At work, we’re about to get started on a pretty straightforward reservation application. We have a client that offers tours of their facility and they need a web app to take and manage reservations for said tours. I know that I could code this out in php/mysql pretty easily, but…
New Camera: Casio EX-Z750 After much deliberation and in-store camera testing, Ames and I decided on and ordered a Casio EX-Z750. Finally, our picture taking withdrawal is over and we have a replacement for our old and busted Kodak CX4300. New Website: amesnjas.com I had been thinking and talking about…
What a great weekend! On Saturday, Amy and I threw our first party in our new house. It was supposed to be a BBQ, complete with an outdoor fire and horseshoes, but the cold and rain forced it indoors. We still had about 20 people show up though and had…
Amy and I were chatting via Google Talk this afternoon when she asked, “How did you do that?”“Do what?” I replied.“Turn your tongue sideways.”I was using the Adium chat client at the time, so I had to log into my gmail account to see what she was talking about, but…

I just read this morning that the next Event Apart will be in Atlanta. That’s pretty darn close to where I live here in South Carolina. How close? Well I’ve employed the Google Maps API to show you: I know this won’t be quite the same as making it to…
Photoshop Basics – Issue 2 I’d already started writing my next topic when Justin commented that he wanted a “masking tutorial for dummies”. I’m not sure I know exactly how to approach that, but I do use Photoshop’s layer masking quite often, so I think I’ll take a shot at…
Ames leaves for a couple of days and all of a sudden our cat thinks she runs the place. I took this picture of her drinking out of my cup, which she knows she’s not supposed to do, and when she realizes I’m taking pictures she gives me THIS face:…
