iPod Touch…Fantastic!!
I’m currently writing this post from the WordPress App on my new iPod Touch. I’m going to be doing mobile themes for one of my regular clients, so I needed a device to test with. So far, I’m really loving it…but it REALLY makes me want an iPhone so I can use it everywhere. For [...]

WordCast Mugshot Contest Swag – Part 1
(Note: edited at 7:32pm to clean up my inadvertent foul language…who decided the “I” key should be next to the “O” key!? ) Today I received the first part of the goodies I won by entering the WordCast Mugshot contest. I got a Lijit t-shirt and 3 stickers. Now I’m just waiting on a WordPress [...]

After migrating my SwissCenter settings over to [...]
Dynamic Page Graphics in WordPress

Layout Change
Nothing major, but you might notice a new block below on the home page. I added a section (powered by FeedWordpress) to pull in my ride logs from VeLog via RSS. This way, I only have to remember to post them in one place, and they automagically get posted to the blog too. Isn’t Web [...]
