Redesign using the 960 Grid System / Oct 02, 2009
I redesigned my site using the 960 Grid System, which is basically a standards compliant CSS framework. The purpose of this system is to simplify or streamline the web design process by using commonly used dimensions and spacing based on a 960 pixel width. I like the way it turned out, everything aligns up, spacing [...]
Buffalo Bills Fail In 2009 Opener @ New England / Sep 19, 2009
As a Bills fan, I for one didn’t like the idea of their first game of the 2009 Season a divisional, Monday Night Game at New England. Although I feel we always play the Patriots pretty tough and we always have a chance for an upset, the Patriots are just a better team with more [...]
Kings Of Leon @ The Joint / Aug 27, 2009
I went to my first concert since they opened The Joint at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel. The stage/arena is really nice and roomy, the special effects were good, drinks were reasonably priced and both bands’ performances were also really good. The Wigs, opened for The Kings Of Leon both had the same slow [...]
Criss Angel Believe / Jun 24, 2009
A friend of mine that works in the stage crew offered me a couple tickets for the Criss Angel Believe show at the Luxor yesterday. I’ve herd nothing but bad reviews about the show but the tickets were free I figured I’d see it for my self. My first Cirque du Soleil experience was sadly [...]
How I Killed My iPhone / Mar 22, 2009
With the recent hype about iPhone 3.0 OS, I decided to jump the gun and try installing 3.0 in it’s beta stages on my own iPhone, which resulted in the death of my iPhone. First, I downloaded the iPhone 3.0 restore file (iPhone1,2_3.0_7A238j_Restore.ipsw) via bit torrent and attempted to manually restore my iPhone from iTunes [...]
Atlantic City Recap / Mar 10, 2009
I took a short trip last week to the NYC/Jersey area for a business meeting and to visit a friend. I also wanted to check out Atlantic City, since I’ve never been there and heard the action was pretty decent on the tables. We stayed in a suite at the Trump Marina, had a nice [...]
Safari 4 Beta / Feb 24, 2009
Today Apple released Safari 4 Beta, which is their latest web browser and so far I’m impressed. I can say it’s very elegant, user friendly and feature rich. If your interested in trying out a new browser or if you’re still running IE be sure to give Safari a try, you can download for Mac [...]
Better Anchor Text On WordPress Post Excerpts / Feb 23, 2009
I tend to use post excerpts (the_excerpt) on the home page and archive views of a blog rather than full posts (the_content). Using the excerpt controls the size of each post and provides a clean interface for readers to scan content. However, I think it’s better to have a permalink with custom anchor text trailing [...]
