City of Ember Movie
Well, I finally got around to renting this movie from Netflix. I don't usually review movies that often so excuse the short review. I saw the trailer sometime last year and it looked like an interesting movie but I never got around to going to a theatre and watching it. I enjoyed the movie and thought it was interesting to watch. The whole atmosphere of the underground city was really well done as well as the costumes. The movie doesn't have too much action but the setting of the movie makes it ...
On a Roll
Here is a quick update on the new WP Now themes ;)
The next WP Now theme is completely coded into wordpress - just waiting for Jesse or Lee to add example content. This theme is a simple theme with a colorful blue/purple background and color scheme. The theme comes with an included Twitter latest updates section as well as a Flickr photo stream.This theme will be launching within the next day or two.
The next theme is in the process of being sliced into XHTML/CSS, the homepage is done - st...
Busy Busy
Sorry I haven't had a chance to update my blog in a while, I have been extremely busy. At the moment I am actively working on a pretty big client project as well as the next WP Now Theme (Simplista - A simple theme). Hopefully I can get the client project out of the way so I can focus on WP Now and be successful with that. I don't plan on accepting any more huge projects due to my involvement in WP Now, but I might accept smaller ones. Once things start to slow down a bit I will be posting more ...
Purely CSS-Based Dropdown Menu
Here is a purely CSS-based dropdown menu that I threw together real quick for my blog. It doesn't use any javascript and works in all major latest browsers (Not you IE6 - You need to die already :P)
If you have any issues or questions leave them in a comment below.
Please Note: This is just a simple example for you to base your own menus off of. It does not take into account browser screen width or height (to prevent opening menus off-screen) because that would require Javascript, maybe in...

E3 2009 Impressions
A bit late, but nonetheless... here are my impressions / thought regarding the 2009 E3 expo.
Microsoft
I only watched part of Microsoft's E3 2009 press conference, but from what I did watch I was impressed. Project Natal looks really sweet (assuming it actually works and is accurate). It would definetly be interesting to see Microsoft incorporate Natal into not only their Xbox 360 console but also into Windows. Being able to sit back and "slide" my hands to scroll through media center would ...
Dynamic PHP Font Generator
This is a little script I expanded upon that I found from one of my previous clients. The original script was created by Stewart Rosenberger. The WP Now website uses this script to dynamically generate testimonial signatures.

Computer Upgrades
About a week ago I ordered 8GB of RAM for my desktop PC. Yesterday it finally got here and I got that all installed. I purchased the RAM from Newegg. The RAM runs in 4-4-4-15 2T timing and is blazing fast :). I have Photoshop configured to use a max of 4GB of RAM (and it does) and it doesn't slow down at all - even with 10-15 huge PSDs loaded....
Opengoo – Open Source Web Office
A few months ago I came across an amazing open source web office suite called OpenGoo. It contains everything I need for managing my personal and client projects, including a task manager, calendar, contacts, web links, documents, presentations, time tracking, and more. I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a free and open source project management application to take a look at OpenGoo.
For more information about OpenGoo be sure to check out their website....
