With the announcements yesterday about the new iPhone and the new pricing schemes, many investors sold off some of their stock.  This is not unusual for Apple though, as their stock almost always loses value the day anything new is announced.  I think it is a case of super high expectations and nothing Apple can [...]

Site Speed Improvements

May 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Thanks to an article on Michael Aulia’s blog, I was able to improve my overall site loading speed somewhat by reducing the number of posts on my main page.
There is a tool that will analyze page load speeds and report back which elements of your pages are loading slow.
After running the tool I could see [...]

Rock Band..Hero?

May 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Complete the Spin Cycle

April 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

I mentioned earlier in the day that I had let my car get extremely filthy and it looked like I had gone off-roading at some point in the recent past. I decided to fix that on the way home and gave her a quick spin through the automatic car wash to restore some shine [...]
