Nested Lists – Web Development 101
Recently I was debugging a problem on a site I’m developing. As it turns out the issue dealt with a script I was using for the site navigation, which was an unordered list of links for the pages of the site. The list contained nested lists that were links for sub-sections of the site. Unable to come up with a quick fix on my own after going through my code, I turned to a web development technical forum for assistance. After the first response, I found myself wishing I had spent a little more time looking for the answer on my own.

Waze: Social Media Meets Turn-By-Turn Navigation
With GPS becoming a standard feature in mobile phones, there are now plenty of apps out there that provide the same turn-by-turn functions. Most people view this service as a tool, to get you where you want to go without ever needing to ask for directions. Waze is an app that builds on the standard GPS navigation service by keeping users plugged in to the world of social media, and does so quite well.

Web Design Lessons Learned from Changing My Air Filter
Last week I finally got around to changing the air filter in my central A/C unit. It was way overdue for a new filter. Changing the filter is a task that I absolutely hate. It’s something that I have to prepare for both physically and mentally. Physically because I have to dress for the journey, wearing pants and an old shirt with long sleeves to protect myself from the unknown. Mentally because if I don’t put myself in Indiana Jones mode, I may not return from the Temple of Doom that is the crawlspace under my house.
AT&T: What A Joke
For the past few months, I’ve noticed that coverage with AT&T where I live has progressively gotten worse. It’s so bad now that I can’t really count on AT&T at all anymore for important calls. There are 3 different phones I use (including my wife’s) on AT&T, and the service has been consistent on each. I figured I’d put matters in my own hands with the MicroCell, but that product is a joke itself, but that’s a different matter altogether.
Google Buzz – Revisited
When Google Buzz first came out, everyone was talking about it. Was it going to be a Twitter killer? Was it going to be the biggest weapon in Google’s arsenal to take on Facebook? Privacy concerns…what?!?
