Why do I love WordPress?
June 7th, 2009I got interviewed (briefly) while at answering the question “Why do you love WordPress?”.
Check out the video below for my 15 seconds of fame (literally ~ 0:15 – 0:30)… :)

Do I do Gnomedex this year?
May 12th, 2009I’m feeling the need to be at again this year. I missed last year and am kicking myself since.
I feel that I need that technological “reboot” more than ever but the big question is should I make the investment? Thinking out loud, it is an investment in myself…
Now you got me thinking…Â What to do…Â Decisions, decisions…
Sorry For The Test Post

I think I need to revisit Getting Real by 37signals
April 20th, 2009I read a few years back when it was just released and if I had dependable search for my website (which is another story / blog post in itself) I could possibly point you to some of my previous thoughts on the book…
Regardless, Getting Real is all about simplifying the typical software project and lately a lot from what I remember from the book (reading it several years ago) has been popping back up into my mind based upon some current projects that I’m involved in.
A quote that I have carried with me from reading the book several years ago is in :
Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It’s about saying NO to all but the most crucial features.
- Steve Jobs
You can buy Getting Real directly from 37signals at or read it online for free over at
I think this is going to be next on my reading list (after trying to wrap up some of these projects)… :)
Apple Store coming to downtown Naperville
April 15th, 2009As I much I as I hate to see more chain stores coming to downtown Naperville, it isn’t so bad when I can have an Apple Store within walking distance of my house. Call me a hypocrite I guess! :)
For those interested, the new Apple Store is supposed to be opening (across from ).
Apple has already and walking by the other day, construction is well under way (and no I didn’t have my phone / camera to take pics).
I, for one, am looking for a closer place to go spend my hard-earned money. Looking forward to this location opening up! :)
and just as I get into a show…
April 14th, 2009… The story of my life… :)
