I just recently added the Digg It buttons on here. I had to do some debugging to try to get it to work properly, so I figured I’d pass along my work for anyone else to use. There are two things that I did to make it work right: Modify the posts loop on the [...]
I writing this post not from my home in Oregon, but from Boise, Idaho. Some colleagues and I are in Boise visiting our campus here for work. When we setup this trip last week I got to thinking about airport wifi, and how I was very glad that the airports in both Portland and Boise [...]

I’ve put up a little demo site of my own. The creation environment is all AJAX-ified, and is really clean and [...]
Are you looking for a way to build a lightweight website with minimal graphics…and do it with rounded corners? You can use the Mozilla specific CSS (-moz-border-radius), but the rounded corners will only appear for Mozilla based browsers. I guess that works if your site only works on Mozilla browsers, but there aren’t really (m)any [...]
