Redesign

Friday, January 19th, 2007

As you can see I have done a little redesign. I’m happy with it but I think I might try something else in a month or two, I just wanted to get an updated look and feel to the site. I haven’t updated the site since my portfolio class and it was looking pretty old school! I don’t do much design work any more, hopefully this can motivate me to start messing around more with layouts and everything since I’m always reading all the blogs on certain techniques or what not.

There are still be some bugs, so I will be looking for them. If you notice any please let me know. I hope you guys like it and feel free to leave any constructive criticism. I’m not completely happy with how everything turned out so I won’t be offended. Its a great improvement to what I previously had and glad I had some time to not be lazy and actually get it up here.

I haven’t been posting a lot lately, well simply because I just haven’t been to inspired to write about much going on. I have been working on a lot of new things for my career in the near future and hope to update you guys all that in a couple of weeks.

From: Cameron Moll “Why the iPhone wont revolutionize the mobile web landscape”

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

With all the talk and hype about Apple’s new iPhone, Cameron Moll wrote an article describing his thoughts on what the iPhone will do for the mobile web. What better person to tell us what they think then the person leading the field in mobile web development and in the process of writing a book on it.

I would get the phone if it were going to be made for Verizon but of course its for Cingular so no chance in me getting it anytime soon. I just don’t like so much of this hype about the end of desktop computers and all.

UPDATE:
Jeff Croft post some great reasons why Apple is blowing all the other Cell Phone manufacturers out of the water and that they won’t be able to catch up. He predicts that the iPhone isn’t being released for six months because it is going to be running OS X Leopard. After reading this article I would say his points are correct and no one will be able to top Apple or come close.

Contact Form

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Just a quick post to let you guys know, my contact form doesn’t seem to be working properly so please post here if you have tried to contact me and I will get back with you. It seems to be some server settings and I noticed a couple of people have submitted it today but when I get the email it is blank. Maybe tomorrow I will try a different PHP form and see if that works.

UPDATE: Well I talked to one of the hosting people and they fixed it, so if you submitted my contact form yesterday do it again I guess if you read this.
