Get your ass off Twitter.

by Phil on November 18, 2009

Stop spend­ing all your time on Twit­ter talk­ing about how hard you’re crush­ing it and hus­tling, and get out there and do it.

I’ve been guilty of this as well, but hon­estly? The time for talk is over, it’s time to get in the trenches and work.

Shut your mouth and get down to busi­ness, or pre­pare to be left behind.

This is get­ting rigoddamndiculous.

by Phil October 6, 2009

Okay, lots of news, very lit­tle of which I’ll be shar­ing with you folks. Or folk. I’m pretty sure there’s only one of you. It’s been an unac­cept­ably long time since I’ve posted, I’m aware. I’m fin­ish­ing up my next TechRe­pub­li­can post right now. Once that’s posted (today or tomor­row) I’ll be redo­ing the theme […]

Twit­ter is Killing RSS

by Phil September 3, 2009

“Wow, Phil, that’s a pretty bold assump­tion!” is what you might be say­ing right now. And if you were, you’d be cor­rect. If you weren’t, well, that’s bor­ing and doesn’t really fit into my nar­ra­tive.
For those of you who may just be ven­tur­ing into the tech world or less tech­ni­cally inclined, RSS or Really Sim­ple Syndicationis […]

Social media is not just a fad.

by Phil September 3, 2009

Accord­ing to these very inter­est­ing sta­tis­tics, it’s more like a rev­o­lu­tion.
I’m not so sure on the rev­o­lu­tion part, but it’s def­i­nitely changed how I do just about every­thing. Let me know what you think. Also, stay tuned for another theme change, I’m in the process of cod­ing one but it’s my first crack at WordPress […]

Apple fail?

by Phil August 27, 2009

Let me just start off by say­ing that I love Apple prod­ucts, and I have yet to find one that has a bet­ter PC coun­ter­part (although @ken­tom­lin­son may dis­agree with me when it comes to bank servers); how­ever, Apple’s lost just a lit­tle bit of cred­i­bil­ity in my eyes with how they’ve han­dled Snow Leopard. […]

Nine ways to destroy your social network

by Phil August 25, 2009

Social media is more often than not the best way to mean­ing­fully con­nect to a large num­ber of peo­ple. That’s not sur­pris­ing when you con­sider that in the US alone there are more than 14 mil­lion Twit­ter users and 75 mil­lion Face­book users. If you want to have an active, vibrant social net­work that listens […]

Check me out on WooCamp

by Phil August 24, 2009

Any­one famil­iar with Adii’s (@adii) work has prob­a­bly already read his post, but a few weeks ago he asked sev­eral design­ers and devel­op­ers active on Twit­ter what they thought of HTML 5 and CSS 3. There’s a lot of excel­lent insight in this arti­cle, def­i­nitely check it out if you’re not famil­iar with either:

Step­ping into the bak­ery: Installing CakePHP on local­host with MAMP Pro

by Phil August 23, 2009

I think I’ve spent about six hours installing wid­gets and plu­g­ins and themes on this blog, try­ing to avoid writ­ing about some­thing. The truth is, the few top­ics I could come up with didn’t seem appro­pri­ate for a first post. Most of them were too involved, or some­thing I didn’t want to spend sev­eral hours […]
