew a great picture of me while I was working. Mike has a very bizarre but creative sense of humor that I love. He’s a talented guy… so we gave him a website for his birthday! Thanks, Mike!
Understanding Spheres
Blogosphere is one of those non-sense terms that most people can't stand but when you look at the Internet and how sites move up and down, it really is a sphere of influence. Read more about how you can drive from the outskirts of the web to the A-list.
What happened on your Birthday?
There was a time that I cringed when my birthday was coming. What happened on my birthday? April 19th has some really interesting events happen on it… the U.S.S. Iowa explosion, Wako, Oklahoma city… ugh. Going back in history, it doesn’t get much better. It was the day that the American Revolution started! What happened on your Birthday?

OpenID Installed and at the Ready!
If you’ve not heard about OpenID, it’s an interesting new technology on the web. Given all of the different websites and logins/passwords that one needs to remember these days, this technology could be either a blessing or a curse. On the bright side is the fact that you store your encrypted login and password on your server and anytime you…

SPAM of the Day
Even with all the SPAM filters in the world, I still get SPAM. I hate SPAM, but I have to admit one of my guilty pleasures as I scan through the SPAM, I tend to read some. I quickly scan them to try to identify things that were caught by the filter that were valid comments. Every once in a…

WordPress: How to Build And Publish A Tag Cloud
It may seem a bit outdated, but I still appreciate the usefulness of tag clouds. Internally, tag clouds visually display what the focus of my content has been and allow me to identify whether I’m writing too much content about some terms and, perhaps, not enough about terms that I should be writing about. What is a Tag Cloud? A…
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. If you’re one of those bloggers that likes to support it, don’t bother writing a post – have WordPress automatically…
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. Every modern web developer (or application) should follow these ten commandments. There are fancy programming terms that can be thrown out for all of these; however, my goal was to…
What to buy the Geek who has everything?
I sent out a card to all my ‘ladies’ at work today for Valentines day (I hope their husbands and boyfriends didn’t mind): What I didn’t expect was the fantastic gift I found on my desk waiting for me when I got to work from Jane Bug (my favorite Account Manager in the world). Check out this gift! I love…
