New Photo Collections

Today I uploaded photos from hemophilia camp, the dean’s party, and the trip to Seattle.

Get a Mac

I love these ads - especially “virus” and “restart.” I use PC’s everyday at work and at home and I love the things I can do with Microsoft Windows XP, but my primary machine is an Apple iMac. If you haven’t had the pleasure of using Mac OS X then you are really missing out. Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for revolutionizing personal computing - but some of the criticism they get is also justified.

These ads obviously tout Macs and Mac OS X - and poke a little fun at Windows PC’s. They’ve been getting quite a lot of airtime on TV in the past few weeks but if you haven’t seen them yet you should head on over to Apple’s website and check them out. Note: Apple QuickTime is required.

Treehouse Magazine

One of my favorite resrouces for web design and development information is Treehouse Magazine. However, it looks like the April edition will be the last - at least for now…

And so it is at this latest milestone, that we’ve decided that it’s time for us to take a hiatus from our dear Treehouse.

Till we return, we’ve decided to release content periodically on our site, old and new. Until, then, thanks everyone for a great half trip.

I hope their new venture is a success - and that Treehouse will be back in production sometime soon.

If it’s good enough for Mr. Zeldman…

Jeffrey Zeldman has relaunched his site and after nearly eleven years of hand-coding he’s made the switch to WordPress. I’ve tried just about every weblog content management system over the past five years and have never found the one that perfectly suits my style. However, if Mr. Zeldman believes WordPress is the right tool for the job then it must be so…
