Background Info Ruby on Rails has a pretty steep learning curve. I should know, I’ve been working with it all summer and I’ve just recently crossed the break-even point in my code to Google ratio. It doesn’t help that I’d never seen Ruby before. I’ve been working with PHP off and on for over 10 […]
I’ve been using this term for quite a while now and most developers can relate. The internet is an amazing thing. I don’t know where I would be without it.

My wife is currently in graduate school to become a speech and language pathologist. She was looking for a way to practice phonetics and was looking for an app that allowed her to text and email phonetically.

On August 21st Kevin Rose blogged that the Apple TV would “Change Everything”. I too was anticipating, and expecting, some type of living […]
If Geolocation wasn’t mainstream before last week it is now. When Facebook launched “Places” over 500 million users were exposed to the latest craze in the social internet. I started using Foursquare in 2009 and had since given up. I got tired of trying to check into airports while only finding gate numbers. Got tired […]
