Web 2.0… The Machine is Us/ing UsTuesday, February 20th, 2007 with 2 Comments »

I am always behind the times, especially recently. And again, I am sure everyone has seen this video, but it is new to me! And that is apparently what matters. Anyways, this video is an incredible clip put together by the user mwesch (Michael Wesch) on YouTube. It was brought to my attention by John […]

Doctor, doctor, gimme the news…. I’ve got a bad case of template blues. OK, that was bad, but this list is not. Dr. Web Weblog (I am looking into whether this is his real name or not) has put together a fantastic list of some great Wordpress themes. He has all of the notables, plus […]

If you live in the Boston Area, do not go outside!Friday, January 26th, 2007 with Comments Off

It is so absolutely, painfully, intolerably, butt clinchingly cold outside! I am not a wimp by any measure, but… well… actually, I am a massive wimp. People say that big guys, for some reason, are the biggest baby’s, and I definitely fall into that category. But like Al Gore, I am totally serial… You need […]

That’s right! You heard me! According to a very reliable source, I am the 611th blogger! Well, no, not in the history of blogging… but *on a list of 2000 bloggers. Now, you might be asking yourself, what list? What are the criteria? Is Boing-Boing number 1 as usual?… Actually, no. This list is just […]

The Ultimate Best Buy Extended Warranty NightmareTuesday, January 23rd, 2007 with 2 Comments »

Well, in case you haven’t read about it yet, there is this incredible saga blazing across the net involving a poor guy, his new TV, and Best Buy. I can vouch for his claims about their dismal service. In fact, I can do so from an insider perspective. That’s right: I used to work for […]

53 CSS Techniques - From Smashing MagazineThursday, January 18th, 2007 with 1 Comment »

I ran across this post from Smashing Magazine and it is incredible. It is a collection of links to various CSS techniques, some of which I didn’t even know myself. I guess I am relatively new to CSS and the advanced world of web design, but I did not know how to do a lot […]

How 16,000 Playstation 3’s Will Destroy The World!Sunday, January 14th, 2007 with 4 Comments »

I recently read a little short story in GQ Magazine (Britain) about the latest supercomputer being developed by IBM. It will utilize cell processors like those found in the Playstation 3 (16,000 of them), and it will supposedly safeguard the US nuclear arsenal. The supercomputer is said to be the size of 3 basketball courts […]

5 Resolutions for j david macor.comSunday, December 31st, 2006 with 5 Comments »

This is kind of a meme (sorta) inspired post started by Brian Clark on this post. I know that he probably just wanted me to leave a comment with some resolutions, but hey, why not just write a post? Well, most likely because no one will ever read it… but, here goes nothing!

Beautify the Main […]

Wordpess Tiger Administration v3.0Friday, December 22nd, 2006 with 2 Comments »

Some people may not be aware that you can actually change the look of the Administration page in wordpress. The default one is lackluster to say the least. What I love about the Tiger admin is actually its Apple feel. Now I am not the biggest Apple fan, but I do split my time with […]

A new look for a new yearFriday, December 22nd, 2006 with 1 Comment »

Hopefully by now, all three of my readers have realized that I have changed the theme for my site. And in case they didn’t, I am writing this post! So for starters, I need to give credit where credit is due. The original theme is 5thirtyone v2, which is a phenomenal theme on its own. […]

I am so disappointed with Apple…Wednesday, September 13th, 2006 with 6 Comments »

Yesterday, Apple came out with some new products. First, there is a bigger iPod, then a bigger Nano available in multiple colors, and finally a new shuffle. There was also the mentioning of the iTV product, but it is not yet out.

Another RedesignFriday, July 28th, 2006 with 12 Comments »

Well, I got bored with my design really quickly, so I decided to go with a website design that was really dark. This design is up to standards and my template now features some really badass ajax effects. The original template was done by the undersigned, but I tore it apart and re-did most of […]

Microsoft has gone and released another beta version of Internet Explorer. Personally, I like the browser. I know that it is long overdue, but I am not dissappointed. Anyways, as this release draws nearer, we designers are going to have to start seriously developing for this browser. So give it a try and see how […]

Introducing A New Look!Wednesday, June 28th, 2006 with 1 Comment »

Well, it has taken forever! Between graduating, awesome vacations to Italy and all kinds of crazy personal business, I haven’t had much time to work on anything web related. I can barely tell you what has been going on in the world, much less have any new open source designs prepared. But, I have been […]
