The Select tag in HTML is the code used to create a simple drop-down list on the web. In its simplest form, its usage is for organizing a long list of options and allowing a user to click one item from the list. One of the most common usages of it can be found as…
Of course I’ll reserve a feet first bandwagon jump on the emerging device called The Bloom box at this point but I am curious to see where it goes. The box – about the size of a kid’s shoe box – is a fuel-cell driven, mini-power plant that is touted to be able to power…
If you’re not using Vimeo for your video hosting needs, you’re existence on this planet should be questioned. Not only did they just launch the ability to view videos in full-screen 1080p HD but they have also just made my life eight-hundred times easier by allowing me to upload the files directly from my camera…
Unit Interactive out of Plano just launched a pretty nifty tool today called Unify that offers the ability for me to take your static HTML website and give you some functionality into editing it down the road. For the cost of some tacos plus my hourly rate to install, you could be rocking the updates…
Sometimes I make things up just to see if you’ll believe me. In some circles it’s called lying but I like to think of it as a little game between us. When it comes to browser usage, I don’t make things up. Unless I have to. According to my latest stats, too many of you…
In many ways, I view Search Engine Optimization and its “experts” as modern day snake oil and snake oil salesman, respectively. There are far too many people out there that express that they are experts that end up duping gullible clients into thinking that they will score the world for them. Clients should know that…
I can admit that I still have a lot to learn about what I do. One of the areas I need to improve my knowledge in is accessibility of my sites for those with disabilities. The following is an impressive 9 minute video demonstration by Aaron Cannon who among other things is blind since birth.…
We have been Netflix customers for a while now and have no complaints about the service whatsoever. The wife and I have discussed it before noting that package design and the timeliness of each order must be due to the fact that they are automated in some way or another. Boy was I off. http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2007/08/23/netflix/…
Thought it won’t be pushed to auto updates right away, you can get your copy from Microsoft’s site around Noon EST. Here’s to hoping I get the opportunity to bad-mouth it far less than I have for their last two versions. It is now time for IE6 to go away forever. Hear that corporate America?…

With Apple and Adobe’s dispute over getting Flash to play on the iPhone always in full-force, it’s nice to see that somebody is smart enough to get video onto the iPhone in a different direction. Just announced this morning is a free app from CBS called TV.com. While it is still only CBS (the only…
For all of the liking/linking I do of Sony Bravia and their great TV ads, they should be providing me one for the trouble. In the latest they have moved away from the ‘Colour like no other’ to showing off the smoothest motion picture possible on a TV. In doing so they built the world’s…
This is the church that – when I decided to get out of bed in college – I attend on a semi-regular basis. Funny thing is, I consider them one of the most conservative churches in their area. Pretty surprising to see them using social media like Youtube to promote.
A pretty sweet new way of interfacing with computers and technology from MIT Grad Student David Merrill. He’s smart. (via Tacia Aspen)
Every now and then I have to out myself as a computer nerd. My excitement of the following solidifies my status for another week or two. We just moved from our satellite dish to Verizon for TV to combine both our Internet and TV on FiOS. Along with saving $70/month over our previous setup, they…
Impressive picture created from over 220 individual still shots taken during the inauguration this week. You can almost count the nose-hairs on most of the dignitaries up front. Since it is a combination of photos you will see a few abnormalities. Like Aretha Franklin’s goatee. Or guys with four eyes, two faces and even a…
That didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III saved 155 lives by setting his plane down on the Hudson, you can purchase apparel promoting him to a new position. Draft Sully for Secretary of Transportation Which kudos do you give for that? Capitalism? Technology?
