• My Experience As A Volunteer At Wordcamp Boston (with Session Slides) #wcbos

    Wordcamp Boston 2010Now that it’s over I wanted to write about how great Wordcamp Boston was. Check out #wcbos or #bestwordcampever if you need more proof. Or you can relive it on the live blog. I first found out about it a couple weeks before the tickets went on sale, and I immediately wanted to go. The next thing I heard was that tickets were sold out….bummer. I didn’t even know they went on sale and they were already gone. Luckily I happened to see they still needed volunteers, which I was willing to settle for even though I wouldn’t be able to see and do everything I wanted when I wanted, and I would have to do work. I just wanted to be apart of it, and I was one of those chosen to volunteer so I would be able to go after all

  • 25 Unbelievably Inspiring Works Of Art – Masters Of Design

    It’s time for another dose of design inspiration. I think it’s necessary for designers to look at others work often to help expanding the imagination of creativity. It opens you up to more ideas and things that you wouldn’t normally even think of or consider doing yourself.

speedpcThis is a really really old blog post I made way back when I started doing anything that involved computers. I mean so old that I originally posted this on my Myspace blog, and then again on Tweeaks before it was hacked. It’s a good tutorial though, and worth re-posting for a third time here on the new Tweeaks blog. It can help you learn how to remove items that load when your computer starts up, which can slow down the startup process. The more things you have running, the slower it will be.

adblockeEveryone gets sick of all the thousands of advertisements seen on the internet, on just about every website you visit, at any given time.

Otherwise you may use Safari, and have installed PithHelmet to block ads on your Mac. Another addon I just found out about is Adsweep, but like the others it can block a lot of ads, but not of them.

Chrome ExplorerYou probably agree that Internet Explorer 6 needs to just die already, so we can move on. It is a nightmare in every way. It has very poor security, and doesn’t support PNG transparency, CSS 2 or HTML 5. The day IE6 is dies would be a day of celebration and rejoicing among web designers and developers world wide. There is something that can be done to make IE6 better in the meantime though, until it’s final day of reckoning comes. Keep reading to find out what

I just re-installed Windows on my laptop, because there was something seriously wrong with it, and I didn’t feel like trying to figure out what the problem was. So I just backed up my pictures, and a few other things, and then wiped everything out.
