I don’t really have an office that I work from on a daily basis. I’m normally either working onsite with a client most of the time, or if I’m not onsite I usually prefer to work from my local independent coffee shop or Starbucks if I need an office that’s "open late".

When I’m working onsite with a client though I’m almost always packing in a Dell 17" LCD monitor with me to setup and work with while there. You see, I’ve started working with dual-monitors and now I can’t hardly stand to work without them. Thus always carrying around …read more

There’s now a WordPress application for BlackBerry that allows users to manage and post to their WordPress blogs from their phone. I’ve been waiting on an application like this for years and it looks like I’ll still be waiting.

Although the BlackBerry app is in beta and the developers caution users and testers to be careful in using the application, we need more of these types of devices being built for phones and mobile devices.
I do quite a bit of blogging and there’s plenty of times where I’m sitting somewhere without my computer and have a quick post idea. The ability …read more

I’ve been blogging now on WordPress for quite some time. Over the years I’ve migrated from relying completely on the WordPress dashboard web-interface to write my posts, up through now using and loving Windows Live Writer. Now I’m ready to expand my blogging migration to other areas.

I want to be able to type out some quick blog posts while I’m out and about with my cell phone. My cell phone has a full, slide-out keyboard that I’ve become quite adept at typing on efficiently.
I’m very surprised that the WordPress dashboard doesn’t have a mobile friendly interface. Without that option available …read more

In college football, it’s all about recruiting.
Laugh if you will, but your team won’t be coachable to any kind of championship if you don’t draw talented players. And these days, the best players have their pick of schools pretty much. With the talent comes a winning season, and with the wins comes money. As sad as it may be, college football really is a business, and without cash flow, you get canned as a recruiter or coach so that the school can bring in someone who CAN make the money reign down.
Auburn gets that, so they’re upping the ante. Last …read more

Over the course of the past few days I’ve spoken to two friends who are considering getting a Netbook. One of them is a Mac user. He’s thinking of getting a netbook having tried one of our friend’s HP Mini-Note.
The MacBook Air is the closest thing that Apple has to an ultraportable. The Air is thin and light but the 13″ screen still makes it a wide laptop. It’s also quite expensive. The starting price for the Air is $1800.
Compare that to netbooks such as the Mini-Note which have 10-11 inch screens and priced somewhere between $400-$700 dollars. But …read more
