This evening I watched President Obama address the nation with regards to the debt ceiling controversy that has been raging in DC and beyond for a few months now. I also watched Speaker Boehner’s response to President. Both men made it clear that it’s the opposing party’s inability to compromise that is “holding the economy [...]
The internet is constantly evolving, and as the owner and lead developer for a web development studio, I am in the constant state of re-teaching myself how it is that I perform the work I do. While I imagine workers in most fields need to keep aware of whatever is occurring in their profession [...]
One of my favorite things to do is cook. I was lucky enough to grow up in a home with fresh cooked meals prepared nightly (not including Friday pizza night of course) – and so shortly after college when I found myself living out on my own, I began to try to teach myself how [...]
