Erase it all
I sometimes wish I could just delete everything I’ve posted here and make a better effort at providing interesting content.
I also wish Tumblr would let me have a home screen that I could manage apart from my “content” with links to my articles and pages…then of course they’d be turning Tumblr into a CMS rather than a tumble log service. I guess I’ll have to...

Marco.org: A Verizon reality check →
It’s easy to glorify Verizon as an iPhone owner, because AT&T is so awful. But Verizon sucks, too — just in different ways, for the most part. I’ve been a Verizon Wireless customer since 2004: phones for the first 4 years, and data via tethering and EVDO modems for the entire time. I recently…

Really?
I seriously can’t find Senior PHP developers. I’ve never taken more than four weeks to find a new developer, but for some reason we just can’t find someone we like for the position.
If by some magical chance I get on the Tumblr radar and you see this and you are or know a PHP developer local to Northern Jersey (10minute train ride out of NY Penn) get in touch.

Computers
maniacalrage:
Someone at a bar last weekend said to me, after asking for software advice, “I refuse to use a crApple.”
I asked why—ignoring the “crApple” bit—which I shouldn’t have done, because when someone says something that ridiculous it isn’t worth talking more about their computer habits. But I’m a glutton for punishment. He said, “Because it only has one mouse button.”
I laughed...

They Did Authorize Torture, But …

Whatever else you might say about John Yoo, the former Justice Department lawyer who drafted several memos in 2002 authorizing the CIA to commit torture, you have to admit that he’s not in the least embarrassed by the condemnation of his peers. On February 19, the Justice Department released a set of previously confidential reports by...

Patrick Bateman: Well, you can always be thinner... look better.

I really dislike Tumblarity
amandaduncan:
What is “Tumblarity” anyway? I know it’s supposed to be a way to make me feel competitive and write more blogs, but instead makes me feel a tad belittled. Almost as if Tumblr is mocking me and saying “You aren’t as popular as these people…ahahahaha!” It’s like high school all over again! I just want to know how many freakin views my blog has! This is why I still have my trusty...

To Connected?
I’m starting to wonder if all these ‘social media’ sites I use are all to aware of each other.
I’ve been using my real name for some time now instead of a screen name. This is great because it allows me to have a presence on the internet, but this is horrible because now I have a presence on the internet.
If I use Tumblr to talk about some jackass or post a picture I...

Version 1 is now live!
The project I’ve been heading up with EFS has finally gone live. Brand new PHP5 platform that is easily extend-able and maintainable; not to mention pretty fucking fast.
We’ve had plenty of obstacles to navigate, but finally - it is done and live.
I’m pretty proud of what my team and I put together.
