Brooke and I are deep in the PHP trenches these days, parsing our way through the ifs, elses and thens of C-based protocol. Being relative newbies to this particular domain, we’re learning that programming can be an unforgiving beast, and you confuse its symbology at your own peril. Here’s a guide to some of the [...]

So, while I wasn’t looking, my first anniversary of being a Louisvillian (a term rife with possibility) came, then went, which was surprisingly anti-climactic. Despite the predictions of certain miscreants, I have not, as of yet, plumbed those depths of musical possibility offered by the Hooting Jug, nor have I evolved a mandibular appendage that [...]

I’ve not written about it here before, but I’m, at most, two shades from being a full-blown WordPress evangelist. Have you heard the good news? WordPress is awesome! It’s clean, it’s lean, it’s mean and it gets done what needs doin’. ...and now it won’t support Internet Explorer 6. I should be giddy, right? IE6 [...]

Brian

Okay, so, time to admit it...I kinda like Facebook! Yes, okay, so does everyone, to a point. However, ubiquity is its own enemy, and the long-awaited Facebook Backlash has been in full effect for a while now. First came the privacy outcry. Then The Social Network. Now that the inevitable articles (warning - naughty language [...]

So, my mom called me up a few days ago to tell me that she was going to try and get a grant to make a smart phone app. This all but caused me whiplash while I nervously scanned the landscape for legions of rampaging, weaponized Tyrannosaurs or other signs of mass, global higgledy-piggledy. It [...]

Googling Forward

Googling Forward With a modest bit of fanfare, Google Chrome managed to capture 10% of the overall browser share last month, which puts exactly where they expected to be.

Since the blog’s recent upgrade, we’ve had some fairly interesting chatter come down the pipes. Angela’s recent piece on Lemonade: Detroit was picked up on by the film’s producer/director, Erik Proulx, who left a happy, hopeful note, thanking Angela for her support. More recently,  Earndit co-founder Andres Moran commented on Dennis’ blog entry about the [...]

Future Perfect?

Added by Brian Solomon on November 23rd, 2010, filed under Technology

future

It’s strange to keep remembering that, even while our daily lives remain fairly recognizable, the future keeps happening. Quantum teleportation? Done, to a range of ten miles, just this May. Remember how everyone pretended to be afraid that the Large Hadron Collider was going to destroy the world in its singularity-inducing quest to find the [...]
