Feed The Animals

If you haven't heard Girl Talk's Feed The Animals album yet, you're missing out. They are following the same model as Radiohead and allowing the listener to name their price. Yes, you can put $0.00 in but you should really at least put a dollar or something in there (I paid $10.00 myself). Check it out => Girl Talk - Feed The Animals

Drupal Hell

I've recently had the (dis)pleasure of working with Drupal and thus far, it has left an undesirable taste in my mouth. I'm somewhat on the fence about the way I feel towards the Drupal content management system as a whole. There are parts of it that I find really intuitive and well-crafted, but on the other hand I feel that it is bloated and cumbersome...

CMS Made Simple 1.3

I just finished upgrading to CMS Made Simple version 1.3 and have to give the CMSMS team credit for the amount of improvements they've made. I think right at this moment, the updated Search module is my favorite pick of the litter. It now offers the ability to limit the search to specific modules only, which can be a simple comma-separated list. A prime example of where this can really come in handy is if you use a forum module of some sort that doesn't offer a search. You can now implement a separate search that will only be constrained to the contents of the forum itself. Nice!

XML+CMSMS+Flash=Zen

Being primarily a front-end UI designer, I don't have nearly as much back-end experience as I'd like to have; although I've come quite a ways over the years. I've recently been working in conjunction with a colleague on a project that involves CMS Made Simple, Flash, XML and ActionScript and the result thus far is pretty cool. I did the preliminary template design and the CSS and my coworker has been working on the Flash and content portions...

Gears of War 2: NOVEMBER 2008

If you need a reason to start writing your Christmas list 10 months early, Gears of War 2 is it! At GDC, Microsoft made it official. Gears of War 2 is scheduled to arrive on the XBox 360 in November, and will be exclusive to the 360 (the way it should be!). Gears of War 2: November 2008 - blog.wired.com

HD-DVD Officially Flatlines

It's true and if you didn't see it coming, you're probably the guy that still owns and actively uses a VHS player. I know, some of you are like "what is VHS?" Well, boys and girls, it's... nevermind.

Integration, inspiration, progression

Bloqhead.com had become stagnant for a period due to my lack of time to do anything other than work lately, but I've recently gotten back on track with it and have been dilligently writing new CSS, integrating my layout with a fresh CMS Made Simple installation and getting everything pretty. It tends to be a tedious task between testing my smarty templates and writing my classes, id's, etc. but the end result looks promising.
