I posted last week about SOPA and what a broadly written and poorly constructed chunk of legal feces it is splattering on the pavement of technological democracy. Descending now into the maelstrom of controversy[reddit] is GoDaddy, whom among other things has been accused of “Writing the SOPA bill”, blocking ICANN transfers away from registrar, waffling, [...]
I know, I’m now in the esteemed company of folks who post political items on their Facebook wall. Now by nature I’m a lurker on that network but I have felt a responsibility of late to shout from the digital rooftops warnings about SOPA (H.R.3261). For many years old growth media like MPAA, RIAA, Time Warner have been attempting to control [...]
Under extreme heat and pressure, carbon becomes diamond. You could say there’s been a little operational duress in my situation lately. The greatest by far occurred when 30 short days ago, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen appeared in my life (my daughter). She picked a hell of a time to arrive. I [...]

Especially when developing web applications in PHP, older versions of IE (looking at you, versions 6 & 7) can be a real bear. Countless CSS issues aside, Microsoft built these versions in manner that seems to have [...]
I just wrote a post about the commoditization of programming; whenever this subject comes up, likewise the contentious issue of outsourcing. Some years ago I found myself involved in a startup which I was completely and overwhelmingly glad to be a part of. I had written some smaller scaled web software in the vertical which their management was very [...]

Recently I created a new Google Adwords PPC campaign targeting the Display network of Adwords. The other day I checked and found several hundred dollars of bogus clicks(more on that in a sec). For the uninitiated, the Display Network AKA the “Content Network” is the publisher’s side of Adwords, where just about anyone can submit [...]
I found myself looking for a piece of code to decode mobile user agent strings. You know, the value coming from $_SERVER['USER_AGENT'], that is completely unusable to either user or developer in its raw form. Keep reading past the below links to find my code solution.
I found many resources such as zytrax.com A [...]
Spotify: Satan or Savior? The music discovery and listening service is quite the rage since launching in US July 2011. It promises vast track selection at $0 cost. Does a certain other [now defunct] free music service come to mind? It should, as the mastermind behind Spotify is none other than investor and entrepreneur brainchild Sean Parker, cofounder [...]
