  • Accessing the Basecamp API with Excel/VBA

    Accessing the Basecamp API with Excel/VBA. This could be an awesome way to generate weekly reports for clients… the sky’s the limit. Nice work, Chris.

  • The Price of Fuel

    I drive a lot. I commute 50+ miles a day, and I fill-up my GMC Sierra 1500 with gas at least once a week. Ever since Sidebar Creative’s MyMileMarker.com was released, I’ve been using it to keep track of my fuel usage. It is the first solution that I’ve stuck with to keep track of…

  • Webb Alert

    Morgan Webb has a new video podcast available covering the latest tech news and whatnot. It’s still in its infancy, but it’s short and to the point. If you’re not sure who Morgan Webb is, you’ve probably been living under a rock… and we seriously need to reevaluate your geek cred ;) (But seriously, she’s the…

  • Testing Trillian Astra

    So, I’ve been testing out the latest version of Trillian, Trillian Astra (v4), and I’m digging it so far. The interface is probably the most significant thing I’ve noticed, but I know there are lots and lots of other changes under the hood. Here are some of the key things that stand out to me…

  • Pardon the Dust (again)

    Sorry for the light posting, yet again. Between work and other things going on in my life, I’ve hardly had time to devote to the site. I’ve been fixing some longstanding issues with the site over the past couple of days. The site should now work fine in all modern browsers. I noticed some issues…

  • New Elements in HTML 5

    New Elements in HTML 5. As if we didn’t already have enough to learn…  With support coming from Apple, Opera the Mozilla Foundation, the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WhatWG), and – most recently – the W3C … HTML5 is catching some momentum. There’s no telling how long before they all agree on a…

  • Jeffrey Zeldman: King of Web Standards

    Jeffrey Zeldman: King of Web Standards. Excellent write-up on Zeldman. Because of him, I’m still in the field today. I was jaded with my job, didn’t have any real clear direction with what I wanted to do on the web anymore… and then I read “Designing with Web Standards” and it changed everything. I had…

  • First Impressions on Habari

    I downloaded and installed the newly released Habari 0.2 Developer Review on a test domain, and I’m impressed. Setup took less time than a typical WordPress install. Importing posts, pages and comments from my existing WP site took only a few moments. While I don’t think I’ll be making the switch to Habari just yet,…
