The latest X-Men is out, and being the fanboy that I am, I went to see it on opening night. When it comes to comics, X-Men holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved the ferocity of the character Wolverine, and I loved the dynamics of the X-Men team in the comic books. [...]

X-Men III: The Last Stand
Immigration
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted Tuesday to fine employers who hire illegal immigrants up to $20,000 for each unauthorized worker, providing teeth to a broad immigration bill before sending it to a final vote later this week.
Employers would have to check Social Security numbers and the immigration status of all new hires within 18 [...]
SlideShowPro Director
Taking SlideShowPro a step further, DomineyDesign just released SlideShowPro Director, a browser-based application that let’s you manage slideshows. It installs on any Linux server with PHP/MySQL, has an intuitive Ajax-driven user interface for managing all your photos, creates thumbnails in a snap, plus a whole lot more. The demo is quite impressive. I hope compatibility [...]
Live Redesign
Nevermind the mess. I’ll be updating the look and feel of the site live over the coming weeks. I’ve been toying with a few concepts in Photoshop, and have finally decided on a direction to take. I had hoped to just unveil a new design, and I certainly still could… but I feel like this [...]
Reply?
If you printed out an email that you had received and it had a ‘Reply’ button on it, would you assume by pressing the button, you could respond to the email? I seriously couldn’t have taken that support call… God bless our email support guys.
Cork’d
Cork’d is a delightfully refreshing niche site devoted to reviewing and sharing experiences with wine. Developed by Dan Cederholm (SimpleBits) and Dan Benjamin (Hivelogic), Cork’d allows you to rate the wines you’ve tasted, keep track of the wine you own, and shop for the wines you’d like to buy.
I’m going to be honest here: I [...]
MacBook, Whoa.
So, let me get this straight, Apple… It’s $1299 for the top-end white MacBook, and it’s $1499 for the black MacBook, and the only differences being the enclosure color and 20Gb extra hard drive space? You’re not serious, right? Should we expect black to cost more in the future on all Mac products?
Sure, one could [...]
Rise of Legends
I picked up the anxiously awaited sequel to Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends, over the weekend. It is, in a word, amazing.
The Quest
It took a fair amount of time, but I completed all 24 puzzles of The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. Ever since finishing up on May 11, I’ve been anxiously awaiting whether or not I would be one of the 10,000 finalists eligible for the grand prize. I’m happy to report, that yesterday evening I received the confirmation email that I had hoped to receive: I am indeed one of the lucky few. [Honestly though, I was just stoked to find out I'd get a free Cryptex for making it this far. :)]
Change is Coming
Inspired by the amazing redesigns of Bryan Veloso (AvalonStar) and Jeff Croft I am more motivated than ever to do something about my site. I had hoped to have something ready in time for the Spring CSS Reboot, but the May 1st deadline came and went. So now, I’m being a little more realistic and I’m giving myself more time to plan and execute an all-new cdharrison.com.
