Keeping the train rolling on down those tracks
Friday, April 17, 2009
I've just received some of the best news of my professional career. I'm so very pleased to announce that I've accepted a position as a designer with the Online/Software/Jedi division of The World Company in Lawrence, Kansas—Mediaphormedia and I couldn't be more excited about it.
The best way to clear floats
Thursday, November 06, 2008
When working with HTML and CSS, I always want to find the best technique for solving a certain problem and use it every time. This philosophy can be very frustrating when the solution to certain problems is rather ambiguous, or certain problems can be solved in multiple ways, each with their own drawbacks. Using CSS to clear floats is a great example of a problem with many solutions, none of which is absolutely ideal.
Now featuring Django 1.0
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
After quite a bit of effort and trolling around on Django's google groups, I've finally migrated my website to use Django 1.0.

The main benefit that I see from this is not having to worry as much about backwards compatibility as Django moves forward.

Having designed and coded my first Django-powered website just over one year ago, I decided it was time for some much needed changes. Thankfully, in the last year a lot of really cool django apps have come out that helped me get back up and running quickly.
ESPN: fix your domain already
Monday, January 14, 2008
The espn.com website is one of my favorite resources. I use it all the time to get updates on scores, check my team's stats, schedules, research the competition etc. In short, I spend a lot of time on espn.com in a given day. Apparently, I'm not alone, espn.com is one of the most visited sites on the Web. They have an incredible user base that probably spends just as much time as I do on their website, and no doubt with the growing mobile Internet market, their user base is continuing to expand. That said, why would one of the largest and most successful websites on the Internet want their domain to be 'espn.go.com' and not 'espn.com'?
