Shuu.sh: micro-size Twitter stream hogs

Today, FastCo Design released this year’s best in ux design, which features 14 wonderful websites and devices with beautiful interfaces. (If you have any interest in design, FastCo Design is great! It’s an online publication from Fast Company magazine.) One of the featured websites is Shuu.sh, which allows you to micro-size those pesky Twitter stream hogs. [...]

GoDaddy’s SOPA Support

As I’m sure many of my techie friends have come to find out, GoDaddy backed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Honestly, it doesn’t surprise me since Bob Parsons is probably the biggest douchebag on the planet (right next to Kim Jong Il, who was recently removed from the list due to personal reasons). A [...]

Using a Key-Pair To Automatically Login with PuTTY

Okay, here’s a little tutorial to teach you how to use a key to log into an SSH server. It’s actually quite simple after I found out how to do it, thanks to this guy. Log into your SSH server using PuTTY. In your home directory (if you don’t automatically go there at login, you [...]

Music by Google

Music by Google is a cloud-based music manager from the folks at Google. Songs from your media library are uploaded to Music so you can listen to them from anywhere. It’s currently in an invitational beta stage (you can request an invite from the site) but it seems like development is going pretty well. Currently, [...]

Estimating US Corporation Income Tax in Excel

I recently found myself having to estimate income tax for my U.S.-based corporation. So, I made an Excel formula to handle it for me. It takes the taxable income (you’re on your own for that, but you can reference the IRS’s instructions for form 1120) and puts it against the brackets listed in the publication. [...]

Sync installed apps with Android Market

Sometimes the Market app on Android phones can get a little confused and not sync up installed applications properly. Maybe it was a corruption, an app, or a crash, but, nevertheless, the damage is done. This affects the My apps of the Market where you can view all your installed apps, look for updates, rate, [...]

Quick way to disable tab animation in Firefox 4 with about:config

On Lifehacker, they show a quick and easy way of editing one value in Firefox’s about:config to turn off the animations between tabs. Which, ascetically speaking, it’s quite nice. However, I use Firefox as more of my workhorse browser which I’m developing sites and what not, so ascetics take a back seat. This little fix [...]

Secure browsing and IM with Tor

The first I heard of the Tor network was on this TWiT episode when Xeni Jardin was talking about browsing privately outside (and inside) the US using Tor. We have a very secure firewall at work by one of the better companies in the industry, which blocks certain sites and ports including IM. So, what’s [...]

HL Twitter

As I’m still making changes to the design of my blog, I wanted a plugin to retrieve and cache my tweets and let me customize the widget without digging into their files. Normally, I create my own widgets for this sort of thing since most widgets you find for WordPress are either coded poorly or [...]

Unsupported Browser!

My site is designed for and currently displays best with modern browsers (and it looks like you don't have one!).

Everything should still function properly, but you won't be able to see all the fancy effects, text, or the way I intended my design to look.

Consider trying the latest version of either Firefox or Chrome... I think you'll like it!
