I am honestly happier than I have ever been.

I've got great people around me, great job, great band, great weather, great food, great life.

That is all.

It's true, my band just got out of the studio.

It's also true that we leave for tour on July 2nd. If you are interested at all ( you aren't, I know, it's ok ) check the Tension Generation Myspace for more details.

Much Love ♥ ♥ ♥

Yea, I added a bear.
He is hanging out down there in the lower right hand corner.

I have no idea who created him, so the best I can do is admit that I didn't create him.

I love him though, nonetheless.

Good bear ♥♥♥ .

Real developers test in IE 5.5, IE 6, IE 7, FF Windows, FF Mac, Safari and Chrome.

I'll hop on the bandwagon and talk about how horrible IE 6 is any day, but to completely abandon the fact that people still use it widely is just idiotic.

While writing style sheets, I frequently use the Firefox web development toolbar ( duh ), but I use the "outline block level elements" feature the most.

This prevents about 90 % of layout errors across the board, in all browsers for me.

Simply check the lines to make sure nothing is overflowing into surround elements, it's really that easy to get a good start on a site that works well in most browsers.

I've decided to define my skill set more thoroughly, instead of trying to become a master of the universe
( like he-man ).

I would like to focus on PHP/MySQL ( custom object oriented PHP and trusted frameworks ), XHTML / CSS & cross-browser compatibility, Ruby and Ruby on Rails, Open source e-commerce platforms ( Magento Commerce in particular ).

I would like to get started on my RHCE certification this year too.

Also worth noting : I'm done with almost any product/solution outside of the term "open source".

I recently consolidated all of my gear into a singular 17" macbook pro (2.5 ghz peryn c2d, 4gb ram from microcenter, 512 mb graphics card, 8600 gt m).

Let me also say that I am not a apple fanboy at all, but they do have specifically tested hardware that meets my needs as a developer pretty well.

Software : Adobe CS3 Design Premium (yes, I know, you hate me because I use Adobe), Virtual Box 2.XX (loaded with SuSe 10 and Windows XP SP2 for compatibility testing),and MAMP (amazing local testing stack, PHP Version 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.41, Apache Server 5.0.41). I also use the built in packages for Ruby on Rails development that come installed with OSX 10.5 and WebBrick Sever for local rails development. OpenOffice.org takes care of all of my office needs.

I have a Windows XP partition that I use for AnyDVD, DVD Shrink, Call of Duty 4 and 5, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike.

I get things done, that's for sure.

OK. I want this. Real bad. Bear Sleeping Bag . Remarkable.

Now Available, the WTF Blanket.

Keep tabs on your computers innards with IStat Menu for OSX.

Cost? Free 99.

Most likely the funniest guy on the planet. Would he be as funny if he were shorter? I think his height might have some impact on how funny he is...

Auxillary test subjects should include : Conan O'Brien and Vince Vaughn.

P.S. Watch Step Brothers please.

I predict that people will still be using internet explorer 5.5 or 6 in the year 2015. Additionally, I predict that my life will be awesome in 2015 thanks to robot maids.

I'm 99% sure that people only go to Red Lobster for the biscuits. Is that biscuit recipe patented?

The only noticable difference between having a girlfriend and not having a girlfriend is having to or not having to explain your Jessica Alba desktop wallpaper. Why am I single?

Easily the dumbest application in history to be built with PHP/MySQL.
