Derrick Story’s take on the future of development is that The Mac is Computing’s New Common Ground.
After just one day at the Mac OS X Conference in Santa Clara, I can tell you that Mac OS X seems to be the new common ground for computing.
While sitting in the break area amid glowing [...]

Sitepoint just published a great article on selecting someone to help you with search engine optimization. It’s a good quick overview of how to select someone, and how to analyze the performance of any search engine marketing campaigns. At the end, the author points to this Search Engine Optimization report from Sherpa as [...]

Scott’s right, this article, Seven tricks that Web users don’t know, is amazing, from a statistical perspective. And today, I spent time with a professional designer (who actually uses his computer as a tool, not an extension of his being) that really didn’t know how to navigate around his own website. He was [...]

Andy makes some great points on his weblog in response to a /. post on the subject of ‘needing a lawyer.’
Andy’s dead on in his ‘How to Pick a Lawyer?’ answers. Thanks Andy.

Then I hacked the RDF feed to have the entire first paragraph in it, until [...]

Today was a rough day.
I got up late, checked email, answered a few personal emails that had to be answered, and headed to work. I arrived about 20 minutes late, but my boss was out of the office all day, so while I was late, there will be no reprocussions…
I’m the guy responsible for [...]

While I’m not a shareware author, and never plan to be (though it was a dream of mine long ago to become a programmer) this first article, in a new series on about starting a shareware business, piques my interest, because it’s about starting a business. To my simple mind, starting a business is [...]

Ok, I’ll admit I don’t know much about much of what Jeremy wrote about in this article, but I do appreciate his opinion…
Ok, that’s not totally accurate, I know about most of what he wrote about, but I don’t know any of the details, or how to actually do anything with them… in essence, [...]
