I’m always surfing Apple’s AppStore looking for new (and useful) apps for my trusty iPhone. I have to say that I haven’t been terribly impressed with the current offerings at the AppStore, and I’m sure a lot of that has to do with the steep learning curve of developing a decent app. Not to mention […]
In these economically straining times, you may have found yourself on the receiving end of the dreaded pink-slip. If so, I’m really sorry. Layoffs seem to have become perfectly acceptable these days – and for many businesses, it’s the first bailout option that management uses. It’s not right — and when it’s your turn to make […]
I have worked in many different places in many different capacities, including owning my own business for a brief stint. I know first-hand the problems with keeping a bad client – regardless of how much value you believe they are bringing to your company. I have worked at places where we have lost several of […]

Some of my observations may be obsolete – though after playing around with the new BBEdit and Espresso, I still stand by my conclusions in this review. You might […]
I have long wondered about the appeal of having song clips as your phone ringtone. Quite frankly, I just don’t get it. Much like I didn’t get the time I went to a club and people were trying to dance to a Nine Inch Nails song. Don’t get me wrong. Being able to change the […]
A little bit ago I posted about SoDA but I did not know exactly what the program was and I have yet to receive any updates on it. Today, I decided to follow-up and see if I could gain any more knowledge on this new organization – and trusty ol’ Google didn’t disappoint – granted […]
