Being a full-time web developer and all around tech geek, I spend a lot of times with various electronic gadgets that interact with almost every waking moment of my life. And considering I use my iPhone as an alarm clock, I guess I depend on several of them when I’m sleeping as well. Once you [...]
The first week of 2011 has come to an end, and my what a week.
A visit to the oral surgeon on Monday confirmed that I had a cavity in one of my wisdom teeth, and based on the dentist’s recommendation, I opted to have all four wisdom teeth removed at once. As luck would have [...]
An old school-mate of mine who happens to share my interest in web design and serial entrepreneurship recently completed a challenge he devised called 100 Goals In 100 Days. The concept is simple – list out 100 goals, and complete them in 100 days. As someone who recognizes the power in setting goals – this seemed like a great [...]
I’m flying down to San Francisco at the moment – 20000 feet in the sky – writing a blog post on my iPad. In fact, minus a few obvious items like clothes and an assortment of travel size bathroom products – I brought little more than my iPhone and iPad on this trip.

This episode is actually a composite of two design reviews we had over the past couple weeks. I love my clients – but sometimes you really [...]
On Sunday I was cleaning up my apartment, and decided the two Netflix DVDs sitting on top of the stereo had been here long enough (unwatched) – so I packaged them up and on Monday dropped them in the mailbox on my way to work. I arrived home today to have two new DVDs waiting [...]
On the far end of the Dingle Peninsula of Ireland, out past the quaint little fishing village that is its namesake, are a series of stone bee-hive shaped dwellings in a circular formation, surrounded by a stone-wall and sitting on the side of a hillside overlooking Dingle Bay and further out over the Atlantic Ocean.
